Hi everyone!
Been through big changes in quarantine. In January I was close to 270lbs. Since I was around 17 I hovered above 250lbs. I'm in California and love going to theme parks or "did" until something happened...
I was going on one of the popular rides at Universal and was asked to move to an outside seat because the overhead bar didn't click on me enough. On another fast ride, I remember the attendant spending an extra 15 seconds trying to push my seatbelt in because it almost didn't fit. I still got on but was so humiliated. I was with my friends when it happened.
I think this kind of traumatized me in a way, and I lost all joy from theme parks because of that embarrassment. I know that my weight was somewhere around 255lbs when that happened because I weighed myself when I got home and cried for hours.
I'm 19 now and this past quarantine I've lost a lot of weight. I weigh around 203lbs as of now and of course still losing every day! I'm 5'7 for reference. I used to get so much joy from going to theme parks and now all I can think about when I think of going is the fear of being too "fat" for rides.
I recently decided to get the nerve up to get a pass again. I'm just scared that I won't fit or they are going to struggle fitting me in the ride like what happened last time. I know there are test seats outside but I feel it's fairly obvious what I'm doing? Testing to see if I fit because I fear I'm too fat?
I guess I'm just looking for advice! I don't mean for this post to come off as depressed etc, more just advice. Should I lose more weight before I go? My main issue is that I have a really big stomach and thighs so for some rides that really scares me..
If there's any videos too of people going on rides that would be very helpful, also any measurements or experienced anyone has too!
