I am sure it will catch up with me

I have a excuse. And a point of pride. Yes I am morbidly obese. I am fat, chunky, plus sized, big boned, cushy, or as Nick likes to say "snoogly".
I can also last 30minutes on an ellipitcal. I can walk 2.5 miles at a decent clip.
My stats are "perfect" I go to te doctor once a year, the obgyn, the earring doc hardly ever. But I go to the doctor ever year. and everything is "normal" my blood sugar (after being very low for most of my 20's), my cholesterol, my blood pressure, my cholesterol.
 also realize that I am either a oddity or more likely just lucky so far. Do I aspire to be "thin" no, but I hope for a level of life log health, to at least fit into a size 18.

We went to Disney in August of 2011. It almost killed me. Seriously I can not handle that kind of heat anymore, I have been this fat for years so I hope it's age, but I am sure weight does not help. I got a horrible blister that became infected and ended me up in a scooter for 4days. I could get around fine without otherwise, slow at times but managed, the blister and the foot pain is weight plus family inheirted "tender footness". BUT wht really killed me was the picture from Space Mountain. Disney is generally "fat friendly" Do I ever look like Kate Beckingsale in one of the rides? NO. But space mountain is tight...I got the front seat of our three person pod with Amanda and her BFF behind me. Once the ride is over you can see the picture they take of you screaming as you enter a steep dip. A family of 3 were in front of us. The Dad points to my oversized gut and then to his family says "wow, that is crazy". I did not say anything for fear that Big Nick would hurt the guy. Instead I walked out of the building and preceded to have a melt down, sunglasses on and balled my eyes out.

I do not want that experience again, but I want to do this on my terms, minimal help, and all moxie and determination.
