Typically, I feel very trusting of my body. I know I can count on her to manage my weight and I don't need to be a control freak about it (this has taken lots of work on that trust muscle!)
But being out of my food/exercise routine for 17 days in Bali was definitely a challenge.

(**There's that old food control freak coming out!)
