+++Hi Genevieve. Welcome home! If I were you I wouldn't get rid of

your supplements. I'm sure they are okay. If you are worried buy

duplicates and alternate taking them.

+++That's wonderful about your weight. Well done!

Luv & Hugs, Bee

Thanks Bee!

It seems like all of our supplements/foods end up getting zapped on

some level. I'd imagine our coconut oil has to go through customs and

whether it comes via the air or by sea, I'm sure they scan for danger

threats? Geez! Sometimes the government makes it hard to eat clean,

unadulterated foods!

Hi Genevieve,

Welcome home! It must feel so good to be back and in control of your

diet again. What on earth did you eat while you were traveling? My

husband wants to take a vacation in the summer and while I would like

to go, I'm dreading it because I am afraid I won't find anything to

eat that is on the diet and I will undo all of my hard work.

That's one of the things that is frustrating about being on this diet

is that I feel tied to my kitchen. It's hard to go out for the day

without packing some food. One time we were at a nice parade

downtown and we wanted to stay and explore the city but we had to

leave because we hadn't planned on it and I had nothing to eat.

What do you or any others do in this situation?

This can be really hard!  I almost always pack something- even if I think I wont

need it: toss a hard boiled egg into my bag along with some water.  I keep tea

bags in my purse as well as a few stevia packets (a good cup of tea can often

hold off the hunger as well as give me a 'treat').  I spent many weekends at

home while my family went off to do fun things- but now I am better about

planning.  I usually bring a small container of salad dressing and can usually

find a place to serve me a salad- sometimes with grilled chicken. 

We have been planning on going to an amusement park but I thought i couldn't due

to the fact that they dont allow food (and it's an all day outing).  I called

though and explained my " allergies " and they are allowing me to bring my own

food in- yay!

I am still scared to make plans for a  vacation though.  I can handle the short

outings with an occasional restaurant meal, but am scared of having to deal with

it for a week (or even a full weekend!).

+++Hi . Like Sara said, it is always wise to be prepared. Even

I go prepared with butter, salad dressing, sea salt and supplements

whenever I go out.

, may I please request that you " trim your messages? "

Instructions were emailed to you when you joined, and they are also

posted in the Group's Message every 2 weeks; I think there was one

posted this week. You can search the Messages for them.

Thanks so much,

Bee

====Hi Bee. I usually brings eggs and my supplements when I go out but

the salad dressing, butter, and sea salt are something I should carry

too. Thanks for the tip!

think this was the first time I didn't. I think I was just being

overzealous in responding to the post and I actually realized that I

forgot to trim as I pressed the send button but by then it was too

late. I'll try not to let it happen again.
