back from Disney and suffering

[Guest guest]

We

returned from our week at Disney 2 days ago. 

I am still recovering!  It was

between 95-100 degrees every single day and, of course, we did 8am to 9pm every

day, with stops for lunch and dinner. 

Almost every day I stopped for an hour in the afternoon in some

air-conditioned place to rest and try to cool off.  Upon returning home, I discovered that my

feet and ankles were so swollen a pin prick would explode them. 

Also

upon return I found that I was up 1.4# (yes, I weighed myself). Unbelievable

after all of the walking that we did. 

And I felt that I did quite well paying attention to my hunger and

eating.  Because of my weight, I think

that I suffered more from the heat than others. 

And upon returning home, I am convinced that if I don’t lose weight, I

am going to die much sooner than I should. That

said, I cannot diet still.  And I am

proud of the fact that I am not willing to diet.  I am hoping that my discovery that I my weight is going to kill me will influence my night-time eating, that I am still struggling with.  I am 50-60 pounds heavier than I “should”

be.  That is very discouraging to me, but

I absolutely know that dieting has gotten me to this point.

Saying

all this, we had a wonderful, magical time at Disney.  We went with my daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren,

ages 6 and 8.   It was the first time at

Disney for all of us.  And while I have

no desire to go back there, I am going to Universal for a long Labor Day

weekend with my daughter, daughter-in-law and 8 year old grandson to do Harry

Potter.  I am sure it will still be as

hot, so I hope that I am in a little bit better shape!
