Determined to NOT be fat on my next WDW vacation

[allykat]

Hi guys! I hope I can join your group. This is the year that I decided I'd get my weight under control once and for all! I've been overweight what seems like forever, and I'm sick of it getting in the way of my life! I've shunned pictures so long that my children will one day wonder if I was ever on all those WDW vacations!

I started low carb in January and just recently had lap band surgery at the end of February. That was a scary thing to do, but I've lost weight before only to gain it all back, and I am determined that this time will be different! Since beginning on January 7th, I've lost 25 lbs. I have much more to go, but I finally feel like I have the determination and the tool I need to get this piece of my life in order. I just don't get it - I can run my department at work, manage my family, complete my master's degree - but I can't seem to get the weight off and keep it off!

THIS is my year. And to celebrate, I'm planning a Christmas Disney trip! I'm excited and fired up! Anyone else with me?

Its so easy to put yourself second to everyone/everything else but remember this, if you dont start putting yourself first then you wont be around long enough to even be second priority in your lift!! Make the mental change and put yourself first!!!!

We're here for support any time you need it! Drop me a PM and I'd love to chat! We can cheer each other on!

I am not new to the DIS Boards but I am new to the W.I.S.H. Board. This board is really great! I am also going to WDW in December. I have been on WW a few times but lost interest. I am back at WW (I am doing the CORE Plan) AGAIN!! But I am trying to stay committed to it this time. One of the reasons is because I do not want to be fat at Disney again this year. We went last summer and I was so unhappy. There is only one picture from our whole vacation with me in it. And the only reason I was in it was because my DD and I saw my favorite character (baloo!!). But I made a promise (a pinky promise as she calls it) to my DD, that next time we go to Disney that I would lose weight and buy a swim suit and go swimming with her. So I really have to do it this time, plus I really need to do it for myself. This trip is a surprise for her, so me buying a swimsuit and go swimming with her will be an added surprise for her!
