Holiday

Options
Feeling like size of a house . Over done my goal each day but staying under guidelines for a women of 2000. On holiday in America so feeling guilty. Only over indulged 3 days so going to try be good rest of week

    Personally I feel like staying under maintenance during a vacation is a big win!

    I finished a 12 day holiday 6 days ago. I ate a lot more than my maintenance calories on most of those days and my tracking was probably off because I ate a lot of foods that I wouldn't normally.

    I weighed and measured myself 2 days after the holiday ended and although my weight was up by 2.6 lbs, my measurements were exactly the the same as before. I weighed myself yesterday and today and I'm back to my pre-holiday weight.

    Don't worry too much, enjoy yourself and just don't take too much notice of the scale directly after your holiday 😊

    Here is a good thread about going a little crazy. My own story is on page 2 I believe.

    I saw this video posted on a different thread before my holiday and it really helped me calm down about the (possible) impending weight gain.

    It's worth a look 👍
