Yes it is much easier to handle the heat...however, you learn to bring a sweater/hoodie everywhere!! Restaurants, airplanes, movie theaters, supermarkets (ooooh especially the produce/meat depts) are uncomfortably FREEZING now!!! :)

It is easier. I know for me it is. I don't struggle doing things now. I still sweat and get hot but not as bad.

It's amazing how much better it is. I was out this morning, it was 80 degrees with 85% humidity and I felt a little *****illed, lol. It was likely the humidity making me feel damp, but seriously, I was chilled.

I feel the same way.

I used to love the hot weather when I was slim, but being heavy just drags everything down.

Looking forward to not dealing with that next year.

The best thing that happened for any vacation, not just in the summer, was that I could focus on the actual activities and food secondary versus planning an entire trip around eating. Your mindset totally changes and you start enjoying your vacations even more! I don't have anxiety any more of what am I going to wear or need nor do I over pack. Everything I bring fits and I pack less and focus less on those things. Take this time before your next trip next summer, focus on you getting healthy, and you will have the most amazing time!
