    Wow! Congratulations! What a wonderful achievement. You should be very proud of this.

    I flew for work on New Years Eve (two plane trips in one day) and for the FIRST TIME, not only did I not have to ask for a seatbelt extender, but I fit in the very tiny seat (small tin-pot country plane) without spilling under the armrest to take over the next person's space AND the seatbelt sat low as it's supposed to (not high at my navel). It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it.

    This does not sound stupid at all. It's a real issue forus 'full figured' people and I would presume something we all stress about when flying. Congratulations....you clearly have been working hard!

    WOOHOO!!! it is not stupid whatsoever.

    At my hightest weight I can remember the arm rest on the planes not coming all the way down. I had to hold it down with my arm.
    Well I flew this past October and I almost thought that maybe they made the seats bigger becuase not only did I fit, there was plenty of room to spare :)

    So I get where you are coming from. GREAT JOB!

    Wow -- that is *such* a big moment!

    I have to admit, I dread flying now for this reason - I still "fit" into the regular seats, but I need a seat belt extender much of the time. Imagine my embarrassment when I was lucky enough to get an emergency exit seat (I'm very tall) and found out that if I couldn't use the regular seat-belt, I couldn't sit there! (I sucked it in, but barely).

    Your story was really inspirational - congrats - I'm very happy for you!
