So typically I avoid amusement parks like the plague. The last time I went to Six Flags, I only fit on one ride. It was a horrible day and a waste of money. Not to mention the embarrassment that went with it.
Since then I have lost quite a bit of weight so when my bestie from UT flew out to see me in NY, we decided to go to the Six Flags in Mass. When we got there, I was so nervous about whether I'd fit on the roller coasters and I kept having "flashbacks" to the last time, having to get off of the ride and the walk of shame.

However, the great news? I was able to ride every damn ride there! It was sooo awesome and fun! Whenever people would ask why I wanted to lose weight, I'd say, "so I can ride rides." and it finally happened!

I'm so proud of myself! :)

" I am so proud of you, way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes one feel good to accomplish something, just think how much better off your body is now. When I was young I hardly weighed anything, now I have put the weight on since I have gotten older and with fibro, Hopefully you will maintain a good weight and help you throughout your entire life.

" Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is so great to read some GOOD NEWS!

I lose weight with a food diary
www.dailyfooddiary.net
and I need some motivation. That is a good idea
to have an incentive to reach the incremental goals.

Note to self...make a list of goals with incentives.... "

" Hey! Congratulations!!! I'm happy for you and hope to achieve the same thing one day...well, I might not ride all the rides because I'm not good with the spinny ones, but I'd stand in line just to sit in a seat on a ride and fit into it and then get up and walk out. Wouldn't that be funny!

Way to go!!! "
