Vacation eating trap

[KimMcD3 2]

I'm almost 4 months post VSG and down 68lbs. I need to do more exercising but I've been very good about food....until now.

I am day 3 of a week long vacation with my family and find I'm making bad food choices and snacking/grazing all day. Im worried I'm undoing all my hard work and won't be able to get back on track.

My family keeps unhealthy Snacks everywhere which is so hard as I have to keep them out of my house normally.

@@KimMcD3 Distract yourself - get away from the food, go for a walk, read a book, take a nap, color, paint your nails! Keep reminding yourself why you had surgery and how far you've come in 4 months! You can do this! Tell yourself NO (out loud) if you need to. Find healthy Snacks so there's something available. When you get back from vacation - you should consider therapy with a counselor who works with emotional eating (I am pre-op and worked with one for 3 months). Good luck! Stay strong!
