Dreams are coming true

Don’t forget that soon you will have to read all my posts over here…stop in and say hi!

In September 2009, I went to Legoland with my nephew and I got on a ride that, had I not lost any weight, I would NOT have been able to get on with him.

How do I know? 

Because I had to suck it in to get the bar down, but it still went down and I was relieved.

In April, I was able to run around crawling tunnels with him.  Through those tight tubes that there was no way I would have been able to do a year prior.

Also in April, I was able to ride on the go-karts at a local family amusement park.  I don’t know that I would have been able to do that before and, if I had, it would NOT have been comfortable.

In July, my brother is coming out with my nephew and is going to take him to Disneyland.  I am considering going with them with a new excitement building knowing that I will most likely be able to ride several rides with my nephew.

I won’t have to suffer the embarrassment of not fitting in a ride.

I still have a long way to go to make goal; however, can I tell you what a great feeling it is to know that I can go to places and ride different rides and NOT worry about if I am going to be able to buckle my seat belt?

It’s the greatest feeling in the world.

Other times, I get mad at myself for letting my weight get out of hand…but I don’t stay mad long because I am doing something about it…I am changing my life and taking that weight off to never have it there again.

What do you do that is a dream come true?
