Last summer, I went on vacation, ate very well, and was thrilled to not re-gain any weight. In the past, travel almost always led to weight gain. Breaking that pattern was amazing. It re-confirmed that many of my fears about weight-loss surgery were unfounded. It also showed me that my new habits are becoming firmly rooted.
Now, 10 months later, I've recently returned from another trip, which included a lot of great food. I was so happy to discover my weight when I returned was exactly the same as when I left.
I was worried, and now am greatly relieved.
This is a great incentive to also quickly return to my eating and exercise plan, post-travel.
