I'm having a minor panick-ish attack due to my size, and while I know it will be over soon, I couldn't think of a better group than you all to share it with :)
Some of you may remember my story in April-ish about the trip that I took with my band up to Atlanta. We went to Six Flags Over Georgia while we were there. At the time, I was wearing about a 20, and I carry the majority of my weight in my hips/stomach. That one theme park almost ruined my whole trip. I left almost every one of the roller coasters sobbing...to my absolute and utter embarassment, I didn't fit. In most of the coasters, including the few that I really wanted to go on. I ended up opting out of the last two or three. There were maybe 2 that I could fit into, and even then I was so uncomfortable that I didn't enjoy the rides at all. One of my good friends is a size 12, and even she was squished into some of them. My self esteem plummeted.
Tomorrow I'm planning on taking a trip up to Busch Gardens Tampa with a large group of my friends, and my currently 22/24 sized self is absolutely terrified. I did my research, and apparently Busch Gardens has "size-friendly" seats on most of their coaster. While this is comforting, I can't help the growing voice of dread that's telling me "you're just too fat to ride any of the fun rides". I have some amazing friends, and I know that they won't judge me, regardless of what happens, but...
fellow fatshionistas, have any of you ever been in this situation? How did you deal with it? I really don't want my fear ruining my vacation.
And now for something a bit more fashion related. I found the perfect bag last week- at Old Navy, even. It's brown courdoroy, fits all of my stuff, and is absolutely adorable. Slouchy and soft :) And best of all, it was only $10!
