Chick in control... on holidays?

  • I'm a little bit scared because tomorrow I will leave for my holidays, two weeks in a foreign country in a sort of "european youth organized camping"... very cool, but I won't be able to choose ANY of the meals
    I HOPE to take it as a challenge, and I have to remember that I'm still able to choose what goes into my mouth

    I just fear to feel defeated or irritatated after a couple of days with too much unhealthy food or too carbs ecc (PLUS, they know I'm vegetarian, so I fear they are gonna cover me with carbs because they are not used to that ) and therefore to fall off the wagon and indulge and overeating for two whole weeks.
    I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
    I'm doing so good now, I'm very close to my goal and I've never been this thin before (really... well, except when I was 14 years old ) and I don't want to ruin everthing. Not just for the two tweeks themselves... also because if I come back after a two weeks of overeating (usually I don't overeat... I do binge... but I guess I will be too ashamed to binge with strangers... and I won't be able to buy-and-hide food... so prolly I will overeat) I know there is a HIGH probability that I will give up.

    BUT, now that all is said and done... WELL,
    I can say, better, DECLARE, that I will try to take it as challenge for me
    Let's see if my relationship with food has improved, then! Let's see if I deserve this thinness! I'm sure I do!
    So I will try to take day by day, meal by meal... I will try to make EACH LITTLE choice towards the better... let's see.

    Of course when I come back I will RUN here for accountability
    HELP ME LADIES!
    and see you.. almost soon!
  • Take a deeeeeeeep breath, relax and enjoy the trip!

    You are only going away for two weeks . . . it is what you do when you come home that will matter . . . getting right back on track!

    While you are away . .. you will probably have time to take in some exercise - if so do as much walking or other working out as you can.

    Eat fruit and veggies where you can . . . and as for the rest, moderation & enjoy.

    Two weeks out of the rest of your life should not be stressful.

    Just make a plan for when you come home . . . and that plan should include not getting onto the scales for a few days to let any holiday bloat disappear.

    You will do great!
  • Julietta, I think Danni said it all
    What usually happens to me when I am with strangers is that I am too ashamed to overeat in front of others. So it actually helps me.

    You will do great for sure! Enjoy your trip!

    P.S. Maybe you could take some canned vegetarian food with you (tofu or something that will allow you to make right choices, if there is no other option available). Just a thought.....

    Have fun!
  • You can do this!!

    You are so close to goal, and you DO deserve the results that you have worked SO hard for!

    Take it as a challenge, and an opportunity to learn just how far you've come! Even if you do have a time or two where you eat a bit more then you meant to, don't let it bring you down - just get back on track as soon as possible.

    Enjoy your trip!! Can't wait to hear all about it!
  • Thank You All!

    and have a nice mid-july.... even without me!
