I love food. One reason I loved my first cruise was the amazing desserts, Cabanas specials of the day and breakfast. However, this year I've resolved to really change the way I eat and I'm starting to work on trying to change my feelings toward food as well. I don't really consider what I do now dieting because I'm trying to make this change for life but some days are harder than others.
I'm looking for people who have kind of been in my shoes. When I first started these changes I told myself and my family that on the cruise I would eat whatever I wanted because hey! it's vacation. Then I said no, I still won't eat XYZ but I'll eat as many desserts as I want. Now though I worry that if I do that I'll feel a lot of guilt and possibly reset my taste buds and stomach. On the other hand I want to make the most of the food I love while I cruise that I won't eat any other time of the year.
One of my ideas was to eat a special breakfast each morning (the eggs Benedict over a hashbrown instead of an English muffin), whatever I want for lunch, and salad plus dessert for dinner with a side of something else if I'm really very hungry (doubtful). Has anyone done this sort of limited vacation cheat? Did you feel satisfied?
My doctor is not a nice person and while I'm looking for a new one she's not someone I want to talk to about all this.
