This was a great podcast, especially since I was on vacation over the Easter weekend. I agree that knowing I will be facing the scale is helping me get back on track.
I did well for most of the weekend until I gave myself permission to try 1 dessert from the table, well I didn’t stop at one, and I did feel miserable the rest of the night and Monday morning. I told myself “it was an event, it’s over move on.”
In prep for my next Vacation I decided my “mantra” will be “If i don’t start i won’t have to stop”.
I will also renew my mind each morning with the vacation questions.
Barb, i so appreciate your ministry it has been instrumental in helping me to lose 105 lbs. God bless as you on your new life journey.
So glad you found the podcast helpful, Mavis! I love your new mantra and the goal to renew each morning with the vacation questions! And wow, 105 pounds!!! That’s amazing! If you ever want to be a guest on the Taste for Truth Podcast let me know! You can email me through my blog. :) I’m also on vacation right now – I’m writing this at a small library in Virginia (or Tennessee?) where we stopped to do just a tad bit of work. We’ll be spending the night with some friends in Lynchburg, Virginia, then back to tent camping again for another week. Hope you have fun on your next vacation and also do well with your food! Thanks for writing!
