My job sometimes send me out to rural locations for work for several days at a time. 12-14 hour works day are common. Usually the eating options are minimal: fast food, convenience store, no options for cooking, you are lucky if the hotel has an in-room microwave, and co-workers and/or managers of the site I work at expect to eat out together. It's so difficult to keep to your guns on calories totals, both out of peer pressure, embarrassment from needing to diet when everyone else is wolfing down huge meals and being rail thin, and lck of alternatives. I mean, I know when I get home, I'll go back to my normal routine, but I feel like it's just setting me back in my goals. I know I should just accept it and do the best I can, choosing the healthiest options I can and leaving it at that... it's a marathon, not a sprint, etc... but I just wanted to complain a little.
