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! :)

" You go, girl! LOL! I have (had) that EXACT same issue, really! Only it wasn't Six Flags, it was Hershey Park. But yes, I do know exactly where you're coming from, and NOW you don't have to worry about that anymore! Gosh, I don't even know you, yet I am soooooo proud of you! I know how good it feels! Keep up the great work! Would you like to share your secret with a newbie? I'd love to hear it! "
