I think - wait, I know - you might be thinking about yourself too much. Get some thoughts that aren’t all about you and poof! Problem gone. I promise you nobody is looking at you. You’re a mom on vacation. Nobody, nobody at all, cares.

Enjoy the buffet.
Look around and you’ll see no one else is worried about how they look.

Don't let all these haters make you feel like you have an ED, OP. I too am very thin and look 8 months pregnant after a moderately large meal. It happens every day at home, but I don't care. When I'm on vacation and need to be in a bathing suit, I do have to watch what I consume. There is no magic bullet. Even water makes me look bloated. I was told by a plastic surgeon it's because my rectus abdominus muscles did not re-join after my pregnancy and it will always just be like this unless I surgically repair the diastasis.

This! It's your own family. I dont know people think they need to put on a display for strangers. Are you trying to attract other people's husbands?
Not OP but I feel for her. Our vacation pictures from Hawaii I just look like a geriatric pregnant person. Cute pictures on the beach but it’s like why is that old lady 7 months pregnant?

If I eat a normal meal and drink liquids I look like I have a half volleyball under my clothes. My health is fine. I don’t know if it has something to do with my repeat C sections and the fact that I have a very small rib cage and long waist.
My primary advice is that you should not GAF. Eat what you want. But if you really care, the answer is to eat small amounts of lean protein and high fiber. So like an apple and some fish for breakfast. Kale and some chicken breast for lunch. Have fun.

I'm petite and skinny with a relatively flat tummy but my waistline expands about 3-4 inches after having a "normal" meal that it looks pretty obvious on my frame. What I have observed is that carbs, carbonated drinks, and certain alcoholic drinks like beer make the situation even worse so you might want to minimize those.
Not OP but this is my issue on vacation. I think flying also exacerbates this problem. I don't drink much alcohol but I love carbonated beverages on vacation. And am more likely to eat carb-heavy meals. We spent spring break at a resort and I got a bit of a complex while we were there because I usually don't think about my belly at all and I think I looked like I had a gut all week.
Also I'm mid-40s and I think some of this is "menopause belly".
When I got home and went back to my normal eating habits, my stomach shrank without losing any weight.
It's annoying but I guess I'm not willing to sacrifice eating this way on vacation. I might try to scale it back some, but vacation is the one time I truly don't second guess myself when I order food -- I just get what sounds good and don't worry about it. Oh well. Photos from the chest up unless I'm wearing a caftan!

Life is far far too short to worry about this. Vacation is for letting go and enjoying yourself.

This is extremely sad that you have such disordered eating and negative thoughts about your body that you're considering drinking only liquids or barely eating in order to avoid having any bloating. I really hope you don't have children that you're going to pass you're messed up issues onto.

Get a tummy control swimsuit so you don’t feel so self conscious.
