Wheeee!!!!

Well, 15 weeks after starting Weight Watchers, I've hit one of my biggest goals.

Yesterday, at Halloween in Hershey, for the first time since I was about 19, I was able to fit onto a rollercoaster. And not just any rollercoaster, no. I rode the Great Bear. A year ago, I couldn't even fit in the seat! After that, we rode the Comet, and I fit in that, too!

I am so happy with myself and Weight Watchers right now, y'all have no idea. Shelly bought three of the keychain pictures of us on the Great Bear. I have it in my purse as a reminder.

And almost as cool as riding the coaster, I walked the whole damn park, and I wasn't tired, my feet didn't hurt, and people were keeping up with me, instead of being slowed down by me.
So, yes, this has been a fucking awesome week.

PS. I scream like a girl. *nod*

That so rocks! *big hugs*

Thank you! *hugs*

I have to say, I hate sounding like the preachy dieters we all know and loathe, but it's made such a huge world of difference in how I regard food. It's really helped me to figure out the triggers that made me overeat (hello, boredom and social anxiety!) and helped to make even my "bad" days less damaging. Since July, I've lost over thirty pounds, and have improved my asthma, my aching joints, and my confidence. Plus, roller coasters! *grin*
