Before I started losing weight, I was at the hospital visiting my grandpa. A volunteer who drove the little shuttle thingy to the front door came to me as I was walking across the parking lot, and asked me if I needed a ride to the MATERNITY section of the hospital...I was so mortified I wanted to die!! I would say that was my defining moment...I will never be mistaken for pregnant again! Ok, your turn!!!

    My little sister (who is adopted) was about 7 years old and with me in a plus size store changing room. She looked at me and said... do you even have a belly button?

    She meant well but it still hurt.

    when teachers in high school thought you were pregnant. :/ Take it, I just graduated and I'm still a virgin, but it still hurt. :/

    The day I couldn't fit on the roller coaster and had to send my baby brother who was 8-9 years old at the time ALONE on it by himself.

    My high school math teacher asked me several times if I was pregnant. I'm not sure if he meant it as a joke or if he was serious but it hurt pretty bad.

    this isn't mine personally but I used to work at Six Flags New England as a ride operator, and sometimes I would have to be the one checking seat belts. Telling people that it wouldn't be safe for them to ride because I couldn't buckle their seat belt or push down the harness... ouch :/ I always felt so bad for them.

    Mine would be going shopping with a girl I really liked and the enire time she asked me why I wasn't trying on any clothes.. I was too ashamed to tell her I shop plus size. Sad.

    I was taking a walk around my neighborhood, and a guy driving past yelled out the window "Go on a f***ing diet fatso" at me

    I think the OP was talking about your most embarrassing moment, not some *kitten*' in a car.

    There are so many! Luckily I have a sense of humor! The most recent was when I was outside sitting in one of those cheap plastic white lawn chairs that you buy at Walmart and when I stood up it came up with me. I was wedged so deeply into the chair it was stuck to my butt!

    Sitting in an airline seat and desperately trying to reduce the size of my hips so the guy next to me wouldn't have to touch me. Of course, I failed. Poor guy. He was miserable the entire trip.

    Not being able to fit into an amusement park ride at the boardwalk.

    I had to sit there while the attendants tried to stuff the protective bar into place and lock me in.
    Finally, they gave up and I had to do the walk of shame in front of a few dozen snickering on-lookers wondering what the hold up was.

    I cried and wanted to go home. Then ended up feeling even worse knowing I had ruined the whole day for everyone because of my insecurity and weight.

    It makes me want to cry thinking about it now... :'(

    The day I couldn't fit on the roller coaster and had to send my baby brother who was 8-9 years old at the time ALONE on it by himself.

    This was my first one. I got to a point where my husband could "squeeze" me into roller coaster seats by a lot of pushing on the harnesses. One day he just couldn't get the harness down enough. They took me off the ride, and he insisted on getting off with me, and I told him to go ahead and ride. What's worse is that had to release everyone else's harnesses to get me out of the seat, so everybody knew.

    But the defining moment that happened to me was that I had tried getting pregnant for almost 6 months. I couldn't, so I visited my doctor, and she told me I had to lose 50 pounds before she'd even CONSIDER giving me fertility meds because of my weight.

    I've actually lost enough already that I am ovulating for the first time in my life, but I don't ever want my weight to be an issue again, so I've put off getting pregnant until next July and I'm working on getting my body right before then.

    I was also congratulated for being pregnant. I've never had a flat belly, but gees! She was a nice old lady at church - I know she meant well, but that hurt more than I wanted to admit.
    I was wearing a dress for the first time in months that day because I had lost 4 pounds. I was feeling great until that moment.

    Mine was right after I had gained my "freshman 15" (more like 30) in college and worked at a summer camp with little kids. One day we went to the pool and 3 of them kept poking my tummy and asking if I was pregnant and why was I so "squishy." :grumble:

    I've had many fat moments. From getting called pregnant....to grabbing a size of jeans that you think fit and think are a big enough size, but turns out they are still too small. :(

    I was walking up the three flights of stairs to my apartment and getting winded every time. Seriously, I couldn't walk up 20 stairs without breaking a sweat? Ugh, that was mortifying for me.

    My boss confessed today that when drunk he told his wife she had "sausage" legs. All I can say is I'm amazed he's still married.

    Truthfully....having sex for the first time with my skinny boyfriend...I felt so fat... AND seeing all of the photos at the last family reunion a year and 40 lbs ago. Its easy when you have clothes on and there's no one to compare yourself to (in photos).

    I've had lots.
    But I think the worst are things like when the guy you like says "I like your personality..."

    LOL, that's the worst!
    At least if they're from strangers you don't know them or care about them.
