Diets that fall apart whenever I travel abroad, how to break free from the cycle of binge eating while on vacation T_T
In my daily life, I usually manage my diet quite well and have a strong will to lose weight, so I tend to resist delicious food pretty well. However, strangely enough, whenever I travel abroad, my diet always completely falls apart when I return...
When I travel abroad, there are so many new foods and local specialties right in front of me, and perhaps because I have a strong thought that 'if not now, when in my life will I ever get to eat this again,' I just lose my grip on reason.
The biggest problem is that even when I'm not hungry at all, I unconsciously keep picking at food like a machine whenever I see it in front of me. My mouth keeps moving even when I feel like my stomach is going to burst, and in the end, I end up repeating binge eating throughout the trip without ever feeling a proper sense of hunger.
Every time I look at the numbers on the scale after returning from a trip, I feel so frustrated. It is upsetting and disheartening because it feels like all the hard work and sweat I put into losing weight in Korea has crumbled in an instant.
How on earth can I fix this mindset or habit of constantly snacking whenever I travel, even when I'm not hungry? Is there anyone out there who, like me, used to binge eat whenever they went abroad but managed to overcome it with their own tips?
If you have any realistic know-how or advice on managing cravings while traveling, please share even the smallest thing. I'm so frustrated!

- 01CommentsI found one-food diets hard to stick to because I got bored of them quickly. Try switching to a healthy and diverse diet. A balanced mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fat, with plenty of vegetables.210026.10.26
- 02CommentsDuring a plateau, your body has adapted to your current weight, so making small changes is effective. In your diet, try changing the types of carbohydrates or slightly increasing your protein intake, and try increasing your water intake to over 2 liters. For exercise, I recommend adding high-intensity interval running or new strength training movements to your existing routine to stimulate your body. Don't be too impatient; maintain a steady pace and I hope you successfully break free from this plateau!131126.10.26
- 03CommentsThere are times when you feel that way while working out hard. So, I found that taking a break occasionally was actually more helpful.201026.10.25
- 01CommentsWhen I eat out, rather than simply trying to eat less, I try to choose menu items that include protein and vegetables first. I find that just slightly adjusting the sauces or drinks makes it less burdensome. I think maintaining my usual eating habits, rather than restricting myself too much, is a good way to stick to it in the long run.596326.10.21
- 02CommentsIf you have joint problems, rather than pushing yourself to walk or run, it would be good to start with exercises that place less strain on the joints, such as swimming or aqua aerobics. It is also fine to start with an indoor bicycle lightly within a pain-free range. Since diet management is also important for weight loss, avoid increasing the intensity of your workouts too much and try to find a way to exercise consistently. If the pain persists, it is advisable to identify the cause first.703026.10.17
- 03CommentsDuring a plateau, I think I would double-check my diet and exercise routine. Sometimes, weight loss goes well at first, but activity levels subtly decrease. It would be a good idea to weigh yourself weekly, and if there is no change for two or three weeks, try adjusting your snacks or workout routine little by little. I've found that making changes that you can maintain in the long run is more important than starving yourself!582026.10.20
- 01CommentsBelly fat is a really stubborn area that is difficult to lose, so it is a concern for many people. You can manage it more effectively by combining abdominal exercises with dietary control. Rather than trying to lose weight quickly, try consistently controlling your dinner diet and doing light cardio exercises. I hope you stay strong and look forward to seeing gradual changes!6594226.10.14
- 02CommentsI recommend consuming a small amount of 100% freeze-dried products made from natural ingredients without added seasonings, rather than commercially available seasoned products. Since seasonings contain high levels of sugar and sodium that can stimulate appetite, chewing slowly and in small portions of additive-free products will be very helpful in satisfying your craving for texture.1684126.10.10
- 03CommentsIt’s not easy for me to check every single ingredient list when choosing things, so I tend to buy the ones I eat often. If I had to check everything while selecting, grocery shopping would be a hassle.2844226.10.14
