VACATION

[tvan614]

Ok so my family and I leave for a week vacation with extended family tomorrow. To say the very least, I am extremely terrified. I am supposed to be following a meal plan for anorexia with 3 meals and 3 snacks, but I really want to try and eat intuitively as I have been willingly eating meals and snacks. I just really want to listen to my body for once. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I just want to enjoy my vacation and NOT have to worry about getting 3 meals and snacks in every day. Any advice?

Maybe you could start off trying to listen to your body and then if you look back after a day or two and see that you (honestly) have eaten the equivalent of 3 meals, 3 snacks, then it might be worth continuing with the intuitive eating?

Are you under a treatment team for you anorexia and what was their advice?

I hope you enjoy your vacation!

to be honest.... vacations come with their own stresses and upsets of routine. My personal view is that trying to eat intuitively is probably best left until you are home with a familiar structure to fall back on. It IS possible to enjoy your vacation whilst on a meal plan.
