Carowinds..WOW moment!!
My family and I decided to take a trip to Charlotte this past Friday for a trip to Carowinds for some family time. For years I have just barely fit into some of those ride seats and had almost gotten to the point of not even trying. Just the thought of being told I would have to get off because I didn't fit was mortifying!! Anyways, I rode everything in Carowinds with ANY problems fitting. My son even wanted to ride one of the kiddie roller coasters and I rode with him with room to spare in the seat. I LOVE my new size 14 butt!! Just an FYI, I even rode that hanging roller coaster thingy (I think it's called NightHawk) and it scared the bezeeses out of me but it was too fun!! I love that I can do just about anything now without my fat self getting in the way. YAY!!!!
Carrie,
Congratulations! It's these WOW moments that someone who hasn't been obese just can't relate to... I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time, but I'm even more delighted to hear the freedom ring from your voice as you enjoy the new slimmer, healthier you.
