So I have been on a plateau since January so I really hadn't noticed much, but the other day I was at Knott's Berry Farm with my kids. Quick note I have hated amusement parks for years because to be honest I felt like I was too big for ALL of the rides. So back to my story, I realized that I could comfortably fit into every single ride I went on!!! Not omg hold my breath to get the lap bar down or get the harness tightened I actually fit!!!!! It really was an exciting thing to realize. I wasn't over the weight limit even for the swings!! YIPEEE! There is some sort of sunshine in my dark plateau. LOL

    congrats on your accomplishment! I can totally relate...last year I had friends go on rides with my daughter because I was too scared I wouldn't fit and how embarrassed I would be! Now I'm so looking forward to going to an amusement park with her so I can go on the rides with her!! :)

    Congrats! It is so cool to feel smaller...My favorite moments are when my children hug me and can get their arms around me with room to spare!

    Very cool... I was never able to fit into the rides and now that can, I have such a problem with motion sickness, I can't even ride a carousel without getting queasy.

    ENJOY!

    Thanks everyone!! I am glad to know I am not the only one that avoided them before.

    I love that too, even when my hubby hugs me and says "Da#n babe you really are smaller!" LOL
