A Life Worth Living.....

If you are anything like me your weight has held you back from enjoying many things.

 

Since childhood I avoided crowds, parties, public to hopefully avoid being picked on. The first time I ever traveled was when I was 22 years old. I went to New Orleans to see my cousin, my first time out of NC/VA and my first time on a plane. Since I have traveled to Vegas, Nashville, and California's Sierras. I love to travel, but some places I still wouldn't go due to my weight- beaches, warm places, where a bathing suit would be expected.

 

I also didn't go into fancy clothing stores, I just got my clothes at walmart. I was afraid of what the sales ladies would think of me walking in a upscale store.

 

Now, I have lost 45 lbs, I am 32 years old and I am sick and tired of not living due to my weight. So even though I have not reached my goal, I am going to LIVE!!!

 

I have always wanted to go to Disney and Seaworld, but never did due to the walking discomfort fear and all the people. Well, I booked the hubs and I a week trip to Disney for April. Mickey here we come!! I plan to do the things I have always wanted to do, not more holding back.

 

It's my time! I don't want to look back 40 years from now with regrets. I considered lapband 10 years ago, but didn't do it because my family wasn't supportive, I wish I would have told them on board or not I am doing it.

 

Next fall we are going back to Louisana (his family is there), maybe New York in the next year. No more holding back and waiting for xyz to take place. I am alive and here now, so I am going to LIVE!

Good for you booking the trip. Many many years ago I use to go to a resort on Cape Cod,MA. They had a gay obese comic who was the best. He once made a comment about decorating his body. Since that time I have dressed good. Even very large, didn't care. I only bought Ralph Lauren jeans, yes very expensive but I loved how they looked and I felt good in them. I own fur coats, yes I look like a huge bear in my full length beaver, but I didn't care. Now I care more about how I dress. That comic made me dress better and fell good about my self even though I was a size 18/20/22 whatever that year.

Enjoy Disney and practice walking a lot. I went many years ago when my boys were younger and took long walks.

Happy Holidays.
