Going to Six Flags

AliciaNorris81

I am going to Six Flags tomorrow. The last time we were there I wasn't in the best of health and maybe a little bigger than I am now. I am still absolutely terrified that I am going to be too big for a roller coaster! I have never had a problem with them before (close on the Batman because of my chest size) but I am so paranoid!

I am 5'7" and 250...I am really hoping this 32 pounds I have lost will make a difference. I hope so, I will be so bummed!

I used to have a fear that my airplane seatbelt wouldn't be enough and that I would need the dreaded extension. I understand your feelings. Take pride in the progress you've made!

I'm sure you will be fine! 32lbs is nothing to scoff at! Have fun!

Thanks! I didn't ride the rides at Harry Potter because I was at 280 then and I knew I wasn't going to fit. I have worked hard...so I am going to deserve that dang roller coaster ride!

I use the dreaded extension and it's demoralizing to have to ask for it, and then for the flight attendant to raise it above other people's heads in order to bring it to me as if it's an announcement that we've got a fatty on the plane -- everyone shift your weight so we don't fall out of the sky!

I'm hoping the next time I have to fly, I won't need one.

This is all there is to it. You've been working your butt off (SO meaning that literally right now) and I think it's going to be an amazing feeling for you to get on the rides and have the lap bar (or whatever safety restraint) fit you well. Let me know how it goes!! Have fun (and don't forget to add all your walking around as cardio)!

Im a chicken and its not because of size, but as I have gotten older, I am not risky with rollercoasters like I used to! lol Have fun!
