Warning for vacationers

I want to save others the problem I had on vacation last week. We had a family vacation at a lake house, so we bought a lot of food to have for the week. As the end of the week approached, I had this uncontrollable urge to eat up all the food. We hadn't brought a cooler and we had very little room in the car, so it was either eat it, or throw it away. UGH! I found myself eating all kinds of food that I would not have normally, but I didn't want to waste it. :sick: :embarassed: I started out the week o.k., making healthy choices. But ugh, I wish I could get a do-over for Friday and Saturday! Oh well, hopefully, I can save some MFP folks from the same misery! Enjoy your vacations, but as the end of the week rolls around, either pack up the food or THROW IT AWAY! Your body is not a garbage can! :tongue:

    I totally GET this post. Being raised to clean my plate and hearing "there are starving children all over the world" blah blah blah.....definitely has an impact. Can't stand to "waste" food. But you are right. MY BODY IS NOT A GARBAGE CAN!

    Love that, thanks for sharing.
