Vacation Eating?

lilithe1

I'm going to Italy for 2 weeks, beginning on Sunday. I have lost some weight already and don't want to totally ruin my progress, but at the same time, I'm going to be in ITALY on vacation with my husband and another couple and I don't want to just sit there and watch while they eat all this yummy food and drink lots of wine!

My question is, if this is a "lifestyle change", does that include vacation? Obviously I'm not going to splurge just for the sake of splurging, and will really try to keep an eye on my portions, but to what extent? I always gain weight on vacation, despite all the walking around. I would love any ideas on how to maintain or maybe even lose a little weight while I'm there!

Thanks all!

Well, now that is a good question. Life style changes should include vaca. Vaca is usualy what messes people up. They enjoy what's been denied and then it's hard to get back in check. I exercise a lot. Usually lots of walking. In the end I usually come out only gaining a few pounds. However, the worst for me is getting back on track. It's soooo hard. So, maybe eat smart during the day so you can splurge a little for dinner?? I mean how often do you go to Italy after all.
