One of the worst things about being overweight was flying. Even at 246 lbs (my highest weight) I still fit in the seat and the seatbelt fit, but I always felt HUGE and frankly, it was a tight fit! The look of the person sitting next to me, trying to hide their disappointment that I was a larger row companion, was humiliating. Now, I am an over-sensitive person by nature, but it was truly mortifying. What should be an exciting time – traveling via flying, one of my favorite things to do in the whole world (I work for an airline) – was seriously marred.
I am headed on a trip in the next few weeks. I know that at 197 lbs some people will be wishing they weren’t sitting next to me because of my weight, but I do know for sure they’ll be wishing they weren’t sitting next to me because I’ll be traveling with the baby hahaha!!!
In all seriousness though, those airplane seats are a good reminder, a good inspiration to keep on The Program.
