Freedom from the scales

I'm pretty sure this isn't a good thing, but sometimes you just have to have a break.  We officially let go of the weigh-in this week.  We'll be on vacation from Thursday through the next week.  And I intend on enjoying life without looking back, for just a little while. No scales, no counting, no organized excercise.  I DO have my reverse anorexia under control at the moment, and do realize that I really don't look as fabulous as I feel.  And after the vacation, we will be back in full force and I intend on tackling not only the 10 lbs or so that I'm sure will creep on, but the next 70.  Both kids seem to be better at "maintaining" than I am, being that I'm a binge eater as well as a closet eater.  Plus of course, they get a lot more "fun" excercise than I do.
Right now I'm struggling with guilt over this decision.  We've worked SO hard to get where we are now.  I hate giving in, even if it's only for a few weeks.  But if we really are going to do this, then I have to let go of the guilt, and just enjoy the pure pleasure of freedom from it all, or there's really no point in it. 
So- I'll check in and make sure the rest of you are keeping the fire, and to remind myself that it's something we have to get back to.  Keep inspiring and don't forget us!!!!

Sometimes a break from the ordinary is just what the body needs to get back on track.  Just have fun and don't feel guilty.  It won't be as bad as you think.  Lara

Let go of the guilt... I took a 6-week vacation from my Nutrisystem during the end of the school year, which finished off w/ a week-long family vacation after my son's graduation.  I was so afraid when I started it that I would gain at least 10 lbs. back, if not many more.  And then, how would I ever get that weight back off, not to mention the 30-some pounds I still need to work on! 
 
But you know what, I only ended up gaining 4.4 lbs!  I ate french fries, which I hadn't ate in over 7 months!  I had wine, which I hadn't drank since our LA trip (when I indulged a bit w/ Amber - LOL).  But I found myself not wanting alot of it.  I didn't try to watch how much I ate, etc. - it just naturally happened.  So I enjoyed, but didn't binge or gorge (and I have a history of binge-eating myself, so I can definitely relate to you!). 
 
You've done great, you deserve this - and you'll be surprised how fast you'll get back on track when it's all over!  Have a great time - live a little - we'll be here for you when your week is up!

We have been saying that vacations are vacations and that can mean from eating as well.  As long as you're able to get back into it when vacation is over then I don't think you have anything to worry about.  As everyone has said all along this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE and in life vacations happen.  Have fun and don't worry about it.  The counting and full on exercising will be here when you get back.
