    Re: What do you guys do when traveling/visiting relatives to stay legal?

    Hi guys, I am back and I didn't cheat!! Yay for me!! I stayed on plan, we adapted all recipes to be low carb, I exercised, and I am down one pound despite TOM. Thanks for all your support, I am living proof it CAN be done and now I am soooo motivated to stay on plan. As we all said before, if you can stick with it on vacation you can do it anywhere!

        Party that is awesome. Congratulations! I am going to have the problem of traveling to my husbands high school reunion this coming weekend. In restaurants I know I will be fine because I can order a salad or meat and veggie, but the picnic at one of the classmates house on Saturday and Sunday will be a challenge. Hopefully they will have cheese, meat and veggie platters. Just to make sure I think I will bring a veggie and cheese platter to the party as my donation to the food table. It couldn't hurt right?

            Guuurrrrlllllllllllllll,, a huge WAY TO GO! WHAT amazing focus and determination! This puts you on a whole new level...You've got to be just supercharged up over this! I know I am. Do you know how many people fall apart on their vacations and cant' get going again? Do you know how many people promise and fail, do you know how many people we loose around her because of vacations....
            You are a rock star, you are committed and focused and fabulous!

              Harmony, thanks for your support!

              Sandy, so sweet of you to be excited for me, thanks!

              Deb, GREAT idea to bring a veggie and cheese platter as your contribution. I think you should plan to eat BEFORE you go to the picnic, that way you won't be starving and then have your 3 cups of veggies (or whatever rung you are on ) out of the veggie platter while you are there.

              Jess, what can I say...you have been so motivating for me, thank you! I kept remembering what you said about wanting to come back proud of myself and setting goals and reaching for them...thank you.

              The support on this board is overwhelming. It really helped me make wise choices and also not to overeat. I felt in control and as a result it was NOT THAT HARD to stick to plan on vacation. Plus, I did a LOT of the cooking myself so adapted some recipes for things like crab cakes (I posted this recipe on the recipes forum, delicious) and shrimp scampi.

              My family was hugely supportive and kept going on and on about how good I looked, which was surprising b/c I haven't really lost but 10 pounds or so since I saw them last, but I think Moms can somehow detect a 0.01 pound difference in their daughters, ha! So I ended up cooking Induction friendly meals with my Mom's help (I am a terrible cook).

              It is completely doable to go on vacation and stay legal, so everyone please make sure you don't automatically worry you will have to cheat on vacation! You can do it!

                party trouble, congrats on your success staying cheat free on your vacation. when i read your first post i thought your mom and mine sound quite a bit alike. my mom was always saying to me, "you can have just a taste or just a bit of this can't you?" i'd tell her no and explain about me not being able to have it because it either had sugar of some kind or flour or whatever. she finally got it and quit asking, but the coolest part is now she will make dinner that is induction friendly and invite DH and myself. she will make an induction friendly meatloaf as the main dish and also green beans and salad. so sometimes it just takes moms alittle longer to get it but usually once they do it's a wonderful thing.


                once again congrats!!!
