My Goal Is To Fit Comfortably In Any Seat I Choose
May 15, 2013Featured Goal Of The Month: Fit Comfortably In Any Seat I Choose
Those Moments
It's that moment when you walk into a restaurant with a group of friends who love you no matter what size you are and they ask the hostess for a nice booth. They have momentarily forgotten that you can't fit into a booth, not comfortably or maybe even at all.
It's that moment on the airplane when you realize that you need a seat belt extender and the people around you are just as aware that you do.
It's that moment when you are visiting friends or relatives and you don't dare to sit on certain chairs in fear of them breaking under your weight.
It's that moment when you sit in the back of an unfamiliar movie theater so that others can't see you if you don't fit into the seat.
Changing Those Moments

Well over 1,000 OH members have updated their profiles to reflect their goal of being able to fit comfortably in booths, airplanes, theaters, amusement park rides or any seat they choose. We are happy to report that this is one of the goals OH members have achieved the most! It's a great non-scale victory and a Wow moment not to be forgotten! Here's what some OH members who achieved this goal had to say:
I love it because I don't have my belly pushing into the edge of the table anymore! It's like not worrying about where I sit even if it's crowded!- Terri D.
I always worried I'd break plastic lawn and patio chairs. What I HATED was when I'd stand up and the chair came with me. No more!- shannmro1980
On the plane today, not only did I NOT need a seat belt extender, but I had about 10 inches of seat belt left over!- Joseph Itkor
I remember before my surgery always having to ask to be seated at a table. I hated it! It was so embarrassing...especially when I was on a date. Now I can sit anywhere with no problem at all. Life after WLS is so wonderful!- Amanda Riddle
Movies, theater, restaurant, planes, I can sit in them all now!!!! Yeah!!!!- deborahlynn
