Broke my first chair yesterday
Yep.. weighed 300lbs for almost a decade, lose 84lbs, THEN break a chair! LOL! I was helping hubby at his work, cleaning up a kids' toy room. Used a chair to stand on to get toys off the top of a shelf, and danged if it didn't snap suddenly under me. It was one of those ancient school chairs...
{Shallow Hal moment.. what was the chair made of, anyway? Uhh.. steeellll....)
Knocked me, face first, onto the concrete floor. I lucked out with just some bruises. I'm super weak, which I think worked out in my favor, because I tried, instinctively, to catch myself with an outstretched arm, but it just crumpled under the impact. If I'd been stronger, I would have wrenched my shoulder, probably tearing my rotator cuff.
+1 for no gym time yet! LOL!

Oh boy! I'm so soory that happened to you, but glad you're ok! It could have happened to anyone, but we've all been there. I broke a couch once. Stood on it to hang Christmas lights on the window behind the couch and the frame snapped right under me. I didn't fall or get hurt but for years I've had to listen to my kids yell, "I'm in the hole!!!" everytime one of them sits on that side of the couch. Funny...but then again, not so much
