1st Movie since weight loss :)

So it's been over a week since this happened but I went to see a movie. As someone who has been overweight I have always dreaded going to the movie theater. Lets not even give the thought about the price being a factor. But I gotta say, Holy Smokes!! I couldn't afford to go often anyway. It's a good thing I been to embarrassed to go for so long. I would be even poorer than I am now. Anyway, moving on. Well like I'm sure most overweight people have done in the same scenario is worry the experience to no end. How big are the seats, will there be enough room?, can I even fit in the seat?, If so will I be comfortable. Lets not even give the whole dating thing a shot here, because lets face it as someone who has been single for a while that opens up a whole can of worms about the not wanting to eat with someone I don't know and then worrying about not fitting comfortably in the seat at the theater. Because also as being overweight you don't want to even think about having to do anything physical, like walking to show the opposite sex just exactly how out of shape you really are when you winded going up a flight of stairs.
Again, moving on. this a positive post. So I met a co-worker for some resale shopping, lunch (kinda awkward cuz I can't really eat that much) and then a movie. Shutter Island.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!~ And the movie was good too. What a day! I made my way to the seat and did the whole, put the seat down 1st, so I could sit on the edge then slide back between the arm rests and not get stuck. I did not realize until after I had to get back up for something and when I sat back down I DIDNT have to slide between the arm rests. I fit in the seat! I fit comfortably in my seat. In fact, my seat was really roomy. I don't remember ever going to a movie and having a roomy seat. It wasn't very comfy in all aspects. I mean, I really never did have much of a butt and so I couldn't sit still without. So sorry to whomever sat behind me. I really don't mean to have to squirm, just cant help it :) What an amazing feeling. What a day it was. I am still not very comfortable in my own skin but I am getting closer. :)
But for now, I need to close. I am way beyond tired now. I have tons more to say but I truly should not be typing more tonight because I prefer for my my posts to make sense, lol

Until next time,
