I know this wont get posted in time to help me out. But we are going on vacation for 4 days with some family from Germany (BF’s father, brother and brothers long term GF). My BF is really good about making sure I eat my scheduled 5:30 dinner. But last night he told me that was not going to happen on this road trip. 'It will still be light out at that time and we will be out and about doing things. Maybe 6:00 but I am not sure’. Even if we go to eat at 6:00 by the time you sit down order your food and get it it will be closer to 7:00. In the past I know this would have bothered me not eating at the same time as other people and having to eat food I brought instead of restaurant food. I love restaurant food. But I love it when I can eat it on my own schedule. Now I am dealing with four other peoples' schedules. The funny thing about this is that I am not upset I am actually excited to bring and eat my own food. I know that it will make me feel a whole lot better. Maybe I am more excited about the having it all planned out part even with some back up plans in there as well. (not bad for only an hours worth of effort)

So this is my plan. I am going to bring my food with me, all three meals. That way I can have it to eat when it is my schduled time to eat. I will eat with them when they are eating as well if I am wanting more food. More food is a good thing for me. I feel much more centered when I eat more food that I normally do (I don’t usually eat much). I wanted to share my list here with you all, to see what you think
