My ah-ha moment happened summer of 2009 when I had to fly to a family reunion.
I had to ask for a seat belt extension on a regular jet...that had never happened before.
I started on Jenny Craig that fall.
Apparently I'm determined to be the slowest loser in history, as I'm now at 227, and my goal, 175, I have scheduled to meet at the end of this year. It would officially be 129 pounds lost when I meet that goal number.
I keep track anytime I fly now of how the seat belt feels as I still remember how humiliated I was to have to ask for the extender.
This past Xmas I flew on an American Eagle jet, one of those small ones with 2x2 configuration.
Not only did I have about 5 or so inches of spare on the seat belt, I could even cross my legs (if I sat a bit sideways)...I've never been able to do that!
Also, I was able to walk down the aisle straight down and not sideways....Progress!
So my ah ha moment continues to be an NSV moment anytime I'm on an airplane.
