Question for the day...

The question for today is...What has been the worst thing that has happened or said to you while being obese? What is the best thing that has been siad/done since you have had surgery? Something to think about!! Kris

The worst thing is when I went to the movies with a friend and they told me that I could not go into the theater because I would not fit in the seats, and they told me I had to leave. The best is yet to come since I have not yet had my surgery!! Kris

The worst happened to me when I was in the 8th grade. I went to Disney World with a friend and we were in line to go on Space Mountain. A woman who worked at Space Mountain asked me in front of my friend if I was pregnant!!!!! Michelle

OK... the worst thing that ever happened was that a lady in Can****hat worked for the airlines commented (after looking at my 3 little one's) that "Oh and you have another one on the way???". The best thing is that I have received alot of compliments from people saying that you can totally tell in my face and butt!! Woohoo! Judith

Judith, Nobody has ever actually commented on how pregnant I look, but I think it about myself all the time But... congrats on the compliments! I can't wait to actually see my real face again!!! It is twice the size now that it should be. I have cute dimples, but you can hardly even see them anymore... they are surrounded by obesity Hugs, Susan

Worst thing- when are you due? look at the size of her? here comes an earthquake. do you think that you should rider that bike, you might bend the frame! You have the biggest thighs of all the girls on the volleyball team (me at 16 years old). couldn't fit into the seat on the train/plane and had to be moved. was asked to move because I was so big. can't really think of just ONE thing that was worse. Best thing- could fit into my WC finally after living in our house for two years. could finally take a bath in our tub after two years in our house without falling through into the kitchen like that movie Money Pit. Having new people meet me and when they hear my story and see my pics not believe that it is me because they never knew me big. Have old friends see me for the first time and not recognize me. Not break the toilet seat when I sit on it anymore. Fit into plane, airplane, theatre seats, my car, passing my husband on the stairs and not knocking him off the landing. having to scooch up really close to the table in a resturant when in a booth becuase I can't reach it when before I wouldn't fit in the booth. Not having the daily debilitating pain in my back and body that I used to have. Taking up martial arts, belly dancing and returning to lifeguarding. Feeling small and maybe even a bit dainty and delicate. Can't really think of just ONE thing that is the best either! Melisa Morrison Success is the BEST revenge! www.morrison.uk.net

Oh, my goodness. Where do I start? My wife's grandmother just told me a week ago, "If you get any fatter, they won't be able to make clothes to fit you.", or a comment made in the airport recently, "Jesus, that guy's huge!", or my personal favorite, "If he were any bigger you'd get trapped in his gravitational pull." Two words for anybody so unsympathetic to the MO: Bite Me (us)!! I hope this question gets asked again, after my surgery, so I can comment about the best thing that's been said. Ron

My worst thing that I can think of besides the obviouse, can't tie my shoes, ride a bike without the seat going up my ass..lol I think it would be when "My mother told me I had a really pretty face." I hate that phrase. The best thing, being pre op still (06/30/04) is my surgery date.. My daughter said to me the other day that she likes me better fat because I am comfy.. LOL
