Stranger things have happened. And TP - so interesting you say that about the Disney fans. Being 43 myself, I do not have the bod I had at 18. I am utilizing an array of techniques to aid myself in weight loss and toning. One of THE MOST effective I have done is visual reminders. I actually found online a picture of a, let's say, rather portly male Disney fan(wearing an ill-fitting character t-shirt), photographed at an event, printed it out and laminated it. I affixed it to the sun visor in my car and every time I am driving around for my job and feel like pulling into a fast food drive through, I simply flip the visor down and VOILA!!! And no - I am NOT kidding! Visual aids can be REMARKABLY effective in changing behaviours!

Many other adults were quite clearly working through some emotional issues regarding Disney characters, or simply had developmental disabilities or intense social handicaps. It wasn't a comfortable environment to be in, and so I left. And vowed to start going to the gym again. <<< I guess that's why I have lost weight since I stopped posting here on a regular basis. >>> And I can only imagine what some of the Burbank execs must think of their most passionate customers.<<< I think they pretty much revealed what they think of the fans in that "in your face" eating habits superheroes exhibit they opened at EPCOT Center some time ago...you know, the one that closed within a week after obese people took offense?? Then again, they know how to please the fans, hence the Disney Dining Plan. And Brad.. that pic you printed not better be mine...

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Well, you never know.. I mean, I have been on the porky side.

While they were doing that, I was riding HKDL's phenomenal Mystic Point Manor...and what a ride it is!!! I wouldn't trade that for D23 at all.

Originally Posted By Brad I am overweight myself. Except, I am trying to do something about it for my own health and future and to ensure I can enjoy theme parks into my 60's and 70's. The fact that I am using some positive reinforcement is simply one of many techniques I am employing and is smart on my part.
