going on vacation
I am going on vacation towards the end of August. We're going on a cruise with friends. I hate to admit it, but I am so upset about going because i have gained so much weight. All of my friends have great bodies and I feel like I'm going to be so insecure. It'll be so hot, I can't get away with not wearing a bathing suit. I can't find motivation and I'm so depressed about it. WHy is it so hard to do something that you want so bad! I get so frustrated with myself. Anyone ever feel like this?

Re: going on vacation
I think we all feel like this at som point. Either try to lose some weight so you feel more confident or go shopping for some cruise clothes that you can wear that will make you feel more comfortable - lots of coverups, etc.
Good luck - just remember to have a great time whatever you do...it's vacation and you are your worst critic!!!!

Re: going on vacation
Thanks! Yea, I'm going to try to do both. I'm going to try to reduce my carbs (I could never give them up ) and walk everyday. I'll also start my pilates tapes again. Hopefully I'll lose some weight and tighten up a bit by then. I'll wait to go shopping the week before. Hope it works!

Re: going on vacation
Don't worry! You still have plenty of time! That's like two months away! You can lose a lot of weight by then

I agree. Try to do the atkins diet. Follow it to the T and you should lose some weight. Good luck!!!!
Also combine the atkins diet with a workout program and you will definitely see some result.

Re: going on vacation
I feel like I am perpetually in the same boat -- I am basically at the point of bribing myself to do the things I need to do.
You can get a lot done in 2 months -- good luck!!

Re: going on vacation
If you need motivation, put a picture of your cruise ship on your fridge along w/ a thin person next to it---I bet you lose most of your weight by end of August!

I cut back- not cut out carbs and sugar-
I also work out- I lost about 5 lbs so far- you can do it- you have plenty of time

Re: going on vacation
Thank you everyone, it really helps to see others in the same boat, or those who are having success! Well, its been a few days now, I'm definitely making better choices, and have been walking 30-60 minutes a day. I already feel a little better. Now I just have to keep it going, hopefully it will just get easier and easier.
