The Crazy Story About My Weight After a 7-Day Cruise!
Hey y’all! I HAVE to tell you this because it was absolutely CRAZY. I just got back from a 7-day cruise, and y’all will not believe what happened to my body!
The Shocking Weight Gain
So normally, my weight stays around 158–161 pounds. That’s the range I’m used to, the weight I maintain. But when I got home after the cruise, I stepped on the scale and OMG… 190.3 pounds! I’m not kidding, I’m not exaggerating at all. I swear it’s true!
My legs were like tree trunks, y’all! My face was so swollen, everything puffed up like crazy because of water. It was like my body was holding onto every single drop. Me and my husband had never seen anything like it!

Why Did This Happen?
Do y’all know why? My body got severely dehydrated because I was drinking alcohol and eating foods that were super high in sodium on the ship. Now, the food didn’t taste salty, but they load it with preservatives and sodium to keep it fresh since it’s out at sea.
And to make it worse, once I got on the plane—boom! My body swelled up even more. That always happens to me when I fly, no matter what trip it is.
The 4-Day Miracle Detox
But here’s the wild part—after I got home, I had to go through a detox for 4 days. And in those 4 days, my body flushed all that water right out. I dropped right back down to 161 pounds, just like normal!
Crazy, right? I’ve never seen anything like that in my life!
The Lesson Learned
Now I know what to do next time. Casey Connection told me exactly what I need to bring with me:
-
Vitamin B1
-
Potassium pills
-
Magnesium
The real issue was I didn’t drink enough water on the ship. Y’all know me—I’m used to drinking plenty of water, but this time I just didn’t. I kept sipping alcohol—which dehydrates you—and eating dehydrating foods all day long. I was too through!
A Promise to Myself
And let me tell y’all something—won’t get me no more! Next time, I’m not letting that happen again. I’m going to hydrate properly and make sure I pack what I need.
But even with all that, I still had an amazing trip! I’m so thankful to God for blessing me with that experience. And guess what? We’re going back in December with the boys for a Christmas cruise!
