Sad to be going on vacation (vent and whine)

MauiBride2008

I know it sounds silly to be saying that, especially since we are going back to Maui...for free!  But I had all these hopes that I was going to lose 10% of my body weight by the time we went and I'm still the same size from when we went in October.  It makes me so sad and I already feel so uncomfortable in all these summer clothes I just bought.  And to top it off, I'm still scared to fly there   ACK!

Vent and whine over.

OK, first: I hate you.

Second: totally kidding! And I can understand about being disappointed in how you feel (for me, body image is more of an emotional thing - I feel less confident and happy when I feel uncomfy and overweight).

I know it sounds trite, but I'm sure you'll have a good time anyway! Just drink lots of Lava Flows...rum will definitely help.

I am sure you look gorgeous and won't be fretting over any of this once your feet are in the warm Maui sand.  I wish I was going!  Have a great time and enjoy yourself!

I know exactly how you feel but... don't let that get you down, push it to the side and just have fun.  You will regret looking back on this vacation if you are dwelling on weight/worrying about what to eat, etc.  Just enjoy yourself, soak it all in and say hello to Hawaii for us  Btw, you are beautiful and have done very well, if you are the same weight, at least you've maintained and not gained.

i know that you feel self conscious but trust me, you are still beautiful and look great

plus there are always women on the beach that shouldn't be in bikinis that people are paying more attention to and you are definitely not one of them!

Amen to all of the above posts!  I know it's frustrating to not be where you want to be physically.  Enjoy yourself - life was meant to be lived.  When you get home, just jump back on the wagon.  Have fun!

Thank you ladies for all your kind words and support.  I know I really shouldn't be feeling this way, especially knowing this will be the last time we go to Maui for a while.  I know I should be enjoying this special time and need to be changing my mindset here...it's Maui for goodness sake!!!!

Thank you ladies, your kind words are just the boost of spirt that I needed

Awww, thanks Lori!  10% really was a high goal for such short of time, not sure what I was thinking there   Thank you for your positive words of encouragement :)

I felt that way when we went to Hawaii so I know how you feel.  (We just got back 2 weeks ago.)  Once I got there though and started to get a bit of color in my skin, I felt a bit better.

Just remember to relax and have a great time!  Hawaii is always wonderful.  I am totally jealous.
