I know how you feel. I was at SixFlags with my 13 year old brother and was on the Batman ride when they could not close the harness over me and made me get off the ride in front of everyone. I made my brother go on and ride the ride without me. The entire time (about 2 minutes) that he was on the ride, I cried. I made myself stop when he got off so he wouldn't see me, but it has been one small moment that has been a significant impact in my decision to have the surgery. So it looks like we have one of the same motivators.

But don't worry you are never alone, we are all here for you.

awe hunny I know how yah feel. Batman is my favorite ride @ 6flags! My last trip to 6 flags was 3 yrs ago for the same reason. It took them 5mins to get me closed and i have only gained since then. I have been far too ashamed to go back. My reward for losing 150 will be a season pass to 6 flags. Maybe we can make it a forum affair!

*huggles, hang in there we have all been there.*

Yeah for me I think it was my lowest moment, i made my little brother promise not to tell anyone because I was so embarrassed. He was so sweet though ( a rare moment ). He tried to blame it on the ride operators...he said " you fit in Superman, you should have fit in Batmen, they just didn't try hard enough" (Not sure if the ride are the same I was at 6Flags over GA) But I have to look at it as a positive. It made me change. I have always been the "fun" sister. I always took him to the parks in GA and Orlando, but I just haven't been able to lately. I can wait to take him back and be able to ride all the rides and show him that his sister is back.

Oh hun, first off, let me envelope you in a huge hug! The day I went to my doctor to discuss my weight, I cried. That was the last time I cried about my weight. From that day on, I started working towards WLS, and here I am. 9 days post-op eatin applesauce and waiting for the day I can go on roller coasters with my daughter. I too had to get of a ride when the restraints wouldn't fit. Never again. *squish*

I know how you feel and I'm sending you a big hug! It never hurts to try therapy. I cry when I think how big I had gotten. I don't have one mirror in my house that shows anything from the shoulders down still. I couldn't bear to look at myself. I have to go on my porch and try to catch my reflection in the storm door. I know how much you are hurting and I wish I could take it away, but you are gonna have to find a way to work through this. If you need to talk PM anytime. We are all here for you!
