Downside to WLS
Just thought I would share that an unexpected downside to WLS fell into my lap last night.
My husband 
of almost 25 years, informed me last night that he has made reservations for our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. 
You may be asking yourself, "where is the downside?" Well, our tow previous trips to Hawaii we have flown first class. This time, and I quote my husband, "your not fat anymore, you can fly coach!" 
So you see, there is a downside to WLS. By losing 150 pounds, I also lost my first class seat!!

Well, TWIST YOUR ARM and MAKE you sit in coach on the way to Hawaii!
Congrats Miss Debbie!! You enjoy that coach seat, and be sure and pull that "non-extended" seat belt tight!!
Oh..and when you pull your food tray ALLLL the way down, be sure to enjoy and extra pack of pretzels!
Have a FABULOUS time!
I hope you ahve a wonderful time! Thank you all, I plan to have a great time, even if I must ride in the back of the plane
This will be our first time going to Hawaii.........alone 
The first trip we took all three kids, the second trip we took my Aunt and Uncle. It will be odd going with just the two of us, but I think we will have a good time. 
I just need to keep reminding myself, the back of the plane gets there at the same time the front of the plane does 
First class, Coach.......who cares, I still get to go!!!
