Everyone has embarrassing moments. I know some are willing to share them and I respect your decision if you chose not to share. I have a TON of moments that were so embarrassing that my first thought was, " I really need to lose weight NOW!"
I'll go first since I started this......About 2 years ago I was at sixflags with some friends. The superman ride just opened that weekend and I wanted to ride it so bad. I was 316lbs at the time. I was able to ride a lot of the rides. I thought," I've ridden most everything I wanted to ride today so I'm sure I'll be able to ride the new superman ride." Of all my friends that went with me, only one was actually interested in waiting in the long line to ride it. 3 hours later it's finally our turn to get in the seat. There were 3 seat belts and 2 of the 3 did not click. I tried and tried to suck it in but it wouldn't work. Even 2 of the workers tried their hardest to make the seat belt click. It was bad enough that 2 workers were trying to get me in, but what made it worse is that one was saying things like ," try to push it in," and ," maybe hold your boobs in and suck in at the same time." Tons of people in line started laughing and I just wanted to cry. And to top it all off, when my other friends asked me how the ride was, I had to tell them that I waited all the time in line and had to get off b/c I didn't fit.

My worst one was when I was dress shopping for my brothers wedding at lane bryant. I refused to accept that I was really too big for their clothes anymore. I kept trying to squeeze myself into the size 28s. I actually got stuck IN a dress. I pulled it up over my head and it just wouldnt go any farther. I pulled it back down and tried going down over my hips.... even less of a chance. So back over my head it went. It just wouldnt budge. my arms stuck up in the air.... I just cried. I finally had to ask for help from the sales lady to get out.0

I've had a moment similar. I was at the mall and I got stuck in a dress and I wound up ripping the dress b/c I was struggling so hard to get it off.0 -
Interesting enough, mine was also a roller coaster that I didn't fit in at King's Dominion. I can't remember what it is called, but it is indoor and goes 0-70 in less than 3 seconds. I loved it when I was growing up, but when I was 22 I didn't fit in it. I didn't take a lot of time trying to fit, I knew it wasn't gonna happen the moment I sat down. I just cried.0

I have a "fat moment" every time I go clothes shopping with my close friends from high school.
It seems like whenever they try on clothes, they fit perfectly. But when I try them on, they squeeze my fat and hang loose where they shouldn't...I look like a box on stick legs. Even when they're not around, I feel the same. So shopping for new clothes is extremely rare for me.0 -
When I went to sit at the end of the dinner table against the wall. My daughter was sitting there and fitted easy enough. I was doing something in the kitchen and I couldn't be bothered going to my seat around the other side squezing behind a bunch of people. My daughter had already left the table to play. Sooooo I went to sit in her seat, and I couldn't fit! the edge of the table was cutting into my gut! OMG people at the table were staring at me as I tried to casually bring the chair around the corner a bit while sucking in my gut. THAT WAS SO EMBARRASING0

Ohhh, my bad. You will get there!0 -
Pretty much every time I've been at a booth in a restaurant and the frickin' table juts into my tummy fat.
Also, when I almost took out a row of chairs at my university's graduation because the rows weren't quite far enough apart for me to get through gracefully.0 -
I was at the carnival and I wanted to get on the swings. Well...my *kitten* didn't fit into the swing seat..so I tried to force it in there. No go. Everyone pretty much pointed and laughed. Thing is...my *kitten* is really not that big.0

when i was 280lbs, i couldnt get on a roller coaster because the safety bar wouldnt go all the way down to lock. I was soo embarassed0

when i was younger probably about 13/14 and i was chubby at school and very low in confidence. I had a crush on a girl in my Spanish class, and i told her friend that i liked her. And she went across the room to tell the girl i liked, to which she shouted out 'euuurgghh as if i would go out with you' in front of the whole class! really hurt me and stuck with me for years. Funny thing was i saw the same girl i had the crush on at my local gym a few months ago, and she almost didnt recognise me, she was quite complimentary and flirty with me, i thanked her for her advances and then said no thanks!
Also many times at school being bullied from about 13-16 years old, the constant jibes and name calling by certain kids.
Really sticks with you and still does today for me, even ten years later0 -
Well, I broke my grandmother's porch swing when I sat on it, which was probably the most embarassing. What hit me the hardest, however, was being turned away by the Red Cross when I went in for a regular blood donation. Something's seriously wrong when they choose not to take a unit of A- (my blood pressure was too high, which started when my weight hit a certain high point).0

When my Dad said "Wow, you've gained som weight!" Gee thanks Dad:grumble:0

When I was getting measured for a corset with my friends in a renaissance club on campus and my waist was almost twice as big as most of my friends. Theirs were 28 inches, mine was 44. I've gotten a lot smaller since then though. XD0
-
So many things...but I will give the examples that finally made me realized it was time to do something.
We bought a brand new bed. I actually broke it.
I went to my niece's wedding and broke the chair I was sitting in.
These memories even though I can still feel the pain, were a life saving experience. Because I had hit rock bottom.:embarassed:0 -

I'm going to go with pretty much every time I have had to sit on a plane as an adult. One time, I said out loud like a dumb a**, "dang these seats just jet smaller and smaller." LMAO!!0

Not being able to ride a rollercoaster and my exboyfriend being able to fit into my pants.0

I've been fat all my life, and there are many moments that stick out, but I think the worst one for me was when I was volunteering as a red cross first aider after a tornado came through in 2002. We had been at the shelter working since late afternoon, and it was early morning. One of the restaurants had donated food to the shelter, and the red cross workers were told not to eat, and to let the storm victims go first. Everyone except me. They thought I was pregnant and told me to go eat. 0

It was Easter last year and I was at church.
A woman came up to me after service, grabbed my hands and said "I'll be praying that you have a baby boy."0 -
It was a long time ago, but I asked this guy out in school and he said no. I asked him why, he said I was homely. I told him I didn't know what that meant so he gave me a dictionary to look it up, and then told me that I was also too fat and that the only cows he needed in his life were on his farm.
Homely: (of a person) Unattractive in appearance.
That was the first and last time I EVER asked a guy out.0 -
when my daughter in the 2nd grade cried because a boy in her class told her her mommy was fat.0

Some guy was in a rage over something in a store and came at me after I accidentally opened my car door against his vehicle.
It was raining, I was not paying attention, and it was stupid of me.
A total accident.
Anyway, he wanted to fight, so we started fighting, and I was so fat that I slipped and fell right on my big butt, and he started laughing at me.
It was quite humiliating.0 -
when my overweight Aunt gave me all her fat clothes0
