Creator's Key Takeaways

I am out trying to get some exercise and today's vlog we're gonna talk about what it means to be a fat person on a cruise

I tried to squeeze into the f1 simulator and I got in there but I couldn't move my arms and I couldn't get out so it was horrible

I was super-embarrassed so once I got over the terror of trying to get out of this thing and worrying about being stuck it was pure embarrassment

I don't want to miss this adventure to Asia I don't want to miss out on anything else on the cruise ship and so that is really motivating me
