Most Embarrassing Moments...



Recommended Posts

Ever broke a chair, split your pants, got turned down for an amusement park ride in front of a ton of people?? What was ur most embarrassing moment?

Mine would b that I work in a military child development center. I work with one year olds who love me to pieces! They rub my thighs, play with my arm fat lol sleep so comfortably on me HOWEVER.....

We have rooms that have 4 yr olds and ugh every time I step foot in one of third rooms the children destroy me !!!! One time these 3 little girls were sitting at a table staring at me and whispering. Then one says pointing to her friend, "she said your big and fat" and I said "she did??" and she was like, "yeah and your hair looks ugly" and at that point I was mortified but tickled at how brutally honest children are. I have yet to step another foot in that room! :)

I've had a difficult getting through the turnstyles at our ballpark. Definitely embarrassing. Although best believe it won't happen again!

Oh jeez the list could go on and on!

I have been denied a seat on a roller coaster because my thighs were too big and couldn't put the bar down enough. After that I always made sure I could fit before going on but I can't wait until I don't have to do that anymore!

I have been wearin jeans before and the button popped off, embarrassing. Also tired of buying jeans constantly because of legs rubbing together and wearing down the jeans.

I HATE turnstiles. I always have to go on my tippy toes and go sideways and it's terrible.

Looking forward to the changes! I have already cut soda from my diet and I haven't had my consult yet :)

Well walking into a chicos with a friend who had the surgery last year and the woman behind the counter yelled to me do you understand what sizes we have in here. At first I thought she meant there off sizes but then she said we only go up to a 14. It's obvious I'm bigger. I was mortified. Then there are my huge thighs in plane seats. Ugh

Going into a plus size store and not being able to even fit into the size they Carrie :( also having the other students with my daughter make fun of her and me because she has a fat mom (that's embarrassing and extremely hurtful)

Trying to fit into some of trailer homes to get people out, having little old ladies tell me I don't look like I miss many meals. Planes, I hate how skinny people look at me when they know they are gonna have to sit next to me :(. Test driving cars an having the salesman go, well we should look ino something more full size for a hefty boy like you.

Not ever again, but I will also never be one that a heaver person had to worry about sitting next to them. Because we arnt nearly as shallow as those born with skinny genes

My kids get picked on because of me.. I can handle the comments (hurtful yes but I move on) but my kids are really bothered by it and soo my heart breaks for them... My 6 year old is my biggest supporter though.. he tells me I'm not fat... I'm fluffy.. like his favorite stuffed animal! This morning while getting ready for work (I'm a home health nurse) I put on a scrub top that I couldn't wear 5 months ago (down. 30lbs so insurence will pay for my surgery) and he came down stairs and stopped mid step and looked at me and said " wow mama you look beautiful today...I like your work shirt... Your just less fluffy today then you were yesterday...good job" all three of my kids can't wait till i have the surgery so that I can go on rides @ Santa's Village with them.. right now I have to stand back and watch.. but not for much longer!!!!

You should have gotten her fired. What a horrible person.

My most embarrassing moment was a few months ago (so I was already trying to get my rny) when the south florida fair came to town. I was with friends and kept ranting about my favorite ride and how much fun we'd have on it. Getting in the seat was hard enough because not only was it small but I had to jump up to even get in. I was then told to change seats 3 separate times in front of everyone there (which meant awkwardly jumping and squeezing my ass into the seat 3 times) until they finally told me sorry I was too fat to ride. I left while my other friends who were already strapped in got to ride. I have never been so humiliated in my entire life. I cried so much.

Wow. People just don't know how discriminatory they can be to people with weight issues.

I remember only riding the rides at Disney that had bigger seats for "adults" constantly messaging us the lines for everyone else etc.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

    • buildabetteranna
