and the best part: I STAYED ON PLAN AND WAS NOT DEPRIVED ONE BIT!!!
I proved you can go anywhere and do anything and still have a really good time and not go off plan!!! I am thrilled!!! My trip was about sight seeing, family, spending time with my dad, and the culture. Plus I did a lot of shopping!
I always wanted to go to Italy, but I didn't want to be the fat American they make fun of over there. They are shocked at our eating habits and serving sizes. They use hardly any sugar, and everything there is fresh. You don't find store wrapped bread anywhere, it is all bought daily or every couple days. Amazing to not see very few, and I mean VERY FEW overweight Italians.
I am one that won't take the chance of straying at all! I worked to hard to get where I am now, and my goal size is in sight. I am doing the program according to Julie and won't take any chances at all! I have heard to many sob stories of those who strayed and got totally messed up. No way do I want that to happen. It isn't worth it.

What beautiful picture. You look great and obviously feel even better. So glad you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing experience! Instead of gaining weight, you seem to have gained a new sense of confidence, and a load of amazing memories.
ReplyDeleteI am SO PROUD of you Linda! SO SO PROUD! I knew you could do it-I knew you would see your vacation in a whole new light: sight seeing, being with your father, seeing family: THOSE are reasons to live for. WE NO LONGER LIVE TO EAT!!!!!!! You are a wonderful example of doing this program correctly. Just like an alcoholic, you would not use being on vacation as an excuse to slip into old habits. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! You are awesome. You give me new strength to continue on my journey. 2 1/2 years, and still working the program. We rock!!!!! Can't wait to see you!!!!
