I had an couple of awesome non-scale victories this morning! My whole family went to see Disney on Ice today, and the first thing that I did was to check the seating to see if the armrests would raise up. Now I haven't been to The Q in almost a year and a half, and I couldn't remember if they went up or not. Of course, they didn't, so I resigned myself to the fact that I would spend 2 hours shoved into a tiny seat with the armrests sitting between the rolls of fat at my waist. I knew when I would get up that I would have to do that weird forward slide to get away from the armrests, and I would probably sit there until most of the people left so that no one would see me trying to get up.
Then I sat down.
I FIT IN THE SEAT!!!!
I had a good inch of clearance on both sides. I could stand up and sit down normally. I felt like a normal person sitting there! I could shift around so my butt wouldn't go to sleep! I actually want to do more things now. I can go to shows and games, because I fit!
So, we left with the crowd. The elevators were jammed with people, so we started looking for stairs. We found a set, went up a flight to be told by security that we had to take the elevator because that part of the arena was closed. So we went down two levels to the ground floor, went outside, crossed the street and proceeded to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get to our car in the parking garage. Guess who made it to the top first? Guess who's 8 year old was asking her mommy to slow down because she was going too fast up the stairs? Guess who didn't even break a sweat and was barely out of breath?
Yep, that was me today! I love my life!

It is posts like yours that have helped me get through the last few days, everything comes as such a big impact and you wonder if it's worth it, and to read this I know it will be.

NRMCLEAN....What I say next I must explain since my emotions cant be felt in a text but believe me when I say I mean this in the sincerest way...It IS worth it! When we speak in a future tense "it will be " we keep ourself in expectation of something,waiting for it to happen. Please stop! Speak in the present tense, "It IS" ...right now,in progress.....& results happen!
Whether we believe it or not,what we speak about,we bring about!
When something is FACT,regardless of our belief,it still remains fact.

My New Years resolution is to take my daughter to Cedar Point and to be able to fit on the majority of thr rides with her. I'm not crazy enough to think that I'll be able to fit in all of them, but I want to get to where I can fit on some, if not most of them. Every day is worth it!

Kudos to you! Those are two amazing accomplishments. I really relate to the stairs. I could hardly make it up and down the stairs in my home without major huffing and puffing (sometimes I had to lie down on the bed to recover)! Feeling the difference is so empowering! More power to you as you continue in your weight loss journey!!!

I live in Northern ohio, less than an hour away from The Point. I spent many a summer day there before I graduated high school, and I loved it. I haven't been since, because I figured I was too big and I wouldn't have any fun. Now I am determined.

Great to hear! I know how you feel. In a similar way, the first time I was able to click an airplane seatbelt together without asking for an extender was joyous!
