Ways Losing Weight is Like Disney World

Summer’s winding down, and folks are getting in those last vacations before the back-to-school grind kicks in. Truthfully, I’ve never, ever been to Disney World (I convinced my children it was a myth), but I’ve heard so many people talk about going that I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of what it’s all about. From what I gather, going there is a lot like a successful weight loss journey…

• You find yourself among an odd assortment of characters
• It will absolutely wear you out
• You know you’re gonna wind up on a rollercoaster
• There’s a big crowd of people all in the same place as you
• You’ll often find yourself stuck in one place and not moving at all
• You should take a lot of photos to remind you of your trip
• It’s a great thing to do for your kids
• A solid plan will make the journey more successful
• It’s something the whole family can do
• It’ll make you feel young again
• Some folks have to come back over and over
• Insert your own “It’s a Small World” joke here
• There’s something magical about it
• When you tell people what you’re doing, everybody’s got advice for you
• Eating what you want will cost you plenty
• You’re excited to get started, but you’re even happier when it’s over
