After the whole day my hubby was like just get on one already. I went alone! In fear of humiliation! And this ride was CRAZY!!! lol and my hubby recorded it! LOL I couldn't believe I fit! I couldn't believe I loved it! Me and hubby are planning a date night back so we can get on more.... Together:)

Jenn!! This is one of my goals!! The last time I went to a theme park, I had to get off the ride because they couldn't get the harness to lock :-( I was humiliated!! When I lose enough weight, we are going back to the same theme park and I WILL ride that ride!!

Yay! Get to report my first nsv! I've been wearing my size 18 jeans that I alwAys wear and they've been looking awful and falling off so I tried on a pair of size 14 jeans I had in my closet and thought there is no way but they fit! So so excited! Oh yeah and it's easier to put my shoes on! I don't breakout in a sweat when I do:)

This is crazy! I had my first outfits ready for my first day back at work. I thought I looked fine, they fit and I could button them no problem. Around lunchtime, my teacher assistant told me to please go shopping to find something that fits! She said she loved me and what I was doing but she didn't want me to keep hiding myself under those big clothes! I didn't realize I had already moved down from a 26/28 to 22!!!!!

Going to Disney in July!!! So excited to be walking around and not feel worn out after a couple hours. I was so nervous about the Harry potter ride cause I have heard its a squeeze but yesterday I fit into a 14 in the dressing room. I was like what?!?!?! Watch out Harry potter I am probably going to ride u 100 times and scream hell yes every time the harness clicks! Some of my nsv have been furniture shopping at ikea and not being worried I was going to break the chairs, not feeling out of place when I go shopping with my skinny friends, and purchasing a pair of shorts for the first time in forever. I can't wait to run into an x or two in my small town!
