My wow Day [Edit Post]

We can forget the Wow moment, I had a whole wow day yesterday. We went to cedar point amusement park as a family trip we do every summer. Back in oh probably the early nineties I stopped riding the rides after being humilitated becaus eI couldn't fit on a ride at geagua lake park. So I would sit as the whole family went off and rode all day and had fun. Well yesterday after being a bit apprehensive, because yes you see numbers moving on the scale but you see the same person in the mirror I tried the seats at the ends of the lines and I fit, with room to spare. I rode every ride I could with exception of a few of the ones with bigger hills, lol, I am a sissy. But OH MY GOD I rode the magnum and so many others, more rides than I ever thought possible. I had the time of my life and felt like a little kid all over again. I have so far to go with my weight loss but this one day made it all so worth while. I will treasure this memory forever.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! That is a HUGE accomplishment, and I know just how great that feels! My husband, 4 kids and I went to Disney last Sept. It was a miracle. I was no longer the fat mom sitting on the bench waiting for the return of everyone. I was part of the trip, went on all the rides and felt so "normal". Nothing feels that great after years of watching my life go by... Congrats again! Boyzz
