I started my sophomore year at my college and it's a pretty good sized school, so there are lots of lecture halls that are set up like auditoriums.

So anyways I got to my class and sit down, and I swear this has been the most uncomfortable seating situation I have ever been in. I have bruises on the sides of my legs where they were almost bursting out of the sides. I know I made the girl next to me very uncomfortable, since she could feel my legs shaking.

This was so embarrassing! Ugh and the worst part is that I have to do this class for my major and there are no options. I don't get sleeved until December and conveniently, that's also the end of the semester.

I've just felt so low today. I just desperately want December to come.

Ahhhh, sigh. Thanks for listening.

Been there!!! Especially the folding desk thingy- I could barely take notes... I found the aisle seat was slightly better because I could slide my girth out the aisle side so the person next to me was more comfy... But I almost fell over once in one that didn't have arm rests on the aisles... I just kept sliding out towards the aisle!!! Then I started coming in last and sitting on the side aisle steps! This was much better because I could rest against the wall too!!! But ask the lecturer first so they don't bring it up in front of everyone!!! This will work much better as it seems like your just being polite not squeezing past everyone during the lecture...

Best of luck and log this in for a non-scale victory after your sleeve!!!

If it makes you feel less alone, I actually broke two stools at my favorite Indian restaurant. Two! It's a small restaurant so they only have a counter and stools. It was just like that diner scene in the movie "There's Something About Mary". I was surprised they didn't ban me from the restaurant. And what's worse is that the last time I went there, I noticed they had replaced the old stools with ones that were super-reinforced industrial strength designs. I don't know if they were trying to accommodate me or give me a hint.

Did you mean the movie "shallow Hal"? I've seen both of those movies a couple of times.

OP I'm barely squeezing into regular size chairs that have arms. I'm geting surgery Tuesday and I'm looking forward to sitting comfortably.
