Vacation success

Just came back from vacation. We were 12 days at a family cottage on the water. Extended family was there. I had no control of the food in the house or on the table. Breakfasts were always large & festive. Lots of dessert type foods & chips & things. (Lots of fruit & veggies, too.)
I had hoped to only gain 2 pounds. In years past, I've gained as much as 5 pounds this week.
I gained nothing. I'm so pleased.
It was my plan to log calories while there. It was too difficult to do while being polite. It didn't seem right asking for the contents of things other people prepared. So, I stopped after a day or two. I mentally counted what I was eating based upon knowledge learned here. In other words I...depended...upon...self-discipline. That's good.
