airplane NSVs

[gowalking 10,790]

So...I was on vacation last week and was so happy to not just fit into the seat on the plane, but I didn't need the belt extender and I had no problem buckling the belt (I even had to tighten it a little!). Then, I had no problem putting down the armrest. For the first time in years, It wasn't tight, it wasn't riding up on my hip, it just went down...and stayed there. Oh glory!!

I didn't eat or drink anything other than Water but I just had to bring the tray down...and again...it went down and stayed there. I didn't have to move my belly out of the way, I didn't have to worry it wouldn't go down... Oh the happiness of the ordinary!!

I'm even OK with the 1/2 lb. weight gain. I was very aware of portions and did well in that regard but we ate out alot and I know I ate items that were higher in sodium than I usually eat at home so I expect it's probably Water weight. I don't care right now...I was like a regular person on the flight and that is so satisfying.

How fantastic for you... it makes all the work and worry worth it... I am amazed at how much better I feel with just 40 lbs off.. flying is difficult enough without worrying about fitting in the seat, etc. Great Job...
