Have you ever noticed that when you go on vacation and let loose (which for me means to eat, eat, and eat more than I ever would at home) and you are consuming large portions of food that when you get back home you still seem to eat more and it takes quite a bit to fill you up and make you feel satisfied (Wow that was a long run on sentence if there ever was one)? Recently when I was on vacation in Costa Rica I could not stop eating and I loved it (my friend even commented that she had never seen me eat so much in her life!) but when I returned home to try to settle back into my normal routine I still wanted to eat lots and lots in order to feel full. I knew that I had to get my stomach and eating habits back to a happy medium.
I found the trick to shrinking your stomach hence helping your weight loss and maintenance efforts in my new favorite book called Nature's Prescriptions. I like this idea because it is free, not too tough and really does work (I do gripe and groan for the first couple days but then it kicks in and you will be feeling much better). The key (drum roll please) is to stick to a regular meal plan-typically one that focuses on eating smaller meals more frequently.
Just remember that because you eat more meals doesn't mean you get more calories. You are simply dividing them more evenly throughout the day so you are less likely to get hungry and overeat. You want to avoid large meals and stuffing yourself because you will undo all your good work and increase your stomach size again. Generally, this takes me a couple days to get back in the habit of eating several small meals. I am a big supporter of the several small meals a day as it keeps your stomach at a good size and your metabolism going and revved up throughout the day.

It's hard to resist the temptation of yummy food but I have to try one. Your slim waist is my motivation. :)
I wonder if this works with my cat Sammy too...

Absolutely. The Queen and I just took a short vacation and we experienced just the thing you're talking about - stretched stomach. We are determined to get back on our scheduled meals and routine. Nice post.
Happy trails.
Like you I also tend to pig it out during vacation or holidays (I can eat a lot if I want to! People will be shocked when they see me do that!) so it's a little tough to get back on track when I return from the holidays! : )
just stopping by again to let you know I have passed an award on to you! Please visit my blog for details whenever you have time!
Happy blogging,

You do practice what you preach, which is wonderful. And it shows, too.
Your toned, flat abs look terrific in the picture. You shouldn't have included your face in the picture. You look awesome.
Thanks for making us young women (hehe) encouraged to go for that flat tummy.

A person needs a disciplined, structued life that is also balanced. I am talking about 7-8 hours of relular sleeping time each night. A regular exercise routine 35-40 minutes a day, every other day. A set amount of time with family ech day. Lastly, doing a routine like yoga on those days that you aren't exercising.
Doing these thing consistently will help you live a beter, successful life. Imagine if everyone in the nation did this, then we will definitely have the healthcare reform that we been wanting for a long time.
