lunarose 97 Posted December 9, 2011 Hi all, Today I reached a major personal NSV. We have been planning on going to Universal Orlando and visit the Harry Potter attraction. When they first opened there was talk about the seats on one ride being small. They made the outer seat larger so overweight people could ride but they were still small and it was a bit of a stigma if you had to sit there because "everyone knows" Well today I got on the ride I was alone because I was the only one brave enough to ride. The seat that was available was an end seat but an attendant had me switch seats to an inner one so the other person could be more comfortable!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassygirl06 962 Posted December 9, 2011 so cool! I just told my kids that when I get to goal we are all going to majic mountain because I have always wanted to go there, but since I have been overweight I have thought what is the point cause I have been to fat to ride the good rides. They got all excited, and I think I will have some big cheerleaders now! congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emily_0192010 168 Posted December 9, 2011 WONDERFUL!!!!!! I have always *loved* rollercoasters and I've been to quite a few parks. I've been to Islands a LOT because I live pretty close. I know that ride from before they made it HP style and it is one of my favorites! It has been a few years since i've been... it has always been on the back of my mind that I wouldn't fit and I didn't want to go through that. One of my goal "rewards" (once I save up of course!) is to go on a rollercoaster tour of the US (and through in Canada's wonderland, cause that place is awesome). CONGRATS! I know it must have felt awesome to be moved into a smaller seat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyL 173 Posted December 9, 2011 Congrats!! I can't wait to go to Universal Studios again as a thinner/healthier person!! The last time I was there, I was miserable, in pain, and VERY grouchy. In fact, that vacation was one of my inspirations for researching weight loss surgery to begin with!! It would be awesome to go back slimmer as a celebration and reward.

thinoneday 445 Posted December 9, 2011 That is so neat! Isn't it great to be "smaller" then the "other" person for once? Good for you!!! Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
