what was your worst fat moment

Oh another one. In Gran Canaria, my friend and I went on a Camel, It had one seat either side of the hump. My friend is about 5 foot 2, and about 9 stone, so they hooked what seemed like a hundred sandbags on her side to counter-balance my weight! I can laugh now, because Im doing something about it, but could have cried at the time!
 
Had to do a moving and handling course at work where we were using hoists. the sling was tiny so I refused to let them even try it on- legally it was probably against their own policies cos they're s'posed to be sized to the individual. but it was still embarassing.
The other fat moments that really get me are when people feel they can pass comments on your size when they are as ugly as a smacked arse.I wish I had the confidence to stand up to them
 
When i got stuck in a turnstile with a huge queue behind me. Had to shuffle 90 degrees and attempt to edge back out. All with this queue of people watching. They had to open a gate and let me in

And always worry about toilet cubicles and aeroplane seats. it's not easy to breathe in enough to fasten it when you are having a panic attack.

I may be fat, but at least I can diet.....
I may be fat, but at least my face doesn't scare babies.
Now will you please put that paper bag back on....
You fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...
You look like you've been hit by the blunt end of a shovel...
 
Great post!
I was manning a stand for the company I worked for at an exhibition at ExCel and we had to wear polo shirts with the company logo. We ordered the size we wanted in advance so I (wrongly) thought I would be ok....Well got my top (bright yellow by the way) XXL ( yeah right, for an ant maybe?)....had to get dressed in a tiny room behind the stand....knocked a hole in the wall while struggling to get into the blasted thing which couldn't have looked any worse if it had been sprayed on.....to add insult to injury, I thought I had managed to avoid the photographer for the day.....when the press release came out.....THERE I WAS IN ALL OF MY GLORY BUSTING OUT OF THIS YELLOW TOP.......AND ONE OF MY BOOBS WAS UP BY MY SHOULDER AND THE OTHER WAS SQUASHED DOWN BY MY RIB CAGERESTING ON MY HUGE BELLY ....Oh the shame!!!!:eek::eek::eek:
 
Being at a horse show, I bent down to move my grooming kit and this really posh lady told me to move my "fat arse".


Edited to say her words!!
 
going into a cafe and sitting at one of those bench seats, you know the one's, where the bench is attatched to the table, and getting stuck, had to wiggle my way out with a bright red face. Of course there's the splitting of trousers and I also suffered from the rubbed thighs, excrutiatingly painful

JakkiG when you are thin, they will still be as ugly as a slapped arse, havin fallne out of the ugly tree adn hit every branch on the way!
 
the thing I hate most is feeling like the fattest person in the room, invisible when socialising and so unattractive that I keep my eyes cast down when going anywhere. A good book I read recently was 'the adventures of Dietgirl' - she diarises everything us fatties feel and comes out the other side! I really recommend it.

Who is the author? Id love to read it!

Also I hate having to buy clothes that fit, regardless of whether or not I actually like them!
 
Worst ever ever moments for me were when my sister was getting married.
I backed out of being a bridesmaid because I was so ashamed of my size and thought that I would spoil all the wedding photographs with my fat ugly face and body. I cried so much watching her and the bridesmaids walking down the ailse wishing I could have done something to be 'there' for my sister on her special day.
Also I had bought a beautiful pink chinese gown to wear for the wedding, tried it on 6 months before the wedding and it looked lovely (in my eyes), didn't bother trying it on again until the day of the wedding (don't know why!?) and I must have put on even more weight as it was skin tight.....throughout the day the seams split and my tights all laddered as they were too small.....I ended up going home to get changed and feeling awful.
I still, even now, can't bear to look at my sisters wedding pics as they bring back awful memories and make me feel physically sick. :(
 
an embarrassing moment has to be years ago when i weighed 17stone, and trying to SQUEEZE into size 22 clothes, i really believed that the shop size was wrong..

the WORST has to be my eldest coming home from school just as he started the comp 3 yrs ago, and asking me if i really HAD to go to a meeting, i later found out that his mates had been teasing him because of my size and he had got into trouble fighting defending me :cry:, that broke my heart..

i vowed then to do something about it and i did, i lost 3 and a half stone!! slowly, but did it
 
Ditto most of whats already been said.

I was at my daughters wedding thinking I looked acceptible until I got the photos back. I broke my heart. The mother and daughter photo looked like I had big red apple cheeks and the tops of my arms were bulging. I was also caught on camera from a side view - the gut was hideous. Oh the shame.

I will never delude myself again.

Awwwwwwwwww honey.......I know how that feels.....one of the triggers for me starting CD was my 8 year old son coming home and telling me that he had got into a fight at school because 2 lads had called his mummy fat! Its truly heartbreaking I know........
((((((((((hugs)))))))))) and Congrats to you for doing something so positive and losing 3 and half stone! :)
 
*Pretending that I had been 'swinging on two legs' of the plastic patio furniture that collapsed under my weight in the outdoor restaurant:eek:


*Not being able to buckle my seatbelt on the amsterdam-cardiff city hopper. :eek:


* Not being able to put the table down properly on the airplane 'cos my belly was in the way. :eek:
 
Girls we wont have to worry about any of these thing much longer because were all going to be skinny mini's :) :) ohh yeah roll on the summer
 
I think my worst was on holiday several years ago in Tunisia when we went on a trip where you rode camels and horses....well I did the camel ride just fine, but the poor horses were so skinny that I'd already made up my mind not to do that part....unfortunately the Tunisian guys made such a hoohar when they thought I was going to ride the horses and made such a spectacle using wild gestures (to compensate for the language barrier) that the whole group couldn't fail to have realised what was going on.....the only Tunisian that did know some english, made me walk along side the camels and kept saying ' you run...soon be model lady..run,run! '

I still get all hot and bothered with the shame of the memory :cry::mad:
