I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks and even though I won't be in a place where I think the food will be SO tempting, I am nervous about how to not overdo it. Any tips from when you have gone away and you were successful in keeping your "vacation diet" under control?

Keep the moderation going. That is the hardest thing I have an issue with when I am away from home and tend to forget about it. I don't starve myself either. If I am paying for a vacation (and I know I need one) then I am just going to be observant, I am not going overboard about it.

I thought I replied to this sorry.

I've not faced the problem but I think I would try and enjoy my holiday but hold some self control.

I was successful this last time because we rented a condo with a kitchen in it and then bought food from the grocery store. When I have stayed in hotel rooms and had to eat out all the time, on the other hand, I pretty much blew my diet!

Great idea MandaBear!! I think if I can maybe cook some while we're gone, then it will help me keep control. We will have access to a kitchen, so I think I will try and cook about 50% of the time. The tips on "moderation" are really good to keep in mind. Maybe I will put something on the bathroom mirror that says "MODERATION!!".
