Cyndi, you are SO right about how we have to live in and around fun things that may contain FOOD....and we can't just avoid things. I think this all hit me, b/c I really hadn't given serious thought (partly because it's still so far away) to the REALITY of managing my diet on such a long cruise. I think part of me feels that a lot of the huge expense of this trip is for the food/wine included thing, and I hate to think of being on such a luxurious vacation and then having to deprive myself. In a way, I'm GLAD you got me thinking about the reality of this---it gives me lots of time to physically, mentally and emotionally prepare and have ways of taking care of myself in the midst of the whole thing. And yes, I PLAN to get lots of advice from Marcie and Tom!!!!
Kathy, I'm glad it looks like there will be options to eat healthy and light. I was thinking (see, this is the value of dealing with the issue ahead of time) that maybe I could be careful during the week and then splurge and "pig out" on the weekends....that way, I won't feel totally deprived.
All of us in this group know how hard dieting is, even when, as you say, Cyndi, it sometimes actually becomes something we like and enjoy. I just don't want to be set back and have to start over. I'm glad I got this heads up about it, b/c it does give me lots of time for a plan of attack....
