Enjoy Spring Break Without Gaining a Pound
Reaching your goals doesn’t have to mean passing on poolside cocktails.
Spring Break is practically synonymous with excess. You drink too much, eat the wrong foods, party all night and get little to no sleep. None of which is helpful in trying to keep weight off — let alone lose a few pounds.
“It’s easy to slip into that carefree, vacation mentality of eating and drinking what everyone else is,” says Dana M., a 28-year-old New York-based WW Member. And you can do that, she says — up to a point. “Two days of splurging might be no big deal, but a week or two can definitely do some damage.”
The key to staying in control during a week-long vacation that’s bound to be out of control? “Remind yourself of the progress you’ve made up to this point,” she says. In fact, the more you think about how far you’ve come, the less likely you’ll be to slip up on spring break.
