One of the things I always worry about when I go on an out of the country vacation, is if I will fit in the rides when we visit the theme parks. I never want to keep my hopes up so I always tell my boyfriend and friends that I'm not gonna join in the ride in advance - and tell them to please not persuade me to ride because its embarrassing if I don't fit.


Fortunately, in Universal Studios Singapore, there are already sample ride seats in front of every attraction. In this way, curvy girls like me can check if we fit before we join the line. So there I was trying the sample seats of Battlestar Galactica and it looks like I fit! Me and my boyfriend went ahead and joined the line as we reach our turn - the attendant was having a hard time securing my seat. At that time, I already lost hope and was ready to get off my seat and leave the ride... But the attendant tried his best to forcefully lock my seat and he succeeded!

Its been a while since I last rode roller coaster rides because of my weight so it really means a lot to be able to ride this time! Special thanks to the attendant who didn't gave up on me and to Universal Studios Singapore for hiring staffs who didn't discriminate plus size girls like me.

Lesson I learned:

I have been obese since my high school year. I know I have to lose weight but I never had the persistence to stick to my diet. After my USS experience, I realize instead of wishing the theme parks have a seat for plus size like me - why not lose the unnecessary weight and not have to worry if I will fit the rides. I have the power to change my life yet I never pushed myself to really lose the weight.

And so now I embark on the journey of going on a diet for 100 days. Its only been two weeks and I have had more cheat days than I should. But what matters is that I don't give up and just keep going. Today, I lost a total of 3 kilos and I couldn't be happier. Now let's work harder!
