Just recently experienced my most embarrassing moment last week. I was involved in a car accident on the 15th which totaled my saturn vue. So had to get a rental car for few days and I could not fit behind the wheel nor did the seatbelt fit of most of the ones that I wanted. I ended up with a Tahoe that was too high for me and barely could reach the pedals because seat all the way back. I was SOOOO embarrassed. I did not want to go through that ever again. However, I went car shopping and came across the same situations, but luckily I found a car that fit me and got a seatbelt extender. Guess what? Its a Dodge Charger and it is a smoking hot car...now I want the smoking body to go with it.
I am 5'4" and 516 pounds. I decided then that, it was time to do something about my weight and came across this site through google search.
I am a single mother of 2 children, son 13 and daughter 7. Live in San Diego, Ca.
Anyone out there ever have the same experience?

    You can do it! You have great motivation with your cool car! And do it for your kids, they deserve to have a mom be active with them! It seems most of us have that ah ha moment when we truly realize we have to do something to become healthier.

    Great choice! I have an Avenger myself. I love Chargers and Challengers even more, but the gas mileage got me. I've driven a few chargers and I gotta say that is one hot car! Next comes the hot bod to go with it! You can totally do it!

    I am always looking for new friends, add me if you want. :)

    Mine was I bought new pants to bring to my brother's graduation. I didn't try them on first, because they were the same size that I *thought* I was wearing at the time. Turns out I must have stretched mine out a lot since they were old. I didn't bring any other clothes, so I had to wear the pants that pretty much didn't fit me allll day. It was horrible - not only was I quite obviously spilling out of them, I kept having to go to the bathroom to undo the button for a while so I could breathe.
