Yuck, It's Summer Already

Here in Central Texas we have two seasons:
Summer
and
Not Quite Summer

I know it's only mid-April but we've already had a couple of 98 degree days. I rarely cook this time of year, because when I do, it goes to waste. Shawn will come in from work and I'll ask if he's hungry. "No...I'll just eat later. It's too hot."

And I can't bear to throw away food, so whatever's been in the fridge just-before-too-long, I'll eat it. And I wonder why I'm gaining weight?

So Shawn says to me, "You know how I do. I can't eat when it's this hot! I'll eat later..."

So I says, "And by that, you mean September?"

He laughed. "This is Texas! October, November, at least!!"

The only good part about summer is that I tend to lose about 5-10 pounds (I have a habit of putting it all back on between November 20 and December 31--body fat keeps you warm, you know)

However, they told me months ago, that with birth control pill, I might gain a few pounds. I didn't notice anything at first. However, I have recently discovered that my face appears a bit more rounder and my belly is a bit larger. If the birth control shot that I was on before didn't cause your bones to deteriorate, I'd go back on it in a heartbeat!

Pardon me for saying this...

but I just feel fat.
