Fat experiences

It happened a few months ago, but I was going out with a friend, went to an authentic New York pizza spot that only has booths, and I could not squeeze myself fully into the booth, with gut stuck on the table I felt so embarrassed, the person I was with didn't mention it at all but I saw a few looks from the staff as I struggled in the seat

I was struggling to put jeans on because of my weight

I was front and center of a video call on a zoom meeting in front of a large audience on the projector screen and I looked absoutlely massive barley reconginzed myself legit did a double take

Recently, I was at a restaurant Aunt ordered the burrito meal and the button up shirt I was wearing was kind of snug before I went, but they’re the two lower buttons ended up popping off and I was very embarrassed, but also around the same time embarrass and try my best to cover it up in order to finish my meal and leave.

Wow! This has to make the top of a lot of lists. Just cause of how cartoonish it sounds.

I got stuck in a bathroom stall a couple of days ago.
I got in sideways but couldn't get turned around. to sit down.
I finally squeezed out and waited on the handicapped stall. I was soo embarrassed.
The lady that helped me out of the tiny stall was so kind. I must have thanked her a million times.
Bathroom stalls vary a lot so I never know if I am going to fit in them.

Expect you'll laugh about your experience before long but why do we have seats like this, and worse still on airlines, that are too small for the population which we all know is getting bigger? Large people being forced to pay for two airline seats seems common practice and must be very uncomfortable. Fortunately I can still fit on a single airline seat but mostly I need a seat belt extender - but sometimes not. I'm amused at having to ask but others I know are embarrassed - why not simply fit longer belts?

One reason - money

I ran into a colleague I hadn’t seen in five or six weeks. She’s funny, sweet, and extremely straightforward—she just says whatever comes to her mind, no filter. You know the type. She stopped, looking surprised, widened her eyes, and grinned: "Wow! You gained some kilos!" Then she gestured in the air around her own imaginary love handles, squeezing them as if she were pinching invisible fat. She looked genuinely amused and taken aback.

I’m not that much heavier, and I haven't really gained that much. But I was very fit to begin with, so I guess it shows. Plus, I think some people are surprised that I, of all people, would gain weight. Normally, I can handle her comments—at work, we tend to be pretty direct with each other. But this time, I just felt my cheeks go red with embarrassment.

To add to it all, it was Friday, and the meeting room was full of croissants. Every time I reached for one, her face lit up with this teasing grin, clearly enjoying herself. She’s in a relationship, which I fully respect, but she still has this way of making a moment both funny and a little too honest—something only she can pull off.

I’m sorry but what was mortifying about going grocery shopping? I don’t think people actually care what you get or think oh this guy is going to eat all of that? Idk just put yourself in the shoes of someone else do you think you’d really think twice about what someone had in there cart?
