Do You Overindulge on Holidays?

by 7

The Fourth of July is filled with so much barbecue goodness. It's hard to resist overindulging on all the homemade hamburgers, BBQ ribs, and creamy potato salad. I definitely overate this weekend, but I'm OK with it, since it was a holiday. I won't let a little splurging throw me off track completely. What about you? Are holidays a reason to eat whatever you want, or is it just another day of healthy eating for you?

My husband and I just got back from Hawaii a few weeks ago. I have been very strict about eating one high calorie food a week and watching what i eat all week adding serious body movement. But i have to tell you that all went out the window on our vacation. I ate all the maccademia chocolate and caramel i could find! it was insane, and ate out everyday not counting a single calorie. We moved A LOT so it helped me not gain a pound but oh was it worth it. Now of course were back to portion control and lots of work outs

it depends on where i'm vacationing - when in spain or italy, i find it easier to eat more healthily, even if i eat more than usual; when in england, even if i eat less, the food there is so stodgy and you have to plan to eat healthily, so even if i don't overindulge, i still have to watch out what i eat

Nope. I do cut back on my workouts a bit, but I tend to stay on track with my eating.

Depends on the holiday. There are only three that I overeat a bit on because they are the only three that we go see family for.

No, but I did have a sirloin burger that gave me indigestion. I think perhaps the seasonings disagreed with me.

unfortunately yes I'm always making the yummiest things and so is my family and in-laws!
