Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Splurging

Coming back from traveling and not realizing all the good food you have eaten and the diet you had before went back to you gaining the weight you didn't expect to gain.

As you come back home certain clothes no longer fit you because you have gained weight from all the different kind of food you ate and even if you walked for hours at your tour and walking to explore you lost no weight because when you got tired all you did was go back in eating something you called, splurging because you are in a different place and they don't have that kind of food when you return back to your homeland.

As people see you coming back in your homeland someone mistake you as being pregnant and that is when you begin to look at yourself and place yourself back to the healthy mode that you are coming back into reality that you are no longer on vacation.

As summer is approaching people start going on a diet to fit into their summer clothes or clothes to make the sexy, beautiful or built with muscles and handsome all over again.

Even when someone says, you look pregnant you get mad at those people saying you are not pregnant and you complain to them. All they do is laugh at you and you begin to look at yourself in the mirror if it is really true. You find out your clothes are too big for you and is falling off your waist and realize it is just an image they see from you.

You go back to the diet mode and start eating healthy to hope you will be able to lose your weight when your next vacation you have planned out you will look good when you take a picture again.

My friend was telling me I look fat on our video call. She laughed at me and said, I lost more weight from you as she shows me her stomach from the mirror how thin she looks compared to me.

I figure I can lose that weight if I wanted too and I can go back to how I had looked before. I figure I won't be seeing my friend from two months from now and it gives me enough time to lose the weight.

Some people like to compete with each other like we are having a race to see who looks better.

Some people just tell me just to balance the food I eat and my weight will fall into place and to start exercising to lose the flab in your arms and stomach that is starting to show.

Good luck to those have a goal to reach the weight they want for the upcoming summer!
