Motivation
My reply to you, and I know that many will disagree with me, is to just eat normally until your vacation is over. Have a good time. Relax. You should not force yourself to adhere to this diet while on vacation if you have been off it for a while. Try to get a little more exercise than usual while on vacation, and then when you come back, begin Dr. Atkins's induction diet. Go hard-core low carb, complete with supplements and psyllium husk fiber. Hopefully, the break from the vacation will give you the motivation you need. I say this because I first started this diet almost two years ago after a week in Barbados (in December), and I never would have made it through Christmas on this diet if I hadn't just returned from vacation. After that, I stayed on it for months and lost over 30 lbs. And recently, after having been off the diet for about 6 months, I went on vacation, and was better able to get back on the diet afterwards than I would have before. Also, vacations are especially frustrating for dieting because your menu choices are often very limited. Give yourself these next two weeks, then take the plunge. Then you'll have what you need to stick to it.
