Sez
has started again!!
On of my catalysts that pushed me to LL was last summer when we went to Alton Towers. I love the big scary rides, but I was so fat that I could not fit in the safety harnesses etc. I was sooo ashamed.:wave_cry: It sort of festered for a while, and a few others things happened that made me think..hmmmm, maybe I should do something. Anyway, Christmas came & went with all the over indulgence that brings, and my daughter had her 8th birthday in early Feb. When I saw the video of me at her party, whacking the pinata with my vast bulk waddling around, and (Heaven help me) even trying to do the Casper Slide with the kids, I knew it was now or never.
I looked seriously into gastric surgery, got all the details and was prepared to head off to my GP for a referral. I told a friend of mine about my thoughts & she pushed me onto a mutual acquaintance who was on LL. My OH (and oddly enough my GP) were and still are, very anti gastric bands, bypass etc., so LL seemed like a godsend.
Anyway, the upshot of all this is that tomorrow we are taking the family to Thorpe Park,:character00182: and I really really hope that after a 5 stone(ish) loss so far, I will be able to ride on all those thrill rides that I could not at Alton Towers!! I am soooo excited and am going to press gang my son into riding along with me! (OH is a bit wimpy when to comes to ride!!)
Wish me luck & I will keep you posted afterwards!!:gimi::gimi::gimi:
