Down over the 4th

well my fourth started out crappy a friend of mine came down from dayton for the holiday weekend and when we was on our way to the grocery we got pulled over by a cop keep in mind I was the passenger I dont drive he says he pulled us over because she didnt have her front liscense plate on when she explained to him that the bolts were broken and showed him he was ok with it then he noticed I wasnt wearing a seat belt the car I was in was a small foreign car I explained to him that I weigh 368 lbs and that the seat belt did not fit me ( I was so embarassed) well he then proceeded to ask me "Well do you have a doctors excuse?" I said no and then he got rude and said that is was my responsibility to wear one and I said ok but it does not fit what am I supposed to do and he said I dont know... then handed me a ticket for not having my seatbelt on that doesnt fit in a car that dosent belong to me. So basically I got a ticket because I am too fat to wear my seat belt I cried my eyes out when I got home and everytime I see a police officer now I want to flip them off and course them out has anything like this ever happend to anyone before????

Cindy, I am so sorry this happened to you! Especially in my home town of Dayton. I didn't have that experience but honey you will soon be on your way to better health, slimmer appearance, and all the good things that go with it. So please just take comfort in that and try to "forgive" that mean cop! That's the best way to get over it - JMO. Hugs, Kitty B. RNY 12/13/04 251 / 158 / someday 145
