Cruise to Mexico and Not Obsessed with Food!
Hi All,
Just got back from a four day cruise to Mexico. The food was AWESOME, and I didn't over indulge (because I can't and really didn't want to)...
I enjoyed the many dishes, (eating 5 small meals a day and making wise choices...nothing creamy, fried, starchy) NEVER finishing my meal, made sure to eat that protein first, and even had a couple of AMAZING sugar free desserts...
Did a lot of walking around the ship, and climbing stairs...
Ended up losing three pounds!
What I did notice tho, is that people REALLY overeat...because they can, and because the food is there constantly.
Quite an eye-opening experience now that I'm no longer one of those overeaters...
First of all, don't panic! You'll be fine! Actually, I didn't pack any extra food. Trust me, there are PLENTY of things you can eat: Grilled chicken, seafood, veggies, fruit. Try to eat in the dining rooms, because the portions are better controlled (they were on Princess Cruises, anyway...I was pleasantly surprised at the portions). If you do eat at the buffet, look for protein dishes, veggies, fruit...
By the time your cruise comes around, you'll be a pro at making the right choices...Also, I drank nothing bu****er. Of course, stay away from alcohol, soda. And don't feel bad to indulge in an occasional sugar free dessert...just don't eat the whole thing...that worked for me!
And take advantage of walking on the ship and depending where you are on the ship, using the stairs! A great workout!
if you deny yourself, you will most definitely obsess!
