Going on a date... BMI/Weight for riding rides... and a pic...
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.

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.
