I decided to take my kids to one of those trampoline places today. Thought it would be a fun calorie burning thing to do.

My kids were jumping in the foam pit (a big pit full of foam cubes). They wanted mommy to do it too. Brazen with my 35lb loss I did it and it was fun...

Until I realized I could not get myself out of there. It took 2 big guy workers to pull my arms and that was with a hanging step they put in the pit for me to use to get out but I could not swing my other leg over. It was a 15 minute totally embarrassing ordeal and I'm thoroughly horrified. Thank god my kids are so young they were blissfully clueless.

I hate being the fat mom. No more!!!

God love ya! But u know what, you were a Momma playing with her kiddos!!! That is awesome. That's what this is all about for me!!! Good luck on continued success. And congrats on your loss this far!!

I'm proud of you for taking risks. We deserve joy and fun. I'm sorry for the struggle and embarrassment at the end, but soon those incidents will be a thing of the past. Keep LIVING!

Have fun with those kids -- you rock! And yes, motivation indeed. I am so much happier being a "normal" size now but given the arthritis, etc. I doubt I would have been able to get out of there either. And I work out! Keep that sense of humor. And keep the image -- it will help you resist temptation.

It takes time but at least you did try it & soon you won't need assistance.

I agree with every one else, while other moms are busy doing something, you're the mom playing with your kids! That's awesome and that's what they'll remember too!

Thanks everyone. When my husband got home my 3 year old said Mommy got stuck in the ball pit!!! I was found out by Hubby. So much for keeping it quiet. Now his teacher will know, my nanny, the next door neighbor... Can't stop kids' mouths!!! Lol

Don't worry, your day will come....I can now do things, and sometimes better, than people half my age...

Not many people remember me when I was fat....

A new life awaits....

You have the power to banish this bad experience from your life forever. Once you lose all your weight go back to the same place and jump into that pit for all your worth! Make a point of having someone take a picture when you do and proudly display it in your home front and center. The very thought of conquering your demon should give you inspiration to get down to the weight you want to be in no time. Turn that lemon into lemonade!
