Will You Be Sticking To Your Diet At BlogHer?
My No Dieting Vacation: Will You Be Sticking To Your Diet At BlogHer?
I’ve been doing pretty good on my…Not really a diet, diet. Basically, I have lost most of the weight I had gained since last year’s BlogHer conference. It’s really amazing how easy it is to gain twenty pounds when you’re not looking. I blame it on the whole love/hate relationship with my scale thing.
Anyway, now I am faced with a dilemma…To diet, or not to diet, at the BlogHer conference?
I would love to tell you that I plan on being the beacon of healthy eating at this year’s BlogHer conference. But, I just can’t do it. Well…I just don’t want to do it. I want to have a good time and not worry about how many calories of fat are in a chocolate chip cookie.
That’s ok, right?
I’m sure there will be plenty of healthy food choices at the conference, and I may even choose to eat some of them. However, I’m not going to be sticking to any type of healthy diet. How about you? Will you be sticking to your diet at the BlogHer conference?
What do you think? Is it better to stick to your diet on vacation, or just give into the urge to eat and be merry?
This is what Mel from My World, My Words did on her vacation…
I got to a point, many baaad meals later, while eating a delish corn bread muffin and a plate of macoroni and cheese at the Hawk’s Cay buffett (we visited for their 4th of July celebration) where I finally got honest with myself and my people and annouced that I was on vacation and since my willpower stayed at home I am just going to enjoy myself.
And I did. I enjoyed myself through every meal and margarita. In the back of my mind, though, I could not help but be a little scared at what the scale would say when I got home.
Beetqueen agrees that Road trips and dieting don’t mix…
It is simply impossible to diet while on any kind of vacation. Even though our stay at my in-laws’ house was fairly short (only 3 1/2 days there + 1 1/2 travel days), any thought of a diet flew right out the window. This is, of course, because on car trips of any sort, my willpower fails me entirely.
From Motherwise Cracks…I Am Now Wearing My Vacation…
Well, the party’s over but it’s still wearing on – on me. Yep, the fabulous meals and double desserts are now officially hanging around my middle reminding me of what a great vacation I had. My goal pants that have been hanging on my closet door since May seem to have shrunk another size.
Now, if you don’t want to get home from your vacation to find you’ve gained ten pounds, you could try some Tips for Avoiding Vacation Weight Gain. Or, you could just not get on the scale.
It seems that dieting while on vacation is difficult for most people. So…I think I’ll just be going on a No Dieting Vacation.
What will you be doing?
