Most embarrassing "fat" moment....

I know I have many but hard to think of and a few just hard to post. I think all of my nieces and nephews have made comments when they were little but I laugh it off and tell them they have a big butt or a big mouth or tell them it is not very nice. I remember being 3-4 years old and watching sesame street and learning opposites and walked up to our elderly neighbor and telling her that she was old. She said she wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the day. She wasn't serious but I felt bad especially since I had thought I was so dang smart for figuring that out. So I give little kids a break lol.

The most recent embarrassing moment that really stands out in my mind and has affected my behavior was being on a small airplane and not only feeling like my chub was overflowing into the aisle because there was someone sitting next to me but actually having to ask for a belt extender because I could not get the frikkin' thing snapped. There was just no way it was going to happen. I'd just gotten off of a jumbo jet where I didn't have the problem, but smaller plane means smaller seats and seating area. I was so embarrassed. I felt like I was one step away from them telling me I needed to pay for two seats. Now I refuse to get on a plane until I've lost enough weight that I won't be the "overhanging into the next person's seat" fatty. My family gets frustrated because they try to arrange trips for everyone to get together on a weekend and I refuse to fly there. Since driving is a 3 day round trip not including visitation time, that means I don't go. My husband legitimately hates flying and airports, so I have a bit of a smokescreen, but when they suggest I could pop down for the weekend by myself, I mumble around without giving the real reason because there's no way I'm going to tell them I'm not coming for a visit because I'm too embarrassed to be The Fatty On The Plane.

I only remember one (the rest were probably behind my back; I didn't gain weight until university so school was fine but I lacked confidence in other ways). And it was from my mom so it hurt worse. I had lost some weight and she said something like "When you lost more you'll be pretty again." I guess she saw on my face what she'd said because she quickly amended what she'd said and I don't think she meant it to come out that way.....but this was over 10 years ago and I still remember it.
