I got on a ride at the fair!!

So I guess this is a major wow for me. My 2yr. old wanted to ride the "tilt-a-wirl" I was going to let him ride by himself but he asked me to go with.... never in my dreams would I have ever even thought to push myself into the ride but I went half expecting the carni. to tell me there was aweight limit or not be able to push the bar down but... I fit! The funny thing is that just 2 days ago I posted about my "pity party" Isnt it funny how life works! Yes the twemptation of the fried twinkies and elephant ears were pretty tempting but just being able to walk around and noy have to find a bench was pretty satisfactory. Hell maybe by next year I will even let the man guess my weight!! ok probably not . But maybe next year I wont feel frightened to walk by him! Enjoy (whatever it is that you do)!!! keri

Hi Keri, Congratulations on your wow moment. You had me laughing so hard about the guess your weight man. LOL OMG a fried twinkie sounds delicious. I hope you have bunches more wow moments. (((hugs))) Diana

Keri, That is so awesome, I can hardly wait until I am able to ride the rides at fairs, and especially Disneyland.. that is my dream.. don't you just love those wow moments? I use to love the tilt a wirl...good for you... Lynn

Wonderful!!! Gosh, the last time I rode a tilt a wirl I had to get off in the middle of the ride because I was making the ride tilt and not wirl (terrible teen age memory). You must be so proud. You can loose inches without loosing weight, ,especially since you exercise. DO you have a scale that tells you your weight, the amount of water and the fat mass in your body? I was bummed when I gained 2 and 1/2 lbs, but then saw it was water and I had lost that much fat. Have fun on those rides!!! Shellie

Congrats, Keri!!!! P.S. I have a friend who works at the Law School at Valpariso. She really likes it.

Keri, One thing I've learned about this journey, it has it's ups and downs. Luckily, far more ups then downs! Congratulations! Lori

Keri- That's awesome! My entire motivation for getting surgery was to be able to ride on roller coasters. That is the only thing in my life I really wanted to change, and I am so happy. I have season passes and my fat butt is in a roller coaster every chance I get. Congratulations! Carrie
