One of the things I wanted to do when I lost weight was go roller skating because I haven't gone since I was a kid and wanted to be good at it. So I asked David to go to the skating rink with me about 6 weeks ago. I told him I was going to go every Saturday. We have gone probably four times out of the last 6 Saturdays. For my birthday he surprised me with my own skates- black with hot pink laces. Prior to my own skates there was a sign at the rink that said Absolutely no skate rentals if over 200#'s. I took my chances and hoped no one would ask me because I am a terrible liar and would have blurted out "I'm 208" if asked. So the first time I went around after not being on skates for years- it took me about 12 minutes to get around the rink just once. I kinda did a weird march/frankenstein walk. Super embarrassing but the upside is the rink is filled without a lot of weirdos who are actually pretty accepting. :) For whatever reason- every Saturday it still takes me a couple times around to remember how to do it... and I'd be lying if I said I was great at it or really fast- but I am much better and having fun. I don't hold David's hand anymore and while he glides past on rollerblades- I stick to my skates and try to think about what else I want to learn now that I'm on my way to a smaller size. Beyond blessed and loving my life and my new self. 💗

This is wonderful David’s Princess! I’m so happy for you☺️. I used to roller skate and roller blade as a kid all the time at our local rink. I haven’t been since I was 11. Honestly I think roller blading is waaay easier, and I could go much faster, and with less practice. May have to get myself a pair now🤩

WTG!!! Gongrats on your skates. I'am certain your personal skates are much comfier that the rink's rentals. I love to ice skate and try to go now and then--still wobbly as it was 20+ years. So I get it. The rink skates hurt so bought my my own and they are wearing supportive slipper!!! Now only if I could wear shoes that comfy everyday.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun! It reminded me of when all I did was roller skate (never roller bladed) I played a lot of street hockey as a kid.

Thanks you guys! Madfox- I got wrist braces because I cannot fall either. Roboto- tell him if he doesn't go with you- you're going alone and you'll find someone for the couple's skate. LMAO. Hangry, Leilei,Wholefood, Kennyn- sounds like everyone should go skating. Thanks JC, Ada, Missourimama. Anna Bear- It was a very happy day! 💕

🤔 what is your Roller Derby name/alter ego...? Hmmmm

I never could stand up on ice skates, but I went to the Arena Roller Rink in Buffalo, NY, for much of my grade school career. I could skate backwards, but that's the only "fancy" thing I did. I went back once, about 35 years ago, with my stepdaughters. No more skating for this Mrs. Granny-Pants! But I had fun back when!
