Back from vacation!

I spent a wonderful 10 days in Arizona... it was so nice to take a vacation as a "normal" person... the plane was comfortable... it was a hot 110-117 during the whole trip but it didnt effect me as much as it would have with the extra weight on... I spent most of my time in my bathing suit and it was nice to not feel embarassed about it.... I even *gasp* let pictures be taken of me in my bathing suit!  There was no working scale on my trip and I when I weighed myself this morning I gained 5lbs... vacations are definately a killer.... we spent a lot of time in the car which for me meant eating lots of carbs (snacks)... thankfully my Aunt (whom I stayed with) eats healthy so I had lots of salad and lean meats... just the damn snacks must have killed me! She has 3 teenagers and her house is stocked with enough food to feed an army... it was hard to control myself with all that food around.. just kept eating and eating... definately still struggling with *head hunger* at home I have more control because I just keep the junk out of the house.  I also drank about a zillion gallons of water while there so I am hoping the scale will drop back down after a few days home! My brother said his pants were getting tight by the end of the trip as well... he said he hated how quickly he was able to gain weight - the same issue I suffer from.. even thou my brother isnt a big boy he struggles with his eating like I do.. always having to watch what he eats or he will quickly gain weight.... to me that demonstrates how obesity is also related to your family genes... we get it from my mother - thanks mom! 

Glad you are safely home. Hope you had a great vacation. Don't sweat the 5 lbs you will get it off quickly. Change of your normal habits can be killer ....but your back and you will fall back in. I always need a vacation to rest from my vacation!!! Welcome home Myrtis

Sounds like you had a good time ~ other than the 5 lb gain that is!!    I'm sure you will get that back off in no time!  Vacations are good except you usually feel like you need a vacation to recover from vacation!!   Glad to hear that you had a great time!

I bet it was nice to travel... I am sure it was much more comfortable.  Glad you had a good time. 

Gosh - eating on vacation is alot of the fun, isn't it? Going out to new places, home cooked foods that you don't have to cook. LOL It's so easy just to dive in and enjoy.  But luckily you are home where you can be more conscious of what you put on your plate.You'll lose that 5 lbs in no time. Mare

Glad you had a great trip.  I remember going to Vegas in July so I can definitely relate to the heat, it just SMACKS you in the face.  Again thanks for your help!!

 

Don't sweat it.  Glad you had a fantastic vacay.  I did the same thing - all water weight gain.  It'll be off in no time and you'll have your wonderful memories!!!
