Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 So I'm here in Florida, my last day before I go home and after my lunch at Chili's that consisted of a black bean veggie burger, fries, and a dessert that I split with my fiance, I got to thinking that I have not been eating intuitively this entire trip. I have most likely gained weight, as my pants feel uncomfortably tight. I have not stopped when I felt mildly full, I have not passed up yummy ice cream or said no to candy that I cannot get at home. I did not make the healthiest/best choices that I could have made. I did not leave the cheese off of my veggie burger to save calories. I did not choose the crystal light slurpee rather than the coca cola one (and I did not choose the smallest size either...it was really hot outside!) What I DID do was go to Disney World (both animal kingdom and magic kingdom). I allowed myself to have macaroni and cheese and cheesecake! We ordered breakfast to be delivered to our room and I put butter and honey on my toast. I went to the zoo where I got to see animals I've never seen before (our zoo in Colorado is small) and Jungle Island where I saw a liger (which I didn't even know existed before I made plans to come here) and got to hold a baby tiger! I walked along the ocean line (not my first time as I'm from California, but this is a different ocean!) I got to see so many malls and fancy shopping areas. I got to go to another beach area and go inside of a light house and climb all the way to the top! I got to spend so much time with my fiance...we even baked together! The best thing I did while I was here? I enjoyed myself. Sure, I had a few minor breakdowns but being in a place where I couldn't run and hide or numb myself with food forced me to deal with my emotions and cry it out. I felt so much better doing that than I do when I eat my way to numbness. But overall, even though I didn't follow any rules (probably even rebelled against a few lol) I had a wonderful (and yummy!) time. So my belly may be a bit bigger, the food was great and I am coming to realize that love and amazing company is so much more important than any number on a scale or clothing tag will ever be.
