just a quick entry for now...trying to keep up my journaling promise to myself to keep it on the "up and up"...things are great on the sightseeing and entertainment-front, and all the working out I'm getting through the walking etc.
However, despite my best efforts, meals are just not as in control as I'd have hoped for. Tonight I feel I've gained like 7 pounds (no, there's no scale to verify this with, but I just have this feeling!)...been drinking plenty of water, and even tried to skip meals to allow for unavoidable splurges with dinner etc., but the carbs are my undoing. I'll keep trying...but at some point if it doesn't hold up, I'll just have to throw in the towel for now, and just wait to get it all together upon my return home.
At tonight's dinner with friends and friends of friends, I was happy... but the other reality is, I was the fattest of them all! 6 months of effort, and the stinking old reality never changes!! On one hand I feel like hurrying up and gettin the weight loss started quickly..get on the hotel gym tonight...but on the other hand, am too buzzed to hardly walk, let RUN on the treadmill!! Will just have to wait until tomorrow morning. We're going hiking tomorrow, so am hoping that'll help..
ok, had to get that off my chest...now back to enjoying my vacation. No point worrying, is there?!

Enjoy vacation! You don't get to do do this too often right? Vacationing is a challenge and I dont think anyone expects you to be perfect under the mercy of others schedules. BUT, do keep trying when you can ok? Don't totally throw in the towel. Just hang in there and do the best you can.
We'll be here when you're back to your norm and we'll help ya get right back with it! Be safe!

No need to throw in the towel totally, is there? Even if some meals are splurges, you can still be careful with others. You may be the most voluptuous of your group, but you are also probably the most vivacious, intelligent and astoundingly beautiful one of the bunch, too! So there! :)

Your profile pic is gorgeous, and I second everything amryk just said above. Let your light shine through! You are beautiful and you have done so well!

I agree with the above. Don't compare yourself to others, especially on such superficial levels. Compare yourself now to how you were before. Pat yourself on the back for all the positive changes you've made in your life. Revel in your accomplishments. You deserve it!

You're right there is no point in worrying! Enjoy your vacation with your friends. Vacations don't come along that often! Then when you get back, you can get down and dirty and get back on track! You're on my team for the 20 Carb challenge and we're gonna kick some butt! :)

I agree - do not throw in the towel! Go enjoy your vacation and get back on track when you return....but please......don't skip meals ok? It isn't healthy and, as I've learned from my own experiences doesn't work! Be healthy and happy...

We've all got to have some time off and you have made such progress... so you just enjoy your time away and have fun! It's so hard to stay on track when you're away, but all that exercise you're doing will be doing something towards any extra calories. So don't worry too much, as I'm sure any gains won't be as bad as you think they will be. ;o) Enjoy the rest of your break! :o)

Coming from someone who did throw in the towel, I can say I regret it. I wish I had stuck to the program and I am praying that some of these pounds are water weight due to the salty foods. Hang in there, I know what it's like to be the biggest one, just try and think of it as a motivation to make as many healthy choices as you can. Have a great rest of the vacation!

Hope you had a lovely vaca. Love the new updated profile pic. You look so radiant and happy. That's more important than if you're the biggest person in the room. I bet an unhappy skinny person would trade places in a heartbeat. Keep up w/the process, trust that it'll get you to your goal. =)
