I know when I went on Holiday to Europe last year I was walking all day everyday, not hiking with a pack, just walking, touring, doing the tourist things. I was eating sensibly, avoiding the high cal chocolate bars for lunch and opting for an apple, nuts and milk for lunch. After 7 days I had to wash my jeans not cus they were dirty but because I had lost some weight and they'd just fall off if any rotten kid tugged on them. I was so glad I packed a belt that trip. What's a girl to do?
