Minnesota State Fair time!!
Aug 27, 2010
You darn RIGHT I'm going! Last year I went just a couple weeks out from my ob/hernia surgery, and felt fine. Oh, sure, I got stuck on my beloved cheese curds, but I had eaten most of a pork chop an hour or so earlier. Stupid on my part. Still I had a GREAT TIME with my beloved friend, Barb!Tomorrow, it's me & the family. We're meeting up with a couple other dear friends there later in the day. We're all really looking forward to it - checking out all the cool campers, the critters (LOVE ME SOME HORSIES!!), fun products & such in the grandstand and coliseum buildings, some rides, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band concert, and of course, FOOD. I'm not afraid of you, State Fair food!
See, for me, it's really never been about the food. Cheese curds, yes. The one thing I HAVE to have EVERY YEAR. And once I discovered how awesome the pork chops are, well, those have been a must-have, too. The rest of it? Nothing really screams EAT ME. Pre-WLS, I think I was just afraid to be 'that fat lady' who was always shoveling something in her face, so I just didn't do it. Snow cones and beverages, yes. Junk? Not so much. Don't care for pronto pups OR corn dogs. I'll enjoy a Tiny Tim donut or two out of someone else's bag. I MIGHT try camel or gator, but there's really nothing else that I can't pass up, and I'm honestly happy about that!
I also enjoy cruising through the campers more now, 'cuz I FIT through the doors NP, and I don't fear tipping them over when I step inside! I hated the Giant Slide before - A) 'cuz of the ridiculous number of STAIRS it takes to get to the top, and B) because at my weight, I slammed into the chain-link fence at the bottom - too much momentum for mere astro-turf to bring me to a stop! Maybe I'll try that?
Anyway, fair food is too expensive to over-do it as well. So I'll go, enjoy the sights, the people-watching and all, and know that I'm not going to destroy my pouch with junk all day! YAY WLS!!!
