[QUOTE="Munkki, post: 906355, member: 194901"] Thank you, AndBreathe. I understand it is important for me to find a new 'normal' and not be too rigid about food, especially when travelling, out with friends, etc. Judging from your signature, I believe you are doing very well. I believe on this trip the stress set in when I was unable to get money out of the cash machines in the middle of the night, after a little while without eating. Normally I take a small amount of the local currency with me when I travel, as I keep small amounts of them at home, but this time I did not have any. I guess, in sum, here were different circumstances coming together. Then the next morning it took me a little while before I left my hotel room, got that cash, walked to the recommended location and so on and so forth. Today I got a sandwich and crisps for lunch and I seem to have handled it well. Hence, yes, I try to relax about things, prefer to eat the food that is on offer, at least a bit, instead of starving myself. Still, I want to make that small effort to have regular healthy meals as well as my veggie intake. I have taken food with me on flights and other trips before and it is not more effort than packing my lunch box every morning. I buy small bags with mixed nuts when I am in Aldi and these are perfect for travelling. On top, I pack what I can find in the fridge, this time some raw veggies, into Ziploc bags and I am all set :cool: [/QUOTE]
