At your heaviest weight, what was your most embarassing moment(s)?

Yeah, I know. It's only fair that I answer this too!


As if being over 420lbs wasn't embarrasing enough, I can remember at least 3 incodents.

I went to Six Flags with a few family members, and I couldn't fit on the rides. After waiting in the long lines, I squeezed myslef into one of the seats, the safety bar would not latch over my big belly. I had to get off the ride and leave infront of everyone, with lots of people witnessing the whole event! And this happened not once, but twice! I was stupid enough to try to squeeze into another ride, only to have the same thing happen! For the rest of the day, I could only watch my family have fun while me and my fiancee (who is scared of the rides) walked around, feeling hurt and humiliated! (I was so glad to have him there with me, at least!)

The second time was everytime I went to the doctor's office. I was too heavy to be weighed on their scales, even though it went up to at least 350lbs. The nurses would have to go into a storage closet, and litteraly drag out an enormous scale ment to weigh people who were in wheelchairs! And the only space they had available was in a hallway, where anybody walking by could witness the whole thing!

And third,...........my fiancee and I were gathering our laundry together to go to the laundromat. We like to keep our clothes separate sometimes. Going through his clothes, he picks up a large pink garment and says, "Why is your shirt in with my laundry?" and tosses it with my pile. Knowing my clothes, I knew it wasn't a shirt he picked up and tossed, it was my underwear!!!!! Was I really so big that he thought my underwear was a shirt???!!!!!

That was years ago. Praise the Lord that I have lost over 120lbs, (however it was unfortunately due to being sick) and just recently had a panniculectomy to remove my large hanging belly. I like the way my new body looks and am still hoping to lose more weight from smart food choices and walking.

I was just traveling down memory lane, and felt like sharing those experiences with you. Anyone else had any embarrasing experiences?

I used to get asked all the time when "the baby" was due and I still get asked when I had the baby and if it was a boy or a girl. I'm sure I've made more than one person embarrassed when I answer that I was never pregnant, just fat.

Saying that shuts people up real fast but it sure makes me steam!

 Haha! I've done that too! I just loved seeing the mortified look on her face when I said I wasn't pregnant--just fat. 

 When I was rocking close to ,if not 600 LBS. I went to Ocean City Maryland with a friend and my nephew. WE walked the beach when I decided I wanted to go into the ocean. Not a problem getting into the water. Getting out was a whole diffrent thing. I started walking to the shore when I got to the shallows. When low and behold the surf knocked me over. I tried over and over to stand and just couldn't. The surf carried me to the shore and before I could get up it pulled me back out. Now here I was 600LBs being rolled in and out of the water by the waves. After what seemed forever and the laughter from my friend and family died down and me rolling to and fro they came to help.
