It's funny you should mention jerky. I had just put in a bulk grocery order through Boxed.com and included some plain and teriyaki beef jerky.

Not sure, probably try some that are safe to bring around your daughter before you go. Or maybe jerky?

What brand protein bars would you suggest? I'm going to have to refrain from the almonds and peanuts, unfortunately. My daughter is high allergic. So much so that the smell of either causes her throat to itch. Mind you, I love peanuts and almonds... :(

Hope you have an amazing trip!
When I went to see my son, I packed almonds, protein bars, peanuts and my protein powder. Drink lots of water too!
Stay protein first, that always fills me up! Made eating meals out so much easier! substitue veggies for fries or starchy sides.

dannypaul,
Thank goodness my tool still works after 7 years!
I really didnt lose restriction, but can graze on refined carbs without too many issues.
Was not eating protein first, not drinking enough water, and have a great fondness for salty crunchy crackers, pretzels or popcorn.
So my best advice during the honeymoon phase is to not re introduce refined carbs back into your diet.

Kudos to you for coming here and asking for help! First step of getting back on track!
Practice kindness to yourself! Beating myself up made me want to eat more. Just had to take a deep breath and start journaling my food intake and get rid of refined carbs. Not a breakfast eater but always have a protein drink in the morning. Will also do another one when i want to eat between meals or have a piece of dense protein.
We are only human. I too have been battling regain. Never quite made it to goal, got to 131 then up to 164. Down to 135 since June. I has surgery in July 2010. This really is a journey!
Have I been perfect, no way, but having more on track days then off days. Learning to love myself right where I am.
Best advice,
protein first
journal your food intake
get rid of white flour and sugar
get more steps into your day
Grateful my tool still works

Good morning, All!
So I'm finally looking forward to my trip home to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. Been 27 years since I have been back. But I'm also wanting to stay on task with losing the regain as much as possible. I was thinking about carrying my protein in Ziploc baggies and bringing them with me. Any other ideas on staying on track?
