Photo Inspiration! First Disney trip in my new body! Biggest photo post yet!

So my Love Lesa and I went to Disney World in February and WOW what a difference losing 169 lbs make! The last time I went to Disney I was at least 295 lbs and couldn't go on any of the thrill rides. This time around it was 100 % different! How refreshing it is to not even THINK  "am I going to fit?".  Unless you have been obese, people just don't understand the little things you take for granted when your thin. I am so grateful for my new life and Lesa and I had so much fun on our romantic Disney getaway! We have both lost a lot of weight and deserve to ride as many rollercoasters as possible!!

 

Lesa and I at Disneyland in 2011. 3 months before my RNY. I had already lost some weight on my pre op diet. I weighed 294lbs at the time.

 

 

Lesa and I with Gaston in Disney World in February 2013. I weigh 142 lbs! What a difference!  

 

Wow...it's amazing what your body can do! I was so so big!  

 

         

In 2011 I could not ride the carousel. I stood on the sidelines taking pictures of Lesa and my cousin.  

 

 

Now after my RNY I get to be the one riding the carousel! This was a BIG DEAL for me.  

     

I LOVE this picture of us!

Congratulations! Well done! You two look so happy! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself!

So happy for you!  That's one thing I am looking forward to this summer, riding the rides at Six Flags with my boyfriend and my kids... you and Lesa look great!

Your picture on the carousel made me cry. I haven't been on one in years. I know what that feels like, when you can only stand on the side and take pics. You both look wonderful. I'm so happy for you!

It made me tear up too! That isolated feeling is horrible....but what a beautiful freedom Amber got to experience!

This is so wonderful!! 

Congratulations!!!

My God Amberlee -- you are GORGEOUS! You were pretty before, but what makes the difference is how HAPPY you now look!

Good for you! Way to go girl! You are so inspiring to me -- I can't wait to ride rollercoasters too!

WAY TO GO!

It is incredible the transformation - you look wonderful and so happy!  Thanks for sharing

Very cute!  We were there last week for spring break and had a blast!  I agree it is liberating not having to think about fitting on the rides.  I saw so many people in motorized scooters or having trouble walking by mid-day that it reaffirmed why I'm so thankful for my RNY.  I cant' wait to go back to WDW!
