I wish I felt powerful. I don't. Maybe soon. .-= Debby´s last blog ..To be or not to be? =-.

Try getting on a rollercoaster ride, only to not have the latch fit. Most embarassing moment of my life. .-= Tony´s last blog ..Super Potato Fun Times! =-.

I remember getting stuck in a baby swing as a kid…you know the ones with the holes for the legs to go through. My camp counselor had to flip the swing upside down and I slowly and painfully wiggled my way out. I had bruises on my thighs for WEEKS, and I’ll never forget it to this day. Definitely one of the defining moments leading up to my transformation. Great share, Diane…as always

At 357 pounds, I was unable to fit a seatbelt around me….and had to use extenders on airplanes. So embarrassing!
Now, I can fit in the seatbelts in both my husband and my daughters cars and it feels great and SAFE!

I never had this particular problem, but I did have the embarrassment of not fitting into a restaurant booth.

Freedom is a blessed thing.

I know what you mean.

There are a lot of embarrassing and power-taking situations that I have been it at 300+ pounds. It’s like you worry about everything from being able to buckle your seat belt to wondering if you will fit in a booth at a restaurant. It’s disheartening.

Thank you for sharing this with us!!

I admire you so much for all that you have accomplished. Before I started losing weight I couldn’t buckle the seat belt on an airplane. I was mortified and had too much shame to ask for a seat belt extender. I am so pleased to be releasing the shame along with the weight…:-)

Ugh – at 265 I got into a friend’s corvette and could *justbarely* buckle it, and then that year on a plane I could *justbarely* get it buckled too. I just thought that they were small (just like XXL clothes had gotten smaller and seats got smaller… can you say denial?), so it wasn’t MY fault.

No seat belt issues to report in the 150′s.

We had a GEO that when we went to look at it, I couldn’t even get behind the wheel! I was mortified and just said something about my back hurting and made hubby drive, but we all knew what was going on.
I got to where I could drive it, but still couldn’t get the belt to fasten. I was thrilled when I finally heard that click one day, but it was still unmercifully tight.
I wish we still had the car (it died last spring), because I would LOVE to get in it now and see where I stand!
