I am going on vacay pretty soon and I am terrified. For the past 2 months I have been working really hard at getting the dreaded last 10 pounds off. I am half way there. It doesn't seem like much 5 pounds in 45 days, but I am really happy.
Basically I have done it through, reasonably eating healthy, not over eating and exercising. I have my days where it takes everything I have to not sit on the couch in front of the TV wolf down a box of cookies and then wash it down with a bag of chips. But I am happy to say that I am now at the point where cookies and chips can enter my house and will stay for more than a day. I am learning that just because it is there doesn't mean it needs to be eaten.
Anywho the reason for my post. My fear. I am scared that I will go on holidays and all my hard work will be lost. This is a completely rational fear. Every vacation I have been on since I was 18 I have gained 5 - 10 pounds. When I was 18 I went to Vegas and I gained 10 pounds. I just can't control myself on holidays. My friends and I ate at IHop every single day. 3am rolled around and we were cravin' the cakes.
I have a plan, and my goal is to come back at the same weight I left. Wish me luck I'll check in when I get back.

I really like your first pic of Ravishing Ruth, reminds me of someone I know...
Good Luck!
Ya I know me in a week.
Where are you going on Vacay? Why didn't I know about this? You can do it. Just don't go with the mentality "I'm on vacation I can eat anything" cause that is not true. Eat as healthy as you can and find ways to exercise. And stay away from IHOP or anything like it.
Good call. I am upping my exercise and keeping track of what I eat. It's Monday and so far so good.
Yeah, but that was like the funnest vacation ever. (I admit I still have a few extra pounds from it as well, but it was totally worth it!)
