I never used to pay much attention to what I ate on vacation, but too much indulging always left me returning from my time away a few pounds heavier and unhappy with myself. Now when I splurge on vacation, I make sure it's worth it. For instance, I'll pass on a blueberry muffin from the hotel's continental breakfast, but I'll splurge on a pastry from a local bakery later in the day. Instead of just regular fare that doesn't mean much, I carefully pick my splurges, so they include some lasting memories from my vacation and, of course, so I can fully enjoy them without guilt!<\/p>\n
I don't like restricting myself when I'm on vacation, especially when it comes to food and drink. But, at the same time, I don't want to go overboard either. I usually want to taste just about everything that comes my way, so I pay attention to my portion sizes<\/a> and think small. On our recent vacation to Oahu, my husband and I dined at a Japanese restaurant where we ordered a bunch appetizers and sushi rolls, which was a great way to taste a number of different dishes, but avoid the inflated portion sizes. Plus, by ordering a bunch of small plates, it adjusted my image of how much I was eating, so I didn't overindulge.<\/p>\n\n
