NSV

Saturday morning we went to breakfast with my son, DIL and baby Stella.  We went to Frank's Grill.  Tiny place. The only seating was a booth in the back.  Tiny booth.  My hubs (6 ft 210 lbs) barely squeezed in and griped the entire time.  Could not breathe.  My son ( 6'2"  200 lbs) squeezed in and griped the entire time. The DIL ( weight classified) sat on the end kind of hanging out in the aisle pretending to deal with the baby.  I was on the inside next to the wall just fine.  Nothing even touched the table.  So smug!  I cannot tell you how good it felt not to be terrified of a booth any more.  Experiences like this keep me honest with my food intake.  I ate 1/2 a spinach omelett.  No hash browns, grits, bacon, biscuits.  Just eggs and spinach.  And water.  I want to go back.  They dont!  

That's AWESOME!!!!

I love this NSV!  If you told anyone else this story, they would think you were a jerk. . . but WE totally get it!!!  good for you!

Right I would be a total jerk.  But we know how we worked to be able to say that.  I didn't tell anyone else ... Just you guys.  We can do hard things!  So we can be smug.

YAY YOU! That's fantastic. :) 

I can't wait for the day I don't have to eyeball a booth to see if I'll fit!

I'll go back with you!  (But I might first-time-try grits because I've never seen that as a menu option here in northern Minnesota)  Oh yeah, smug on!

Grits in the south is a staple.  It is always on the breakfast menu and I used to eat it with butter and a little sugar.  Or pancake syrup. Those days are gone.  Fine with me.  Eggs and spinach ... Bring it on!

Definite reason to celebrate!  Keep up your new life and fear the booth no more!

What a great NSV! Look forward to the day i don't automatically size up both sides of the booth trying to pick the biggest side. 

Wow that is awesome...I can't wait for that feeling :)  Like another poster said, I can't wait to not have to worry about fitting in a booth.  I hate that I have to feel the place out first, or ask for a table instead of a booth.  The booth thing is actually what was my rock bottom.  I had friends in from Canada and we went to lunch (I only see them once a year) and I had to squeeze in a booth...I could hardly fit and was too embarrassed to move to a table.  I knew at that point I had to do something.  I can't wait for my sleeve :)
