Most embarrassing "fat" moment....

I had a man use me as a landmark once. told the people he was with, 'No, we parked over there, by that fat girl.' he wasn't even talking to me. it was very matter of fact.

My husband earned a huge trip to Hawaii based on his sales at work and one of the activities they had planned for the group was a helicopter ride. To sign up, you had to list your name and WEIGHT and it was on a form that everyone could see everyone else's information. I weighed 325lbs at the time and there was NO WAY I was going to sign that form, but I really wanted to go. My husband went and said it was awesome.

I got the pregnancy comment but after I had already changed my lifestyle, I think I was down 40 lbs when a woman in our cafeteria (mind you she's probably bigger than I ever was) asked when I had my baby.

people at stores look at you differently than they do skinny people. its like cant i just go to your store to by jewelery. its not like i'm gonna steal your size 2 pants. jerks!

I have way too many. I have never gotten the pregnant one though. I was actually kind of angry at myself when I was ACTUALLY pregnant, and I didnt have a belly the entire time (though I had my son at 7 months).

Looking back at all of my old pictures and seeing myself smiling, but I knew I was miserable. I hate pictures, and still do.

I was at Schlitterbahn with my young nieces. We decided to go down a slide that ended in a shallow pool below. Once I got to the bottom I had trouble getting up (due to my weight) and slipped. I struggled for a good 1-2 minutes trying to get up. I knew I was holding up the ride and panicked a bit. Off to the side of the slide there were some teenage boys snickering at me and I could hear one of them say "Geez, get up fatty". My niece heard them and told me what they said too. I could care less that I was called a fatty (I know I'm fat), what hurt the most was that my niece was there to witness it. I pretended like it didn't bother me, but it really did.

A few months later my niece sent me a text about how she saw a weight loss program on tv and how she thinks that it would help me. She's such a sweet girl and just wants to help me.

This is one of my biggest motivations to get healthy. My nieces and nephew.

I really don't embarrass easily these days, having had to be pulled to my feet from the floor of a shower, naked, by a male orderly and an ex-boyfriend while in hospital pretty much cured me of it. My inability to get up wasn't due entirely to my weight, but also to a prolonged hospital stay.

But climbing that darned hill, red faced, panting, sweating, three steps at a time, as others steadily walked past me, that mortified me. It was also why I refused to stop, and why that hill remains a goal for me. I will climb it again, maybe not with ease, but easier.

What probably should have embarrassed me was having a surgeon presume I was bed ridden due to my size, when I was instead in the ER for a bike accident where I'd shattered my arm. That just pissed me off.

My most embarrassing fat moment was the day I made a comment to my husband about him leaving me because i had gotten so fat. Of course he loves me just the way I am and always has, but he let it slip that years ago right before we got married, when i was much smaller, my dad had sat him down and explained to him that all the women in my family were fat, really fat, and that we only got fatter, and that it had better be something he was willing to deal with. It broke my heart that my dad would say something like that.

Let's see, when the midwife told me (in the middle of active labour) that i should lose some weight. She must have really felt I needed to know that, otherwise why would she risk her job and yes HER LIFE by telling a woman in back labour that she needed to lose weight? The mind boggles.

went to Cancun for our honeymoon, went to the place with ziplines (forgot what its called, XCITE, i think) We were told to each go stand in a single line, she went through the line and told me to go stand over there in another section. I was feeling pretty good thinking this must be a "smaller" harness, until 4 huge guys came and stood next to be. I didnt understand.. I asked the girl who was putting my harness on why they had put me into a big harness, and she tightened it as far as it could go, which was still WAY TO BIG. I was not nearly as big at these guys, i was only 145lbs and these guys were like 200!! they ended up putting me into a regular size harness but I was completely mortified. I cried to my husband, wanted to leave. And there I was walking around in a bikini and obviously looked huge

That was some session Namaste, ahem lol!

I have broke a few chairs in my time, one of which was at school in front of the whole class!! You can imagine how much I was laughed at! I have had to make excuses to not seat in seats I know I won't fit in or that are likely to break. Ugh! Having to tell my friend to buy 2 seats for me when she was buying us train tickets also

I work in textiles, and my colleague was supporting me to learn to make a shirt, for myself. I called one of the stockists to enquire about fabric, and I mentioned it was for 'a shirt'. They suggested that I was mistaken because one shirt wouldn't need that much! I was just like 'Um no, that is right'

Mostly just the usual laughs/looks/comments etc. I have had vry many embarrassing fat moments!!

when my fiance was helping me get ready for his cousin's wedding and he couldn't zip my dress up all the way...

:sad:

Friends saying we should all go eat! Someone new in the group points at me and says we know his answer!

My grandfather told me that I should of worn a belt with the dress I was wearing, but that you need to have a waist to wear a belt so it wouldn't work for me anyway.

This was said in front of my entire family at a Mother's Day get-together at my aunt's house.
I burst into tears & ran out of the house while my both my mom & dad got in my grandfather's for saying such a thing.

Breaking the lawn chair (brand new and all) and my five year old lifting up on my belly and saying "Mommy you're so floppy!"
Yup those were not my best days!
