I’ve never let my weight hold me back though there are times that it seems like it will do it without my permission. I’ve always had the energy for trips and I’ve always had the ability to do what I wanted on trips (though there were those that didn’t believe me). I have had a sleeve gastrectomy in recent years but I’m still considered overweight by most of the world’s standards. This is all to say that I’m ready to go on another trip and I know there are multiple blogs out there talking about traveling while overweight but I’m just going to add another to the crowd.

I don’t really have any tips that I think I wouldn’t tell someone who was smaller then me though. I think the main thing I’d want people to know is if someone is giving you the side eye for “taking up too much room”, screw them. Enjoy your trip and forget about them. Easier said then done of course but you deserve the trip and not their derision.

Not much more to say here – save up and enjoy life, work is meant to supplement your life, not the other way around.
