OMG! I am going to be enormous!

I can literally gain like 4 pounds in a weekend if I eat whatever I want...and that is no where near the sort of food on a cruise...lol. I think I could possibly gain 10 pounds on my 4 nighter! Will I be breaking a record???

Well, it's possible. Unless you're like me. I'm more active on a cruise than I am normally at home, (sad, I know ), so I haven't gained weight on the cruise yet.

I just returned from the 7 day Magic. I gained 3 pounds but I have already lost it. I was more active than usual and I took the stairs whenever I could. At dinner, I tried everything but I didn't always finish it. I made a point to really determine whether I was hungry or just wanted to eat. I even had two deserts one night.

Enjoy yourself, like they kept saying on the ship, "It's only 7 days."

Enjoy!

Unfortunately I think I am a record holder for weight gain. I'm also one of those people who's weight flucuates between 2 and 5 lbs a day. I even bring my scale with me whenever I'm away over night (it's really difficult getting an accurate weight on a rocking ship!). I went on the ship a size 8 and came off the ship a size 12 having gained 12lbs during the week (and that was what I weighed two days after returning and after spending a full day in bed not eating with a bad stomach virus).

We were active, I'm not a big dessert eater, tasted more than ate my meals and I really didn't pick between meals with my only real indulgence being tomato soup from room service at night. I tasted everything I wanted and had a great week trying not to obsess. For a week I wasn't hungry and worrying about calories, the weight will come off after the cruise. It was worth the extra work it took to get the weight off to let go and enjoy such a wonderful week.
