I've got a cold and all I want to do is eat!
This week I am on vacation and am finding it more difficult to stick with my regular eating schedule. Plus, I am home more so am tempted to eat more frequently and indulge in higher calorie foods. Any suggestions on how to keep control when one is on vacation?
Also, I have not been able to increase my exercise this week as I got a wicked cold so I'm feeling frustrated by that as well.

Yes, being home can be
Yes, being home can be tough... at to that a cold and suddenly we are seeking relief, comfort and soothing.
This is especially hard when we are home. The hard thing is, we don't feel well enough to do much.... but eat.
This is a real chance to practice finding new soothing behaviors. We often use these circumstances as a reason to abandon the plan and then try to get back 'on' when we feel better. But.. this is the exact time that we need to dig in our heels and try new approaches. Make a list of 10 ways to be good to yourself and each time you feel the urge to eat... try one of the items on the list instead.
Also, have a glass of cold water / lemon water or diet beverage and/or tea on hand to satisfy and sooth the physical senses of indulging.
