Vacation Eating, Need Control

I’ll be going to Disney this week into next. It will be the first time I’ve had to make choices while away for an entire week, and I’ve been very good for a long time.

I know at the food court, I have the option of chicken (not fried) which I had often last time, but in the parks themselves, I’m going to have to prepare myself to be strong. Snacks are included. While I have healthy options packed for the room, and protein breakfast bars for the morning, it’s the relaxed attitude, the “I’m on vacation” that can throw me. It’s easy to say, well, just now, or just this time. I don’t want to do that. I want to make choices that are good, because I want to make good choices.

I can choose an apple over cheesecake, it just takes my hand picking up the apple.

I can choose a salad over a burger, it takes these words out of my mouth…”Salad, please.”

I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. I’ve been in a zone for awhile now, and I’d like to stay there. To say this won’t challenge me would be foolish.

I guess the question is, do I want to be bigger than the challenge and be smaller, or give in, and be bigger on the scale. I’ve been working so hard, I have no intention of throwing it all away. I’ll still enjoy my vacation, enjoy my food choices, but I must think before putting something in my mouth.

I’ll be away until around Thanksgiving, so have a great holiday to those who celebrate it, and peace and cheers to everyone.

See you on the flip side.
