NSV - My own personal revenge!

I'm so happy today that I wanted to share it with every fellow MFPer that takes the time to read this!

It was exactly one year ago today that I took my son to Six Flags for his birthday and had to get off of several rides because I was too big to be properly secured. There were several others that I didn't try to get on because they were kind enough to put a test seat outside the ride rather than completely humiliate "oversized" riders by making them exit the ride right in front of everyone (after waiting for over an hour, of course).

Anyway, I digress...that day last year served as the wake up call that got me really motivated to make a lifestyle change. I made a vow last year to lose weight and go back this year and ride every one of those damn rides with my son. When I left the house yesterday morning I knew I had made enough progress that would ride most of them. There were two that I thought I still wouldn't be able to ride because last year I was not even close to being able to be secured in to the seat. I mean...it was bad.

But guess what!? I rode every single one of them. Not only did I fit, but my hips didn't get squished either! There were six of us (2 adults and 4 teens). We got there when the park opened and left when it closed. As we were about to leave the park, I noticed that the other adult was limping around from sore feet and all the teens complaining about their feet and how tired they were. Me? I was the only one not having any pain and not the least bit tired. In fact, I was complaining that the park shouldn't close so early because I didn't have a chance to ride Superman or the Whizzer.

This has been a great year. I lost over 70 pounds, I have learned how to enjoy exercise, I found a passion in hula hooping that I never knew was there, and I totally made Six Flags my b*tch.
