Some of the delicious meals I tried in Patagonia!
10 years ago I wouldâve been thinking almost SOLELY about the food Iâd be having on vacation. I tried fighting the urge to calorie count but often couldnât. It took so much away from going on vacation! Iâm so grateful to now choose what to eat based on what looks good, what will fuel my hikes or adventures, who Iâm with, and what I genuinely want - not the calorie number.
If you feel consumed by food thoughts on vacation, youâre not alone. And itâs one of many reasons why working on your relationship with food can be life-changing.
Pictured: a Chilean âcompletoâ (which I definitely plan to recreate at next summerâs barbecues), a lamb-and-veggie meal at a Patagonian ranch where I went horseback riding and milked a cow, plus a bunch of other foods I loved - some traditional, some not, and all chosen with freedom!
