Hi everyone!
I'm back home.
It was a FANTASTIC trip, I had a wonderful time with family and friends.
The flight to NY was harder than the return but bottom line I am so happy and proud that I did it.  And the best part...... I believe I can do it again and am already planning my next trip and my next and my next.....  

Some of my friends, some former co-workers and even a couple of family members did not recognize me at all.  The reaction from everyone to seeing the small me were priceless.  I wish I had a camera crew with it, it would have been great to re-watch.

My closest friends and family could not believe the pictures of me flying the little plane.  That experience sure helped me with overcoming my paralyzing fear. 
Thanks to everyone hear *****commended the hypnotherapy.  That was what I needed.  That definitely took the panic out of me.  I'm a believer!

I think at this point I wouldn't say I love it, I don't HATE it and I'm not paralyzed by it.  I'm looking forward to my next flight and feel like I've gained an enormous amount of freedom.....I can go anywhere I want to go now.  WAHOO!!!

I've got to catch up on all the messages I missed over the past 6 days.....I'll do that this afternoon.

Hope everyone is doing well.
Thanks for the support with overcoming my paralyzing fear of flying.
Catch you later...

 Yeah for you!!!! It so great when we overcome what causes us anxiety.

And did I read right- did you actually pilot a plan yourself?? Talk about jumping in with both feet!! :-)

Wow Ruth, I'm so happy for you - that was an amazing challenge for you and you won. I'm also so glad that you can feel and enjoy your accomplishment. Sooooooo - where are you planning to fly to next?

That must have been so much fun dealing with everyone who saw the new and improved Ruth - yes, it's a shame you didn't have a film crew LOL. You have had an amazing journey in shedding your weight.

Congratulations Ruth....you did it!!!! 

Between the whole fear of flying and piloting a plane and then being unrecognizable by family and friends...you should have brought a film crew and made your own production out of it all.  You are an inspiration!

The world just became a much smaller place, huh?  Have fun planning your trips to see it all.
