Embarrassing fat stories!

That sounds like a nightmare regardless of your size! But it's certainly a good motivation to lose weight.

My story isn't necessarily that embarrassing, but it embarrassed me enough to kick start my weightloss with MFP.

I went to stay with an old friend I hadn't seen in a while about 3 months ago. I knew I had put on weight, about 20lbs at least, but I didn't realise how unfit I had actually become until we went out to do some touristy sight-seeing. I couldn't believe how out of breath I was and tired just walking up/down stairs or trying to keep up with my friend. They didn't say anything about it but I could tell they had noticed. My friend also took a few photos of me and when they sent them to me after I got back from the trip I couldn't believe how many chins I had!

That was a wake up call for me and since that trip I have lost 13lbs. I guess the embarrassment shocked me out of my weight-gain denial. I still want to lose about 50lbs but that god-awful photo spurs me on to lose more weight and return to one, or possibly two chins!

I habitually had plumber's crack while I was overweight, all throughout middle school and high school- even with wearing a belt, it wasn't till I lost 20 lbs that my pants started sitting higher.

Quite a few people have seen my butt crack...

OH MY GOSH! I think my story tops ALL of your stories! LOL

I went to an amusement park with my friends and we go to get on the first rollercoaster of the day. I was SOOO excited bc I LOVE rollercoasters, however, I didn't even think about all the weight that I had gained or how it would effect me actually FITTING INTO a rollercoaster!! SOOOOOOo FAST FORWARD to the moment of horror when I had 3 workers trying to SHOVE The safety bar down over my HUGE BOOBS...I kept telling them to STOP and that I didn't want to go but they were like OBSESSED! I could feel my face burning red and just trying to NOT look at the people who were staring or turning around to see what the hold up was. It was the most horrifying moment of my entire life and I will never forget it. Finally I just pushed them away and got the hell outta there making sure to just look at the floor. I could hear people talking and laughing...I really thought I was going to throw up from embarrassment.

Anyway...all I can say is that I survived that and all of those negative experiences have made me a more compassionate person towards ANY AND EVERYbody that is seen as "different".

I feel your pain!!! I went on a rollercoaster. At first I couldn't get the belt around e me and one of the workers had to help me. But THEN as it was climbing and was nearing the top ... THE BELT POPPED OPEN!! I managed to get it back together before the first fall but it was a very close call. I didn't let go of the bar the entire time because I thought it would pop open again! Thank goodness it wasn't one that went upside down.

When I was at my heaviest, the largest part of me was my butt.
I knocked things down regularly with my butt when squeezing through tight spaces. It's like my butt had a mind of its own.
Very embarrassing in stores and at restaurants. It even knocked little children down:-(
Now, I really delight in comfortably walking anywhere no matter how small the space or aisle.

being maid of honor in my best friends wedding and having to wear completely different dress than all the other brides maids because that one didn't come in my size.

this is awful I'm so sorry

I was maid of honour for my sister but she let me pick the design because not everything looks good on a bigger person and the other 4 were skinny so they could pull off anything. Once we had the design she refused to buy the dresses from anywhere that didn't have my size.

it really meant a lot that she was willing to do that for me

Was mistaken for being pregnant and the person rubbed my belly, afterwards. Fortunately, it was someone I knew and liked. Sad day that was...

Don't feel bad. More than one person asked me if I was pregnant this past summer. No bueno....

Toward the end of my last deployment, we had a Dress Blues inspection to ensure everyone was ready for the Homecoming. I hadn't worn mine in close to a year with a 20lb weight gain. So here I am getting ready, when a button pops off my blazer and shoots across the berthing right before the inspection. I'm running/screaming, "My button!!! Someone help me find my button!!!". One of the girls from my shop was crying because she was laughing so hard.

We found it, sewed it back on, then I had to explain to my Chief why we were late for inspection. She was off the hook, but I had to wear mine again the next day as punishment for being late, smh.

OMG, I forgot about the Dress Uniform inspections! I've always liked the Blues better because I could "conceal" my fat better than the Whites, even though the pants were cutting off my circulation. I was so happy when we finally got cammies....

Not necessarily due to my weight but I was at a water park and went down a water slide. At the end of this slide, there was this funnel-like structure that my wife and I call the toilet bowl. One time I went down, somehow I got turned around and dropped out of it head first. Unfortunately, my trunks did not fall as fast as I did and the lifeguard got to see more than she cared to see.

@ emeraldvssilv Your sister rocks! That is super nice, sweet and thoughtful.

@ chel325 Thank you so much. You just made my day.

Almost all the time when ever i meet new people they think i am elder than my sister who is actually 8 years older than me and i am teased by many people for my weight ifeel so bad

I went to the NASA museum with a friend, and they had something like a ride that simulates space flight (or something like that, don't remember exactly what it was), and there was a sign on it indicating a 150-pound weight limit. I probably weighed 180-190 at the time, and was too embarrassed to say so, so I pretended that I was afraid to go on rides like that. Which was also embarrassing.

Bump!

Last year when I started this journey I couldn't even walk 50 yards without severe back pain. I had let it go and kind of gave up on everything, including mobility. The first step to this process was obviously getting my back looked at, I went to the Doctor and they scheduled an MRI. I got the courage up to go have it done... and didn't fit into the machine. They offered me to go to the zoo and have an MRI done, or drive to another city and use a bigger machine.. obviously I went and used the other machine.. not at the zoo.
