Traveling for the holidays? Don't become a statistic. According to Self, 29% of people gain weight on vacation. To help you battle the bulge while you overindulge, here are a few stay-slim items to pack: 

  • A jump rope: Jumping rope burns 11 calories per minute. It's a tiny cardio machine in your bag!
     
  • A wrap: When you're cold, you body craves calorie-heavy comfort foods. Stay cozy and fight cravings with a cashmere wrap.
     
  • Water bottle and flavor makers: We tend to mistake thirst for hunger, so stay hydrated and make water exciting with different flavor packets.
     
  • Snacks: Plane food is usually gross and unhealthy. Pack nuts, snack bars and fruit.
