When I moved back to Michigan, I got my weight down to 172. However, it's been creeping up and down for the last 4 years. It really started going up when Trump was going to run for President. I am a stress eater. It went up to 184-7 and when Murray was sick and then passed. My stomach had been a horrible mess for months with burning in my stomach, esophagus, mouth and gums. I noticed that when I would not eat dairy and acidic foods those symptoms didn't happen.

Today I weighed in at 172. I am grateful. I still have gastro concerns and reflux.But, I am figuring it out. I hasn't been easy! Dairy is hidden in so many foods and such.

Why haven't I mentioned it. Seems when I celebrate losing weight... I start to gain it back. Silly, I know. I also know that weight can be a roller coaster ride. We all have to hold on tight the best we can.

I have never taken my Oemeprozole (stomach acid medicine) the right way. Pharmacist said to take it a few hours apart from Synthroid. Then, wait an hour before eating... so it starts to work. Thus, I start eating about noon. Just worked out that way. I try to stop eating a couple hours before I go to sleep,
