Emergency Family Trip

[thinthing]

I had to fly to Florida suddenly to take care of a family emergency. I thought oh no, will I be able to stay on this WOE? Naturally, the airlines did not serve anything that I could eat, but I took cheese cubes, pepperoni and boiled eggs along and I was fine! I treated myself to a Starbucks decaf coffee with cream and sugar free syrup in the next airport.

Total I was in Florida a week-ate out ALOT. I basically stuck to meats and veggies as best I could - far from perfect, ie I ate all regular restaurant salad dressings, etc.

I thought for sure that I had gained during this time period, but to my surprise I actually lost 2 lbs! It just goes to show you that you can make it through situations like this with a little planning.

Thanks for posting this. You planned ahead by bringing acceptable foods along. Most restaurants are very accomodating to our specific needs, you just have to ask. Congrats on your weight loss! I think having a plan A and a back-up plan B is one of the secrets to our success.

Weigh to go, thinthing!!!

You did great.
You also did the very best you could. The answer to be successful is like you said. Plan for success. If you don't plan you will surely fail.

I am proud of you. This WOE is just the best!
