Embarrasing Moment

I have a list started of why I should have weight loss surgery. One of the items on my list is to be able to fit in a booth at a restaurant. Well, while my husband was having surgery at Atlanta Medical Center, my brother and I went to get some lunch. He sat on the side with the attached chair (you know the kind that are attached to the table and kind of rotate), and I sat on the long bench on the other side. It was pretty tight getting in. I had to squeeze between our table and the other table then sit down. Well, I'm not sure how I got in, 'cause, I couldn't get back out. I went to get out, and I tried to stand up between the two tables, and I couldn't! I said, I guess kind of loudly, to my brother, "I'm stuck!". I had to keep squatting down and slide out from between the tables. I didn't dare look at anyone! My brother is not very overweight, and he has always been supportive of me. Anyway, I asked him if I embarrased him. Of course he said no, but he did say, if I hadn't announced to the whole restaurant that I was stuck, no one would have noticed....yeah right! I was so embarrased!!!!! I haven't had anything happen to me like that in a long time. I just reaffirms that I NEED to have this surgery!!!! I have been joking about it...it makes it easier. I told Derrick about it, and I could tell how empathetic he was. He was saying, "Oh baby, I'm so sorry". I thought that was sweet that he totally understood.

Hugs to you, Stephanie. We all can relate! Why is it so much easier to get in then to get out?...same thing with trouble...must be momentum or something. Becky

Oh......Stephanie, My heart is going out to you right now. {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} How many times have I been in this situation? Too many times I have been stuck (in different kinds of seats, not all booths) and had to have my husband help get me out, with an audience. All I can say is soon, like me, you'll never be embarrassed by this kind of thing again. BTW, your husband is a real sweetie, like mine. Be blessed on your wls journey. Joyce
