That's such a smart idea! I seriously didn't think of that!!! I swear every time he suggested to do something all I think about is "can I fit?" He said something about a boat that takes you around and they have a bar on it and immediately I thought "Omg, will they let me on it?" I think I still think of myself 115 pounds heavier (even though I'm by no means small).

 When I went to disneyland last, I was 300 lbs (a 5'10) and didn't have any problems with any of the rides...

A ferris wheel has plenty of room - you wont be squeezing into any tight seats or harnesses. Most major rides you should have no problem with - if there's one that has a shoulder harness type thing - it might be a tight squeeze (once upon a time when I had big boobs it was the damn contraptions that caused problems not necessarily the seat). 

This sounds like a great date - i'm proud of you. Deep breath, relax, and just go with the flow. :)

None of them? Even like a rollercoaster kind of ride? I seriously might cry. This is the first time since surgery that I've gotten teary eyed with.... I don't know what emotion this is. The clothes haven't gotten me, the hundred pounds didn't get me, the guys liking me didn't get me, but the possibility that I can seriously ride rides... that's been my dream since I was a teenager. Wow...

 The roller coasters with just a bar were fine when I was at your weight tight but I could do it.  BUT the ones that go upside down and go over the top I couldn't do because of the large breasts.  Hope that's helpful.  Oh and I'm 5'5".

When I was heavier, the thing I hated most was surprises.  I would call over there and ask them what their weight limit is on their rides.  They should be able to tell you.  He sounds great and I hope you have a wonderful time.  You have an amazing personality and you look beautiful in your picture.  Go and enjoy the date, and of course, come back and tell us all about it.  :)

Thanks Elina. Omg I hate surprises too. I would fear movie theaters because I didn't know if the arm rests went up. Restaurants because I didn't know if they only had booths or if their seating was crowded and because I didn't want to ask for a table in front of who I was with. Just anything... I'm still terrified. We might go on a boat and even though it's big I'm still scared that I might be in trouble for being too big. I wonder if I'll ever get over this... When I see pictures of myself I'm just not accepting of myself.

Girl- move forward with your new life and quit being afraid you have been given a gift and if you continue to live in the past you will regret the future- If you get on and you don't fit then be like oh well next- It sounds like you have a great guy that is accepting of who you are- if he dated larger girls in the past he knows what to expect when it comes to rides and everything else. YOU WILL BE FINE. I have never been a person who allowed my weight to limit my life, so take it by the horns and live it...you only get one chance so don't let it pass you by.

I hope I get over my fear soon! I've regretted my past for far too long! I'm still scared to be called out on being fat. I do think he knows what to expect...

The last time I was at an amusement park I was 274 (currently I'm 297lbs)  I could fit on a fairuswheel and one of the rollercoasters but those were the only things I could fit on.  Couldn't fit well on the other rides.    I don't know if that helps to give you and idea.  I'm 5 ft 6 inch.  My waist is very large for my portion.  53.5 inch waish 60inch around the hips but these measurements are at 297 not 274 as I really don't recall my measurements than.  You should meaures yourself but my guess is you'll do better than I did.
