I recently flew on two different airlines over the past month. JetBlue is amazing. Period. They need to fly everywhere so I can NEVER use another airline!
Things I noticed about traveling now:
NO seatbelt extender! No ASKING for a seatbelt extender! (With your flight attendent loudly asking "Camille, do you have an seatbelt extender for the passenger in 16D?" or worse, them forgetting about it and you have to ask them TWICE!!)
Room beside me to put the armrest down. Phew!
I didn't get that familiar look of "OMG, PLEASE DON'T LET HER SIT NEXT TO ME!" as I walk down the aisle to my seat.
This was all SO BIG for me. BIG BIG BIG. The freedom and lack of anxiety was palpable!
My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!
