[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't relax a bit on vacation? Why not just stay home?
You  do sound disordered.[/quote]
No. I have no self control and I own it. I know in my heart of hearts that I will continue eating like crap once I get back home if I allow myself to do so on this vacation. Vacations have ruined every single attempt at weight loss over the last few years, and I refuse to give in again this time. [/quote]

I think it's great you recognize this about yourself. For some people, setting boundaries with food that you never, ever breach is the only way to ensure it will keep working (you would not tell an alcoholic that one drink will be fine, or a former smoker to just have one cigarette). I also come from an overweight family and I've maintained a 30+ lb weight loss for over 10 years now (i'll never be skinny but I have a normal bmi). For me, not indulging = freedom. If someone asks why I'm not eating something, I just say "oh, not today, thanks" and then change the subject. Even my pushy family notices what I'm eating less than I once thought they would.[/quote]
