Had what feels like a fantastic Xmas gift yesterday

It probably doesn’t actually count as a present but it thrilled me!

went with my friend and her daughters to a fairground yesterday (a mini winter wonderland style thing) and they begged me to go on something with them, I cautiously did, had a blast and went on everything else (for an obscene amount of cash!)

The gift was the fact that I fitted! Up until this year I didn’t fit on them, either bars didn’t close or my weight was too high and I got asked to get off, I’ve done the ride walk of shame so many times over 12y…but I’ve lost 85 kilos over the last few years and although I have more to lose, I’m finally a size that means I can live life and I can’t get my head around how great it feels!

im not sure why I’m starting a thread, I just want to talk about it I think! And I’m spending Christmas with my parents so have so far had 3 weight related comments 🙃

pass the wine…except not because my mother will tell you the calories in that….

Oh congratulations! And can relate to all of this though sadly managed to gain a chunk back... it's going though, I'm determined to fit well into life by the spring.

Fit well into life is such a good way of putting it!
