Has anyone had any struggles with being bigger in public? Example: trouble finding seating that’s sturdy, not fitting into restroom stalls, getting winded quickly, etc.
I know I've had to deal with all of the above, even though I feel like I'm not THAT big. For example, if I'm somewhere that has older, more well-used furniture, I've always gotta be careful to sit gently or if it's bad enough I look for a different chair. Chairs with armrests tend to be hit or miss. I mean I usually can sit in one, but a lot of times I don't fit very well at all. Bathroom stalls are kinda the same way. When I'm in one of the more narrow ones, it usually feels pretty small since I end up hitting my arms on the walls and things.
Then there's the getting winded part and oh man, does that happen a lot. Especially with stairs. If I go up more than about 10 stairs, I'm probably gonna be out of breath at the top. And forget running for any sort of significant distance.
