Fat experiences

I experience being big in public every time I go in public. I’m not as quick as I used to be so if I cross in front of a car I’m sure they roll their eyes as I do the quick arm movements like I’m running, or if I’m ordering food and it’s not justa meal I’m sure their laughing at me

kind of like the pooh bear fantasy?

Popping a pool float... breaking a bar stool... Splitting my pants... Getting stuck in a desk... turning around and destroying several porcelain items in a souvenir shop... The list goes on.

I had two stools from IKEA, and I had trouble putting them together because the holes in one didn't quite align correctly. I hired someone from TaskRabbit to assemble them, but one always had a wobble. I typically sat on the other, but one day, I ordered a pizza and plopped down on the wobbly one. It literally collapsed under my weight. I was able to break my fall somewhat, so I didn't hurt myself, but getting then-350 pounds off the floor isn't easy. And the stool was in pieces.

Once you get big enough, every public outing is like this. Everyone looks at you, expecting something to happen. Most are looking to avoid second-hand embarrassment.
Especially at grocery stores. I'm a fairly young guy, but baggers will ask if I need help loading my food in my car. And when I try to return those scooters for old people, people either ask if I need it or look disgusted, when I'm just trying to return it.

I walk very slowly and that can definitely be somewhat problematic when I am out and about. When I walk with someone who is not aware of my “speed limit” it can cause some awkward moments when they “surge ahead” and then realize that I am several steps behind.
