I got a problem!

Good morning!
Here's the wonderful thing: My family (me, hubby & 2 kids) have been invited to go on a Florida vacation for 10 days with some friends at the end of May. My husband and kids are so excited! The terrible thing: I don't want to go. I don't want to put on a bathing suit or shorts...etc. I weigh 285 lbs., how can I lose enough weight by then even to be assured that I'll fit in a damn airplane seat!
I don't want to hold my family back from enjoying their lives, but this situation really drives home the fact that I am! Got any advice?
Thanks:)

Ugh Faith.
I say don't worry about it! I was that size about 2 yrs ago and I learned that the tankini's with the little skirts are the best for hiding things. Cover ups are great when you aren't in the water. And one big thing I learned...not that many people think anything of it. That was a huge realization to me! Remember that May is 2 months away and you can lose 15 pounds or more or even just 10 pounds and that not only will make you feel better but you will be more confident since you are heading towards your goal.
I think one of the greatest lessons I have learned just happened recently. If they care about you...be whatever relationship or a man or lady...they will think you beautiful. It is weird at first but then it drives home that "we are wonderfully made" (Psalms).
Hugs hon and don't worry about it...you are a amazing butterfly in your cocoon waiting to emerge into a huge world full of surprises!!!
SHEW...anyone have a mocha frap?? that tired me out :) putting down pom poms and skipping away.
Have fun on your trip to Florida! I'm sure you will have a great time. And don't worry about the plane seats. They are tight, but I can fit in them and I'm sure you will be able to, also.

A vacation CAN BE an excellent diet aid. LOTS of walking and sightseeing. Swimming. Not to mention getting a tan (unless you're a poor Irish girl who goes from Casper to Lobster back to Casper :-( ) so that you look fab when you return home and continue your healthy ways. :-)
I am going for it! I'm going to shop for a swimming suit, buy some capri pants and get my lips sewed shut for 3 months! All your advice and support has been really wonderful. I truly love it here!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
