So last night I had to ask for a different table at a chain Italian restaurant because I was so uncomfortable with my stomach pressed against the table in a booth. It got me thinking how in the last year gaining a bit more weight has pushed me beyond being 'a bit fat' to being properly big.
1. On a ride at a theme park, being moved to a 'big boy' seat before the (rather small female) member staff having to force the harness down.
2. If I get the train at rush hour choosing to stand rather than risk someone trying to squeeze next to me on a seat.
3. Plane seat belts being a squeeze on maximum.
4. Struggling to buy tights now as most just roll down under my belly.
5. Finding missionary style sex increasingly less satisfying as the penetration is less deep due to my extra fat in the way.
6. I struggle to sit comfortably with my legs together, not convinced on this one if it's my upper thighs or belly hang pushing them apart.
7. At a festival in the summer, sitting on a camping chair and the metal giving way and bending under my weight.
