It's the summer and my daughter is out of school. So I decided to take her to Orlando for a trip to Universal Islands of Adventure theme park. The first ride that I went on was so uncomfortable, I could not even lean back in the seat because my back could not fit. The next ride that my boyfriend was dying to go on--the Harry Potter roller coaster dueling dragons--was a no go because they have test seats outside the ride that says try this out and if you cannot buckle the harness you cannot ride the ride. Well guess waht, I could not get the harness to buckle. How embarassing! I cannot begin to explain how mortified I felt. He decided that if I could not ride it then we would just go to the next ride. Granted I was able to ride some of the other rides but with a degree of discomfort. Overall I felt ashamed, embarrassed and I just new that my man was feeling the same way too. He has not said anything nor brought it up that's just me making an assumption. On top of all of that I could not keep up with them--after awhile my feet were hurting and my back was aching. All I could think of was leaving when no one else wanted to. I kept going because they wanted to stay but deep down I was ready to leave. I just couldn't take it anymore. My saving grace was the afternoon thunderstorm that came about. At that moment everyone was ready to go. I was both thankful and disgusted. I had fun but I had my eyes opened even more. Each day when I feel like making a less healthy choice or skipping that workout I'll think about that roller coaster that I cannot ride because I am too fat...
