Nervous about eating on vacation

I'm leaving for a vacation in Maine tomorrow, and I'm staying until Thursday. I'm really nervous about eating too much while I'm away. I'm afraid that if we go to restaurants, I'm going to just start eating, and not be able to stop. I know that sounds silly, but that's how I feel. I just feel so fat today. I'm too afraid to eat anything. I just feel really out of control when I start eating. Like I said, I'm so afraid that I won't be able to stop.

Hi Hon,

Read the post that I just wrote to you in your "*afraid* to change" post.

Huge Hugs, Michelle

the best thing about eating in a restaurant is you can't keep eating until you burst open, because you can only eat what you've ordered :)

i know it's harrowing and you're anxious. my best advice is try to order things you really and truly want to eat. even if you think something has too many calories or whatever, if it's what you really want, you're much less likely to binge later if you just order it and eat it.

i know you're scared! it's not just the food, it's not having control of your environment in the same way that you do at home...vacations are unpredictable and take you out of your comfortable hive.

it will be ok, even if you eat whatever you like. we'll be here waiting to find out how it went for you and how you feel when you get back.

have a good time!
