How do u survive going on holiday?

[chockylove]

I'm going away on Monday for a girls holiday. I haven't reached my goal weight but hoping to continue TS when I return. I'm trying to plan ahead so I don't do too much damage in a week and mess up my hard work. I'll be using this as my food break week as i wouldn't get away with taking my shakes with me. I would really appreciate some advice from those who have survived going away without putting on too much weight.

I think the trick is... to not overeat. Keep it high protein, low carb... a massive problem overweight people have is simply eating more than they need. Not knowing when too stop. I usually lose weight on holiday, the heat helps me too not overeat and the thought of that tight dress in the evening lol.

Enjoy yourself though, I would not dream of taking exante with me and if you gain a few pounds so what.. youve enjoyed yourself and you know you can do TS too get it back off

Thanks for the advice. I've got my next months supply arriving tomorrow so I'll have them waiting for me when I get back. Small portions for me will be easy after not having food for a month. I'll be dancing most of the calories off so hopefully i will still have a loss by the end of the week. Yey !

Enjoy your holiday! hopefully the dancing will help but as you've planned ahead your exante will be waiting for you when you return xx

I haven't yet been on holiday (mine isn't until October and I should be almost at goal by then), but I know that my plan is to take exante stuff with me just in case the others decide to have high carb breakfasts so that I always have a healthy alternative, but otherwise just eat as much low carb stuff as I can get my grubby paws on with a very occasional treat after a high protein meal if I really fancy it. Aiming to stay low carb, but pretty much ignore calories. I know that if I think 'sod it' and eat the high carb stuff I used to eat on holiday, I would come back at least a stone heavier and be bloody miserable for it.

Thanks for the good advice. I survived the holiday and left exante at home. As it was so hot I didn't feel like eating so managed on small meals and did lots of walking and dancing. I drink a lot and stuck to diet or coke zero mixers. I came back with 4lb gain but lost that in two days. So it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Well done - that's really good. I'm a bit nervous of over eating on holiday. I hope that if I stick to high protein/low carb Ill be okay. Thats fab tho - only a 4lb gain.
