I knew they did, but convinced myself that it wasn’t going to be that bad it was only 9 days of vacation. How in the world could I put on 9 lbs.? I hope some is water, but I know I also ate whatever I wanted and drank whatever I wanted. I know I could have made good choices, but I kept telling myself I am on vacation!

For the most part, I had a great time in Virginia on vacation! We went to visit my youngest sister and her partner and my niece and nephew. Bad thing half way through our visit, my sister got a phone call her ex-mother in law who lived here in NY passed away. She was only 56 yrs. old. She was a very overweight and unhealthy person. She was over 400 lbs. at about 5 feet tall. She had been in the hopspital for quite awhile with many health issues. They were on the way into surgery for a procedure she needed and she went into cardiac arrest and they could not save her! My neice and nephew were devasted at the loss of their grandmother and left to come to NY with their dad for the funeral. This is a wake up call for me! I am 49 years old do I want this to happen to me? But it was not enough of a wake up call that I began watching what I was eating the rest of vacation!!

I actually did not get back on my scales until today and I almost flipped!! No wonder my clothes feel tight!! I am not going back there!! I am back with a vengance and I really mean it this time!! I need all my buddies to kick my butt, big time!!

HUGS!
