Ooo, I love these kinds of threads - it always makes me laugh, but sometimes it is sad at the same time.
but this may have been better in the weight support forum
Well, I went to a gym once and a boy bumped into me by accident. He was probably about 9 years old. When he turned around and looked at me, he screamed to his mother: "Mom, look at her, she is HUGE". I just smiled - kids will be kids (and I am huge!), but the mom did not know where to hide!!
I live in the UK, and I use quite a bit of public transport. If the train is getting full, I always notice that the seat next to me is almost always one of the last ones to be filled. - Basically nobody wants to sit next to the fat girl. Oh well, at least I have more room.
And one last thing!! This didn't happen to me, but it did happen to my cousin. She lived abroad for a year, and gained about 60lbs in that year. Well, she did tell her parents that she gained weight, but they never saw photos and thought she exaggerated. Anyhow, the day she came back, the whole family gathered at the airport. Well, the second she appeared Everybody noticed that she gained a lot of weight, but when her dad saw her, he yelled out something in the line of "Holy cow!! you gained a lot of weight!! You got FAT!!" She was so embarrassed, and I felt bad for her. Everybody in the vicinity could hear him. Parents, hey?
Well, maybe that was a good thing, because she decided that enough was enough, and she lost all her weight within 6 months after coming back.
I have many more, but can't recall any at the moment. May post some more later.
