So I had a big NSV yesterday! You can regret a lot of things when you're big. One of mine was not being able to do the amusement parks with my kids. I was to big to fit on the roller coasters or other rides. Yesterday my little wife and I had a date day at the local amusement park. I rode the hell out of those roller coasters!!! The first one was the panic plunge! OMG! This is the one where you sit in a seat with nothing under you and rise 16 miles. Then with absolutely no warning, you drop at the speed of light! So as I was rising about half way up I'm like "what the hell am I doing here!" Then you keep going and going. Now comes the praying.....and then DROPPPPPPPP.... We had such a great time! I love being skinnier!!!

    I can totally relate. I love amusement parks, but was getting pretty depressed at them. It was embarrassing to have to wait for the 'fat seat' of the roller coaster while the rest of my family got on that train. And then you sit down and pray you can get the restraints locked.

    We'll be at Great America in Gurnee at the end of June. Being 47 pounds down (50 by then, hopefully), I am looking forward to going coaster crazy.

    nice...congrats!

    I am actually excited to go to an amusement park again as I was possibly in the same boat. I never had been turned away but had gotten to the size where I didn't even try....out of fear of embarrassment. So for the past several years I just wouldn't go. I love coasters!

    Happy for you.
