Can You Believe This? Another Reason I Can't Wait For The Sleeve!

  • Popular Post

This one is unbelievable!!! So, I just came back from a business trip this week. Now... I've always been a big guy, but could always fit into airplane seats and wear the seat belts. It's always tight, but I can fit. Well, as i was bording a plane in Milwaukee to come back to California, this "crazy" lady :blink: scanning the boading passes had the nerve to ask me "Am I going to need another seat? :angry: Now...initially.... It did not register what she meant... I said no.. assuming she meant if I wanted to switch seats... but then she has to the audacity to ask "can you place the arm rest down". :angry: At this point I look at her with a death stare... and then she gets the hint and just shuts up. But wait there's more..... this lady was morbidly obese herself!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had to be no taller than 5 feet and and easily 400 lbs. Unbelievable!!!

I guess life is funny. I've flew countless times, and never had anything happen to me like this. However, I am a month out from getting sleeved, and this ridiculous lady makes some stupid comments. I guess life wanted to throw another final jab before I get my sleeve on Sept. 18th.

Ok.. I am done with my rant.

Peace and Blessings everyone

    I'm not proud of this, and if the women on this forum hate me for it or are offended, I'm truly sorry. But this was one of my rock bottom moments and it made me realize that I had to do something, an

Wait till you lose weight & your co- workers & family start trying to "feed" you because you are thinner than them! All the heavy people you know will be so negative. I've lost 70lbs & in sharing that a co -worker said " I cheated ". I went OFF!

Cheated? The nerve! There are so many haters out there. Keep doing you! Youre doing an amazing job.

I can certainly relate...im sick and tired of people asking me if im pregnant, or how far along I am. Like they cant tell the difference between a prego belly and my flabby belly...Ive become so numb that i simply reply `no, im just fat´...

Omg my friends mother in law said this to me one day! She got super excited and said "oh my god you're pregnant!?!????" when I said no she INSISTED I was! And when I said "no I am FAT" she was more embarrassed than I was.... What a beeeeotch....

My 2nd last day of work before surgery I was stopped by a woman I didn't know who said "oh, I thought you had the baby?!" to which I replied "I was never pregnant" with a very offended look on my face.

I ran to tell all my colleagues how rude she was, it gives me the best excuse to come back to work skinnier and to lose more weight without raising suspicion. No1 at work knows about my surgery.

When I go back, if anybody asked about the weight loss I'll just ask if I still look pregnant.

I would say, "Boy, you should try cheating too because doing it the "hard" way is obviously not working for you at all."

Hey, it's mean but sometimes you just need a come back.

Hahha!!! Yowch! Good one! Hope I never find myself in a situation where that would be necessary!!!!!
