Seriously Embarrassed !



Recommended Posts

Yes I have broke my bed. Oiy vey that was horrible. Got up in the middle of the night and went to flop back down and the bed broke away from the head board and my ass was stuck and could not get up. I had to put darn cinder blocks under it so I could sleep on it. Now I dont have that problem anymore. I also stepped in a whole and broke my toe and fell at the toyota dealership and not one darn sales man saw me to come help me up. I was more pissed then embarrassed because they have no issue running all over you to sell a darn car. When I was big I have wretched my neck, fell on my ass I dont know how many times and broke a plastic lawn chair. OMG its funny now but was not then.

I am trying to think if I have broken anything and I realized I have. I broke two office chairs that I use at my computer over about a 12 year period. They didn't just break suddenly but the frame slowly bent over time until they were no longer level and left me sitting at an angle. I finally ponied up and bought a "fat mans" office chair online. It is supposed to support 350 pounds so I should be okay as I weigh about 299.

Hey, I know that is not a funny story but at least I did break something. :D

That's hilarious! That sounds like something you would see in a sitcom. It makes me laugh because I am wondering if your husband is like mine and replied with that calm almost monotone voice. This has nothing to do with size' date=' but I have a visual field defect (very little to no peripheral vision) and several times I have walked into a room shouting for my husband only to hear a low quiet voice say, "I'm right here," which of course causes me to scream in fright. :blink: [/quote']

I laughed so hard at this one!!!

Warning! If you are newly banded, please wait to read these hilarious stories! It will make your incision site sore and very well may rip it open. I was laughing weirdly and my kids thought I could hurt myself. Good stuff!!

Thanks for sharing.

I had started a "temp job" assignment and on the second day I broke an office chair. These people were not nice about it at all. The temp service called me at lunchtime and asked me what happened, but told me that my assignment there was over and the company wanted me to pay for the office chair. I was outraged, but embarrassed. I broke the step on our boat ladder and could not get up into the boat without 3 grown men helping me. I think we can all come up with something that we have broken, been totally humiliated over and at this point we all just have to laugh and grow from the experience.

Oh yeah I forgot about the time that at a pool party I sat in one of the flimsy white chairs and immediately heard a cracking sound. So I jumped up and sat in a different chair. Then one of my skinny friends came and sat in it and fell to the ground immediately!!! LOL Everyone was cracking up.,, except him Lol

I never told him about that, maybe I will the next time I see him!

I sat on one of those white plastic outdoor chairs and the back legs gave out

But the funny part is they went ever so slowly so I slowly, slowly sank down with the chair till I was laying on my back with the chair wedged under me!

I did break a chair at a distant relative's house. The look on their faces was disgusted. Very Embarassed.

At other relatives houses... I arrive early and select a sturdy looking chair. NOT THE 150 year old antique!

As a matter of fact it happened another time. Always with the most judgmental people in attendance.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
