Putting food genie back in bottle after 10 day vacation!

Berkgal33 · December 2016

So I am hoping to gets some tips on how to go back to a more restrictive manner of eating after spending time on a vacation. I went to Caribbean for 10 days, and although I didn't go off the rails completely I ate substantially more than I have been for the last year. I didn't log for the vacation and I do not regret a single bite BUT I am home and having trouble getting back to my "normal". I still have 20 pounds to lose (after vacation 23.5!) Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I would say meal prep. I'll be in a similar situation in a couple days. Make a menu for the next week, buy the items, prep everything and just stick to eating what's on the menu. Buy sensible snacks in case you are feeling a little hungry. Don't keep anything tempting in the house. Make sure you're drinking water in between meals to stay full.

Timely for me - I went bananas over Christmas and ate way too much. I think just being really strict and hyper-vigilant with yourself is the key. Usually for me, the cravings are gone after three days, but those first three days totally suck.

Think I'm gonna go to bed earlier than usual .. I normally don't eat when I sleeping .. at least I don't log it if I do lol

I've learned that I can't take the genie out. I think I have to be the one that eats just at or slightly over maintenance on special occasions while in a deficit. But that's just me.

Just focus on getting back into your routine of logging food and staying in your calories. I wouldn't be surprised if you were back down to pre-vacation weight after a week of being back on schedule. Good Luck!
