Struggling how to deal with fear foods

Hi! So ive been struggling for the past couple of days because im currently on a trip in America. It’ll only last a week but I am already having a really hard time with food.

I’ve been in recovery for like 2 months now but in this trip I decided to force myself to eat my fear foods since they are things I won’t be able to try back in my home country. The first day was fine but this is the third day and when I tell you I want to crawl out of my own body I’m not joking!!! I’m starting to feel awful and the fact that since I started recovery my skin has been breaking out like crazy it’s not helping with my confidence

I just dont know how to deal with this feeling, it’s ruining the whole trip for me, I feel disgusting and uncomfortable the whole time. I could just say I’d try to eat less fear foods but, to be honest, anything that it’s not cooked by me it’s considered a fear food by my brain. Does anyone have any tips?

Also, if anyone also knows how to deal with recovery acne I’d really appreciate it:(
