250lbs broken!!! Plane ride here I come!!

May 06, 2012

I am SO excited!  I weighted this morning and I beat my May 9th goal.  I weighed in at 249.6lbs!!  I was starting to think last week that I wasn't going to make it, but I DID!  I haven't been below 250lbs in 15 years.  Also, a NSV, I tried on my high school class ring just for giggles, and IT FIT!  I was kinda surprised because I weighed about 180 when I graduated high school.  My fingers must be shrinking faster than the rest of me.  lol  I'm still nervous about my business trip on Wednesday.  The fear of the unknown.  Will I crowd my co-worker?  Can I get the seat belt on without an extender?  Will I be able to put the tray down on my lap?  Will I be able to get through the aisle without hitting people with my butt?  Last year when I went to Chicago, I weighed 357lbs.  I had 2 embarrassing moments.  1st, when I got to the check-in, the guy at the counter asked me if I needed 2 seats!!  I about died.  I said no since my company was footing the bill, but it was a miserable trip.  Then on the way back, I sat in my tiny seat, tried to buckle up, asked for an extension, but the flight attendant said she didn't have one.  She said she had one seat that had a longer belt.  I had to switch seats with someone I didn't know.  I could see in the guy's eyes I had to sit beside roll when he saw that I had to sit beside him.  I really didn't blame him.  I think I felt as uncomfortable as he did.  I hate crowding someone.  I would put up with my misery, but I hated to put my fat ass in someone else's space.  My co-worker is about 5'4" and weighs 200lbs and I remember she fit just fine in the seat last year when we traveled.  I am 5'8" tall so I hope the height difference will make me as comfortable as she will be.  I just don't know...I'm really nervous!!  I'll blog about my experience after I get back...maybe the night of my trip if it goes well...I may not be able to contain my excitement, or disappointment.  Which ever it will be.  Everyone have a great week!  Mine's rockin' so far!
