Happyx3 got a reaction from GENNYOSKINNY in First plane trip post-surgery
This is my first post, although I have been lurking on this site since the beginning of the year. Today I flew from Orange County to Chicago for a week-long business trip. In the past, I have been close to the maximum seat belt span and have been dreading asking for an extension. I even checked the Southwest website and read the rules for "Persons of Size". Yep, that is really the term they use. You should read it; it is an odd combination of insulting and humorous.
So I am down about 30 pounds now and was so happy to buckle the belt with plenty of room to spare. Even better, I was not the fat girl no one wants to squish next to in the next seat. The arm rest was not inching up because of me.
Going down in clothing sizes is an incredible feeling, but this was even better than that. I love the little differences that show how far I have come!

Happyx3 got a reaction from Pelekania in Weight lost attention
Being overweight has made me feel invisible. I am still far from thin, but have been getting many compliments and comments from co-workers, relatives and friends. I really believe that my demeanor has improved. I know that I smile more, walk more confidently and hold myself more erect (snort! I have the sense of humor of a 14-year old boy.)
Pelekania, I totally agree with you about the energy people give off impacts how they are treated. I figure that I can feel good, mentally and physically, and let that rule how I respond to others.
