With everbody going on vacation I thought of penning down this piece. I guess people like me take vacations quite serioulsy. As we embark on vacation , we tend to send all the pressure inducing things on holidays. Pressure inducing things like office work, dieting and ofcourse conscious eating. Just like we have term called Comfort eating which I will discuss some other time, we should also coin one more term - "Vacation eating". For us vacation time is the time of indulgence. We get in auto pilot mode and devour whatever we get offered or whatever pleases our eyes.
Things become worse if you happen to be taking vacation where your umpteen relatives are staying. You can't say no to the food you are offerend number of times at number of relatives' houses you visit. There are three reasons for not refusing - one is that you just don't care as you have sent all your diet plans on vacations . Secondly you do not want to be rude to people who have prepared food with so such an effort.Third and final is your own greed :). Only a crazy person would say no to the food which stimulates your taste buds.
The word guilty which never shows it's presence during holidays just emerges miraculously once they are over! Even if you deny the verdict given by your mirror but that benchmark dress which you have hidden in one of the corners of your wardrobe would just refuse to fit you.After a days of denial , finally the bitter truth that along with many free deals during holiday there is one more freebie got which we had not asked for but did quite religiously work for(through ruthless eating). The measure of freebie is not the dollars saved but the pounds gained !
Now that the truth you have gained pounds as well as courage to accept that, people like us do our annual duty of going to gym for renewing our memberships. We are the most profitable customers for gym owners because we pay but we are so sensitive to their equipment that we use them seldom to save them from deprciation ! All the gym owners, if you see less depriciation in your balance sheets , you guys should come personally to us and say a big thanks .
Yes you have guessed it right , I am going tomorrow to renew my membership ;). Anyone in this league ....do let me know. It will give me some respite that I am not the only one :)
