We went to Orlando, Florida for the Holidays. Started the planning back in April with the family. I was worried that the weight would be a problem in Disney. Everyone told me that there would be a lot of walking and I couldn't walk Walmart. I couldn't expect Bill to push a wheel chair. I tried Curves first. That fell through after three weeks and a major flare up. I did try to diet again, for the umpteenth time. Then came Mexico and having surgery that would require a permanent life style change with no turning back.
Four months later, I walked the parks, walked the malls, the stores! I walked everywhere! I enjoyed every minute of the parks along with every minute of my grandchildren! I even got on rides!
Success? That's putting it mildly. I was able to eat in restaurants, sharing a meal. I was able to play on the beach and jump in the surf of the Gulf of Mexico. I was able to shop and shop without dropping. I bought new smaller clothes, new cowboy boots for next years CMT Festival, and new jewelry. I fit in the airplane seats without spilling over. And upon arriving home, I was down 5 more pounds. I'd say that was SUCCESS!
