[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]

This doesn't help with the a**hole relatives, but I managed not to get off track on my last vacation by being at least PARTIALLY adherent to my diet.  I did allow indulgences (In & Out burgers like every day ... So Cal road trip!) but I was very careful about breakfast, only ate a big dinner if it was something special, and worked out every day.  I also tracked my calories (not every day, but about half of the days).  I made sure that I got right back to my program (weight watchers) when I got home by grocery shopping the next day.  I managed to hold my weight steady and not gain, and did get back on track.

Basically, I think expecting vacation to be 100% perfect is impossible, but the key is to maintain at least PART of the structure and routine.  So if that means breakfast, workouts, tracking ... just do that.  Also just put a ton of effort into getting back on track ASAP when you return.  [/quote]
