I thought I would share my experience of gaining weight on holiday in case it reassures others. In brief I had lost 58 lbs over 18 weeks on CD and was due to go on a luxury cruise reknowned for its food. I was worried that if it would spoil the holiday if I avoided the food (and drink) on offer, but that I would hate to see the weight increase when I had worked so hard to take it off.
I decided based on reassurance from my CDC to eat what I wanted whilst on the cruise and then go straight back on the plan. I also made sure I swam whenever the weather permitted, and walked round the prom deck. When I came back I had put 4lbs on, so I went straight onto SS. I have been on it for 4 days now, have lost all the 4lbs, and have just got back into ketosis.
When I think of all the heart searching I did before agreeing to go on the cruise, it made me want to let others know that an off plan holiday does not cause as much damage as we may expect.
