A question I get asked a lot is, “How do I stick to my plan/ eat well when I go on vacation or have events?”

When my clients ask me about this, I usually find out it comes down to this line of thinking…

“I don’t want to plan because I don’t want to say no to anything I might really WANT to eat/drink. I want to be able to enjoy myself.”

Can you relate? I can.

Believe me, when I say, I still struggle with this mentality.

Here is what happens in my head during parties/events/ vacations:

• “They brought your favorite bars that you never get to have. You better have one now.”
• “You won’t come back to this restaurant ever again, so order what you really want.”
• “These friends hardly ever come over, so why not just enjoy eating whatever they are eating.”
• “It will be a long time before you’re on vacation again, so just don’t worry about it.”

I’m going to just say...
