#125: How to Navigate Your Next Vacation With Food and Body Image: 4 Lessons I Recently Learned

In today’s episode, you’re going to learn 4 pieces of advice that will help you navigate your next trip or vacation when it comes to eating before, during and after traveling. We are also going to talk about how to deal with body image, your fear of being in photos, and those nagging thoughts about “needing” to lose weight before a vacation.    I’m going to share the lessons that I recently learned on my family spring break trip, and I’ve translated it into tips and strategies that you can apply for your next vacation.   These are 4 lessons that are going to help you:   Let go of feeling the pressure or desire to diet leading up to a trip. You don’t have to shrink your body in order to deserve a vacation.  Have strategies with food before, during and after you travel to make it easier on your digestive system, your wallet and your stress levels. Enjoy food as part of traveling, without it becoming a nonstop party with food that leaves you feeling bloated, miserable and out of control. Embrace the photos taken on vacation as images capturing memories of you out there living your life fully (rather than a reason for you to zoom in on pictures with you in them and pick yourself apart).    If you have been procrastinating on booking a trip, are too ashamed to be seen in a swimsuit, or you just need a reminder that you deserve to live life fully, then this is the episode for you.   And if you know someone who has a hard time with food and body image when they travel, send them this episode and let me give them the support and guidance they need.   Today’s Wellness Woo is ab workouts to allegedly cinch your waist and flatten your belly.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Sign up for the “What’s Weighing On You?” Masterclass Take my free 2-minute quiz to discover your path to food freedom   For full show notes, visit: katyharvey.net/podcast125   Connect with me on Instagram!
