Trying to avoid cruising to bandster hell on vacation.

So I'm going on a cruise with a group of people that I have not discussed my journey with. What and how do I eat without being outed? I'm feeling like I'm in my green zone right now but I know the environment will be challenging. I know it sounds silly but I do not want a pb or stuck episode to become the topic of conversation. I really just want to have a good time and enjoy my current success of 45lbs down. I'm hoping to be at the milestone of 50lbs by then so I don't want to remove any fluid. Am I over thinking?

Hey Millie...don't worry so much. Believe me, folks are way more interested in what they are eating rather than what you are eating. If anyone happens to notice the small portions and/or eating slow, just tell them you ate something earlier and you're not that hungry. Or since you've lost a significant amount of weight, you can just mention that you are watching your portion size...and then drop the topic. Your cruise buddies should get the hint.

Have a great time...don't sweat it if you gain a pound or two. Whenever I go on vacation, I gain a little. It always comes off once I'm home. I don't feel guilty, I eat healthy and if I indulge a little, as long as it's a little, no harm, no foul.

Have a great time...I'm cruising next month.

Most of those buffets are loaded with slider foods anyway.

It's funny how my worry went from "oh no I have to wear a swimsuit" to "oh no I have to eat".

I'm going to have this laugh then have a good time.

def overthinking.....if you do the best you can with food/drink choices,
