You know, whether you are someone who has always had a bit of a problem with weight or someone who has steadily gained weight over the years, one thing is certain. You get left behind all the people who are not overweight. And I am not even sure that it is intentional.
Think about when you are at a restaurant and they put you in a booth. Getting in that sucker is a heck of a lot easier than getting out of it as a fat person. So, everyone else is already at the door and you are still trying to shimmy your way out of the book. That is why I so much prefer tables and chairs at restaurants to booths. But even then, sometimes you get a similar issue if the place has their tables too close together.
Another place where I notice this a lot of places with really cramped seating like theaters. Whether you are seeing a concert or a movie, sometimes those seats just do not want to let you back up out of them! The worst though is when you are on the end and everyone is just waiting for you to get up and get out the way so that they can start leaving. Or worse, when someone needs to go to the bathroom during the show.
Airline seats are a similar situation. I always try to get by the window so that I do not have to worry about getting out of my seat in front of other people. It takes me a while so that is something that I would rather do without feeling rushed.
And do not get me started on outdoor recreation. It is not that I would not like to be outside having fun like that, but my weight makes it difficult. So whether it is my family or friends, I always get left behind on this one too. And I am honestly not sure what is worse, feeling down at being left out and left behind or the possible embarrassment of trying to be active with them and just looking like a pathetic fatty.
That is why I want to give thi weight loss thing another shot. I have tried it in the past. Lots and lots of times. And I just cannot seem to make it work for me. Maybe I was not trying hard enough. This time, I will push myself more to make it happen.
