The Freak Out

  • So I was given the opportunity to go to disney in orlando at the end of next month. I said no, waffled back to yes and they bought the tickets and then i waffled back to no. It's always on account of the plane seats, every time I have to go somewhere that requires a plane, which inevitably brings the freak out. Needless to say I'm a couple dozen pounds heavier than the last time I went on a plane, the last time i was sure I fit. I have 6 weeks and I'm not planning on killing myself over the diet but I'm being far more strict than I usually end up being. The whole..."i'll work out later" thing has ended and it's officially later. The goal is to simply fit in the seat in a way that no one's gonna ask me to get off the plane.. I'm 316 right now. If I lose 2lbs a week before I go I can get close to 300 and I'll be satisfied with that.

    Yesterday was a fabulous day in regards to food, was below 1500 calories and burned about 250 w/ a short but intense workout. I'm eating slightly more today on account of not wanting to trigger some sort of starvation mode in my body...as if i need it. But its going really well today and if that's all I can manage I'm grateful for it.

    So...uh.... what exactly is there to do at disney for a 300lb person?

  • Hi Junyper &welcome to 3fc.
    Oh boy but can I relate to you. This summer I took my boy back to Ontario for a visit and we spent a day at Canada's Wonderland. I hadn't been there in about 10 years, but during my last visit I rode the coasters and joined the kids in the fun.
    This time around I pretty much begged my boy to ride the old wooden coaster with me. Once he agreed & we got through the wait in line, we excitedly hurried to the coaster. To my horror, I couldn't fit in the seat! I was mortified when I had to tell my boy I couldn't fit and had to get out. I was embarrassed for him and for myself. I vowed that once I returned home I would research a good weight loss program that I could stick to with success.

    Finding 3fc has been very helpful as I feel supported & motivated. I'm sure you will too.
    Good luck to you with your journey.
