I've never been on a cruise and it's probably a good thing. I fall into the 'I deserve it' trap and need to convince myself that I deserve a healthier, slimmer body!
Your post hit home. Once I retired I've been gaining weight. My thought is having self knowledge of emotional eating isn't enough for me to change my eating habits. Rationalizing over eating is so easy, thanks for reinforcing the need to change. Diet and exercise is difficult, I just have to "do it,"
I had a similar experience this past weekend traveling with family to Vegas. Of course, it’s fine to ‘let go’ of routines - but I’m thankful that my body doesn’t let me go crazy for too long. It always pulls me back to doing what makes me feel my best. And I’m always so grateful to get home and back to healthy routines...and feeling good.
Also thanks for the mention! The title of the article caught my eye & then I realized it was mine. 🤗
Excellent article, Janice. The war of emotional eating can be lifelong. You win some battles, you lose some battles. You hope you win more often. What is currently getting in my way is the voice in my head that says, "I am already 80 years old, dammit, I will eat what I want!" Is it helping me? Not a bit.
Getting back on track on Day #3 is admirable!

Haha, great points! We often dream of lives of unconstrained abundance, but the reality is we are often better off living in moderation.

These are hard choices but easier habits...thanks for telling it like it is

Loved it Janice. The very reason cruising, as lovely as it always looks, has never tempted me. I know I wouldn’t be able to resist all the goodies. 🌼
