Six Flags Has Nothing on Me!

Spydr · October 9, 2006

Well, I did it! I fit on all the rides at Six Flags Over Texas. Some I had plenty of room to spare. It was so nerve racking considering how I have not fit in several years. I was really afraid of the embarressing moment that might lay before me.

I thought big and got on the Titan first. When the bar came down and I didn't have to breathe in, I knew it was going to be a beautiful day! I rode everything and couldn't stop smiling. I even did the big swing where the strap you in a suit and pull you up over the park and you let yourself fly. I flew all by myself and I gotta tell you, it felt grand. There is a DVD of me on the flying thing and when you watch it, you can see the moment that it hits me that I really am okay.

I really am okay! I now can see what others have seen in my weight loss and it can only get better. Sometimes we need times like this to show us what we can't see in the mirror or won't hear from friends. I found the smaller girl inside me and you know what? She loves to fly!

Spydr, that's great news! Wish you could upload the video of you swinging/flying. It's good to see you again, I always look for you when I visit the dr.s office.

I have tears in my eyes too. I'm just so happy for you! I think I'm going to plan a trip to Six Flags for my 199 present (when I get there).

Thanks for checking in with us.

I was wondering how your trip went. Your an insiration to me!!

My plan is to take my daughter, neice and nephew to an amusement park.

I cannot wait to feel that "FREE" feeling. Not having to worry if I'll fit.

Thanks for the inspiring follow up!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad it finally sunk in what a great weight loss you are having. Glad you can fly. Now I still think its insane to strap in and let the bottom fall out, or ride in some basket high above the ground. :wacko: I'll reserve mine to Disney World and a ride that never leaves the ground. :rolleyes:
