Well, I just got back from Dallas after spending a week with my Dad and Stepmom.  My daughters and I flew out there because my Dad's health is declining and he was in the hospital.  It was great to spend the time with my family....but my eating was out of control!!!

We ate out for most of our meals.....which included fried chicken, creamed corn, bread/muffins, hamburgers with mayo and buttered bread, food smothered in bbq sauce, and lots of ice cream.  There was no chance of eating light in Texas!!!  At least not with my parents.

My daughters and I tried to take daily walks to offset some of the food consumption.  I weighted myself this morning and I'm back up to 152.  And did I mention we took family photos while we were in Texas?  HOLY SHIT!  I got a good look at how big I actually am.  I've always been the petite one in the family....I'm just in shock.

On a thyroid note:  the first morning we woke up in Dallas I forgot to take my Synthroid.  The girls and I decided to walk down to the local bakery for coffee and breakfast, which was yummy!  But when we got back to my parent's house I started feeling really yucky.  My head felt heavy and I couldn't get my mind or body to function.  I sat in a depressed state for the next hour.  Then I remembered my meds....  It was crazy how fast my body wanted to shut down because I hadn't taken my meds.  It made me realize how much better I've been feeling lately!

Today is a new day and I will stay OP and lose those extra pounds I gained!!
