Fat experiences

You come out of the bathroom shirtless, and twirl your shirt over your head (stripper like) and are told that your belly shakes more than the shirt.

Confermation that you must be doing something right!

You either:

- Need someone to help you up from a seated position.

- Have a belly that is noticeable and is protruding when wearing a dress shirt, especially when tucked in.

- Cannot wear a tie as your neck is too fat and wide.

-when you view stairs as mortal enemies.

-when you galavant about jacketless in 50-60 degree weather.

-when tying your shoes becomes a problem solving workshop.

-when you have to think twice about picking up things that fall on the floor.

-you've intentionally used your stomach as a shelf.

-you go through the drive-thru for a quick snack...while you're on the way to another restaurant.

-you look at your belly in the mirror and your only thought is 'Hmm, plenty of room for improvement.'

When friends begin to poke my belly.

When your belly begins brushing up against things.

You know you're fat when your belly enters the room two minutes before YOU do!

When you get kicked off your first ride at a theme park when the lap bar won't come down.

...you start to really appreciate how roomy disabled toilets are.

Walking up a few stairs is a challenge.

You get winded running more than a few steps.

The only vehicles that are comfortable are full size cars and SUVs.

You need a seat belt extender on all flights.

You can't lower the airline tray table all the way down because your belly is too big.

Restaurant owners love you because you always order drinks, appetizers and desserts.

Women love to cook for you because you always clean your plate and ask for seconds.

Sitting in a restaurant booth is no longer possible.

Friends can't help but pat your belly and tell you how healthy you are looking.

All theater seats are now very tight.

Your 2 XL shirts and Size 54 pants are getting very tight.
