It seem that a lot of us bandsters get the "tights" (as our beloved Tina calls it) when we travel. Alas, I am not one of those. In fact, I am quite the opposite as I seem to be able to consume vast quantities of food whenever I am traveling. A few examples from our recent trip:
- Pizza with crust? Yep.
- An entire sleeve of Nutter Butters? No problem.
- 3-course dinner, including dessert? But, of course.
- All of these in the same day? You bet.
However, I also have noticed a trend of my band completely shutting down within a week of returning home. Two bites of oatmeal this morning went down just fine. Then I was burping and squirming and panting trying to get the rest of it down. I finally gave up. Same with the leftover braised-beef stew I just tried to eat for lunch (it was very moist even re-heated).
I was surprised to realize that I actually was not hungry anymore after just the two bites. And, the two bites of oatmeal this morning did hold me for a little over 3 hours. So, it's not that I think that I'm "too" tight, just that I'm WAAAAY tighter than I was just 3 days ago (and, it not OTR related).
A similar thing happened shortly after returning from Chicago, so I'm thinking it might be a pattern. We'll be having a long weekend in Austin in December--I'm curious to see if the "tights" hit me again when I get home.
Anybody else get loose when they travel? (and, I mean your band, not your morals)

There is no rhyme or reason of why or when I am tight. NONE. Really tight today and yesterday...2 days ago I could eat everything.
Same here on the randomness of my "tights" --- although I have noticed that I loosen up with continued pushing of my limits (as tends to happen when traveling). I totally get loose when I travel---band and morals *teehee*
Yep. I was super loose in Boston last week, and despite walking miles and miles and miles, I gained. I'm still loose though. I ate a 6 oz. steak and a bunch of asparagus for dinner and was hungry 2 hours later. Crazy. Not sure if I need a fill or not. It's about to be TOM and I usually tighten up then, so we'll see.
