I know exactly what you mean, Sheila. It happened to me last summer. I hadn't been to our park in years since I had gotten on a ride and had to get off in front of everyone when the lapbelt wouldn't close. Then, I lost the 40+ lbs and was able to get on all except one ride last summer....
You've renewed my commitment to get on that rollercoaster this summer. Yep, that's the goal I'm shooting for!
Way to go! I bet that was the greatest feeling. I hate the wait in line for a ride not knowing if it will fit. One of my motivators is to be way down in weight by the time we go to Disney (first time ever!) next year. Those rides will be something to look forward to instead of dread.
