I can't believe I forgot to post this yesterday, but I think I had the most amazing NSV of all yesterday...
I took the train to NYC. I was walking down the aisle looking for a seat and there was an aisle seat free next to a quiet-looking slender man...
I reflexively thought to myself "oh, he's going to be disappointed if I sit next to him..."
I've had that thought somewhere in the back of my mind every time I've boarded public transportation. Who wants to sit next to a person who takes up more than her fair share of real estate??? It's even worse when I am carrying several bags and feel bumbly.
But yesterday, I thought, "I can sit next to him, because I'm not that big anymore..."
I sat down and realized that there was PLENTY OF SPACE. I fit into my seat. FOR ONCE I did not feel like I had to watch it whenever I moved around.
I almost cried when I realized it!!!!!!!!
It is such a dreadful feeling to always feel like you are taking up too much space.
