Most embarrassing "fat" moment....

Two really stick out:
1. Went to my cousin's swanky wedding, and sat down (as I usually do) on the edge of the rickety wood slat chairs. Yep, that chair broke, I fell to the ground, and as the sound echoed through the giant marble library, everyone turned to gasp and stare.
2. On a flight for work, I was booked in the middle seat and couldn't change it. sandwiched between a big (not fat) guy who was decent the entire flight, and a middle-aged business jerk who I saw out of the corner of my eye, texting his wife about how he was "stuck next to this woman who is so huge..."

I SO would have called him out for that.. but Im obnoxious.. lol

When I was about 3 months pregnant with my youngest son, my Aunt said to me infront of other family members who I hadn't seen in awhile "How far along are you now?" and I said "3 months" and she said "Only 3 months? Why are you so fat?" .. That is not the first time that particular Aunt has called me fat. She's such a b*tch.


Or another time last year, a few months after I had just had my middle son.. I was outside of my apartments where I used to live and this one chick who lived in the same apartments was outside. I think she liked my husband because she was always talking to him.. and I barely ever talked to her except the occasional "Hi" when I saw her out there.. Well she stared at me for awhile and then said right infront of my husband and a couple other people "You are getting fat... I thought you were losing weight when I saw you before but you're just gaining weight"... Then after she said that nobody knew what to say.. I was sooo embarrassed. I swear I wanted to punch her. And the funny thing about that is this girl was probably the same size as me or bigger. She thought she was hot. I've hated her ever since. lol

i got stuck in between a Spinning Bike at the gym. i got STUCK bc my legs weakend and i slipped in between the handle bars and seat.... talk about discouragement--- and no one helped

Haha! I had the same thing happen the first time I went to spin class. I'm hanging from the handle bars and the straps on the pedals. The lady next to me says I need to reduce the tension. No, I was thinking I needed someone to come get me off this tortue device.

I have been asked if I am pregnant.
My worst one was when we went out to eat at Golden Corral and my daughter's friend (then 4years old) came along with us and she whispered something to my husband who then said "that's not a nice thing to say" I asked what she said, "Ivana is fat."
I was mortified, children speak the truth, and that was the first tme I had it put to me so bluntly and honestly. I felt gutted!!

ugggghhh.. definitely when a child in my daughter's preschool class (age 3) came up to me, put a hand on my stomach and said "hey, what's in your tummy? what's in there?" I tried to ignore her, but she kept asking! so then my daughter comes home and starts asking when the baby is going to come out of my tummy.. I told my daughter that I was not pregnant and she better not ask me that again!! Of course her reply was, "Well, then why is your tummy so big???" So humiliating!

I get the pregnant comment at least once a month from complete strangers...in the elevator, at work, at the store, name it. Even if I would like to say it doesn't hurt me anymore, it does and I want to hide myself under a rock after...

The worst comment was at the movies, seeing a movie that was not out yet, they check your bags and check you with a metal detector. Moron in front of us (in the lineup) decides that i'm pregnant and starts saying that they'll make sure the baby doesn't have a camera, that the baby will be scanned too, watch out little baby and all the excitement that goes with it, like feeling like you're so funny but I want to crack your skull funny. I froze, bf froze, the guy didn't get it and wouldn't stop, got in the room as far as I could from it and cried.

I usually reply with the 'I'm just fat" comment.

I was on a date (years ago) we went to a concert, we were late. We couldn't find ANY parking, so finally we found a spot we had to park real close to another car. He got out and walked around to my side. I couldn't fit out the door, I climbed into the back seat to try the back door, still wouldn't fit, we had to go find another parking spot, and that took like 15 minutes. I could tell he was irritated. I wanted to D I E E E E E E E E E E.


I still get embarrassed thinking about it, Omg! Depressing.

why didnt he let you out, then park the car?

Sitting in the medical clinic holding my hospital records with the words MORBIDLY OBESE stamped in bright red letters about two inches high on both the front and back of the records. (This was pre HIPA days in a military clinic)

Everytime I look in the mirror.

One time my dad and I stood in line for a ride at Disney World for at least two hours only to be told that we were BOTH too fat. I was 13 or 14 at the time. Hard to believe.

Easily... sitting in a recliner drinking a beer and having my roommate's female friend say I looked like Homer Simpson. :frown: :embarassed:

The closest call was when I nearly had to ask for a seat belt extender on the plane to Talinn, Estonia last year. To be fair, we were going on a super cheap airline that has tiny seats, but part of me thinks that mentality is just trying to make an excuse.

But probably having to get off rides because I couldn't fit (or was told by the crew, once I'd paid AND GOT on, that I would have to get off because I was too fat. They wouldn't give me a refund, ever, even though I was in tears and they'd said it loud enough for EVERYONE to hear. You could have thought they would give me a quiet word when I got to the front of the queue, no?

When I was 320 lbs (70 lbs away from my heaviest) I was on a flight, buckled in (the seatbelt barely fit - was digging into my waist) and from the front of the plane the flight attendant yells, "Excuse me sir? You in the black shirt, did you need a seatbelt extender so you can get buckled in?"
Mortified

When my husband asked me why I wasn't wearing my wedding ring. I was 110 when we married 30 years ago and I was 175 when I came to this site. I had to tell him why and he just looked at me. Those rings will fit me again in a few months.

Had to get my ring sized up twice. Very embarrassing.. Keep at it though, now I have to make sure my ring doesn't slip off

I went to vertical world and they had these swing ropes.. Long story short I got one of those ropes tied on me, climbed to the highest step on the ladder, jumped and my weight was so high that the guy on the other end of the rope "the tamer" was the one flying and I was standing. Embarrising but true.
