Ok, this might bother some people, but I had to post this because I know so many others can relate. Being at 342+ comes with its own set of problems and using the bathroom when out in public is one of them. Every time I had to "go" I had to look for the biggest stall, as though I were handicapped. Now I don't know about anyone else but I felt bad, if coming out of the "big stall" and saw someone in a wheel chair waiting for me to get done with my business. Of course there were times when I had to wait for the big stall and I have even heard little children ask their moms why I was just standing there when the bathrooms were open

. So imagine today when I realized that for the past two or three weeks I have been using the regular stalls without even thinking about it, here I was just sitting there when it hit me, it was kind of a duh moment

. I know this may sound really stupid but over the years I know my family has waited for me while I waited for that special seat, and that has been embarrassing to say the least. Now, I'm still no where near my goal weight but I do feel more normal

. Also fitting into a booth at a restaurant is wonderful. No more special seating, worrying about chairs holding my weight or chair arms digging into my legs or waiting while others who came after me get seated. I can finally fit where other normal people fit, even if it is toilets and booths!!!

Trust me this was NO SMALL VICTORY!!!!!!!
