What was your "obese" moment?

My most embarrassing moment as a super morbidly obese woman was 5 years ago, weighing in at 323 and 5'1-1/2", attending the Blue & Gold dinner with my boy scout. The place was packed, a spaghetti feed... nice round tables and very sturdy metal folding chairs, or so I thought... yep... CRASH, right to the floor. DH tried to comfort me by saying the chair was defective -- ya, it sure was, by my SMO arse! I'm happy to say, I remembered that moment today, don't know why -- but smiled to myself when I realized I would NEVER again have a moment like that again in my LIFE! So... what was yours?!?

Oh let's see... how about the time that I waited in line with my hubby for 2 1/2 hours to ride Cedar's Point's new rollar coaster... laughing it up with our line neighbors, and when it was our turn to board, I sat down and the attendant went to pull the lap bar down and it would not go down far enough to engage into the locked position and the guy says RATHER LOUDLY... something along the lines of... "I am sorry mam, you cannot ride this ride, you are too big for the safety bar!" A few folks laughed out loud as I got off the ride and walked down the exit ramp crying my eyes out.... I wanted to leave right then and there! Although I stuck it out since hubby had not been there in 6 years and he was really looking forward to it. He offered to leave but I let him stay and he road the coasters and I just waited for him at the end of the ride and we roade other rides together! All in all... it sucked big time!

i was running and 2 guys hollered to me.....mcdonald's is the other way....i have thought about that moment and used it to push myself but at the time it was terrible moment

People can be incredibly cruel. But I bet the stuff the ladies yell at you now when you run puts a smile on your sexy little face. "Studmuffin! Hottie Alert! My house is this way! " Are you SURE you are married,Tom? LOL!

Mine was the same but it was a porch swing and my hunny bunny and I both broke it together. VERY embarrassing! We couldn't even offer to pay for it because we were both so broke at the time. Never saw then again.

My husbands company picnic is at an amusement park and about 3 years ago it was at Dorney park. My brother-in-law and I stood in line with the kids to ride one of the roller coasters and we finally get to the top, I go to sit down and my wide hips will not fit in the seat. I looked at my BIN told him I didn't fit, and politely walked down the ramp. When I hit the bottom and was alone I bawled like a baby. How humiliating. This year I am going to ride all the coasters with room to spare!!! Kim 286/213/150ish?

Gees, there are so many let me see...My husband and I were flying on Mexicana Airlines to Cozumel for our honeymoon, and the seats were small, and the seat belt wouldn't fit. I discreetly asked the flight attendant for a seatbelt extender, and she announced across the whole flight that I couldn't fit, and they sent for a maintenance person who came to remove my seat, and install a whole new belt. The whole plane was looking at me because I delayed others from boarding. I wanted to die. On the way home I never asked for an extender for fear of a scene. I just put a sweater on my lap. I will be flying to Mazatlan in August, and I am pretty sure the seatbelt will fit with room to spare. Margo 334/313/241/160

Are amusement parks our worst enemy or what? I don't know if this was my most embarrassing but it definately suites the current trend and I don't want to think around and delve out anything worse, lol. A few years ago I went on a road trip to Six Flags with a gagle of friends and I sat down on the Texas Giant and got right back up because I didn't fit in the seat comfortably (didn't want to ride it anyway, it was total peer pressure that I was even up there - I was scared, I just told everyone I changed my mind). Then we went to my tried and true favorite roller coster but our group had split up so it was just a few of us and the safelty bar wouldn't fit. That was embarrassing but the attendant wasn't rude, he just kept trying to jam me in, probably because he didn't want to tell me I couldn't ride, anyway I jumped off as soon as I could. THEN I wanted to ride the parachutes which I had ridden with my best friend earlier - EXCEPT that the second time I was riding with her boyfriend and we were too heavy so we had to ride seperately. He was such a dear about it and took the blame. But now I fear I am scarred for life. I want to go back to Six Flags but don't want to "test it out" again. Uggggggggggggg! Head Shy. At least I was with wonderful friends and no one ever said anything mean to me from the crowd (that I heard). But I know that it was there somewhere. I don't understand why people are intentionally cruel. I guess that it makes them feel powerful, or superior in some way, or maybe just to protect their own flaws. People say that children are cruel but they just haven't learned to hide it yet, adults can be ten times worse - they just make a point to do it behind your back. I'm not trying to sound bitter, I really just feel sad about it. Like Tom's story - I have read that before and it always stuck out in my mind. Why? Those guys got a quick laugh and someone else's expence and the other party has to keep that experience in the back of their mind forever? What does anyone ever gain from being negative? Ok, off that subject and off to work. Have a great day friends!!!!! Hugs, Jenny

I did use my ability to "carry my weight well" to my advantage at amuzment parks though... you know those games with the guess your weight/age/birthday thingys. I always let them guess my weight. They would give me some low ball number and I would tell them to stop trying to flatter me or they were gonna loose this game and I let them take another guess. Knowing that they were still far off, I'd jump on the scale and win the biggest prize they had! They were ALWAYS off on their guesses by at least 20 pounds!
