An intro and a question about theatre seats

[DebbieB1986]

Hi all

I'm Debbie, I'm a 27 year old wife and mother living in Glasgow and I intend to lose a lot of weight, around 10 stone. I'm really sick of being this overweight, I'm fed up of worrying about my size, health, of boring expensive clothes and not doing things I want because I feel I am too fat. I need to fix it!

I have a question if anyone would be so kinda as to answer. I'm going to the theatre on Wednesday to see The Lion King and (the reason I have decided to take control and get rid of this weight!) I've been worrying that I won't fit in the theatre seats. I know it won't be comfy at my size (UK 24 top and bottom!) but I want to at least fit. Do you think I will?

Hi Debbie, I'm new to this site too
I love going to theater, and you will be fine in the seat...i'm currently a size 26 on top and bottom, and i'm fairly comfortable in the seats (at least in the kings theater and theater royal, Glasgow) It can feel a bit snug, but comfortable all the same, the main reason i get self conscious is my arms and the whole 'who gets the arm rest' saga. Also my mum is a size 30 and she fits in the seat also, but obviously it's more of a squeeze!

Hope this reassures you, it can be daunting!
Enjoy the Lion King!

i havent been to that particualr theatre, but I love the theatre generally. I am much bigger than you, and I can rememebr fitting in the stall seats at a size 30. I always went for an aisle seat so to overspill on one side. Not the mott comfortable experience, but it was OK. given you are a few sizes smaller I think you will definitely fit in the seats

Thanks so much for the replies I'm going to see it at the Edinburgh Playhouse, we moved to Glasgow three months and this is my first chance to go to Edinburgh, also a bit excited because my husband is having the 4 year old for the day while I go with a new friend, been a while since I had some just adult time

Weightloss wise, I have decided what I am having for meals today and worked all the calories out ahead of time. Before I've worked calories as I got along but these way as long as I stick to my food diary I know for sure what my calories will be, it also helps lower the shopping bill as I'm not buying really random stuff
