I had been stuck in a bad rut all year with regards to food. I started obsessing over it a lot in unhealthy ways and it impacted me daily (weighing myself multiple times a day, feeling disgust over myself if I ate a bad meal, or binge eating on snacks).
I had planned a holiday trip for 10 days. I was worried I would gain weight after my trip. I ate lots of "bad" food (stir fry noodles, burgers, gelato as examples). I still felt pangs of guilt any time I indulged, but I tried to just let myself enjoy it. I also had not been exercising for weeks due to an annular tear in my spinal disc. I was certain I would gain weight, but I got home and I weighed less than when I started!
It really goes to show that my bad mindset and obsession with food and the number on my scale is really just that... A bad mindset.
I also watched a documentary about food on Netflix during my stay (In Defense of Food), and I really liked the one quote that was used near the end: Everything in moderation, including moderation.
I really feel a lot better now knowing that almost 2 weeks of what I consider bad eating, really had no effect in my weight at all. Before my trip I was at 64.9kg, after my trip I was at 64.8kg. I think this holiday has really helped me in better understanding my body and that even if I indulge in a treat, that the world won't be over. I know it's such an obvious thing to say, but my thick skull didn't believe it until I had this holiday.
