When I got on the Metro train this morning, I walked over to sit next to a young Hispanic male and I DIDN'T get the deer in the headlights look, the why me? sigh and the scooting of his body over against the side of the metro car to make room for me. I just sat down and that was it! Then he got off and a few stops later another individual got on the train and chose to sit with me without making weird shifting moves and grunts and there were even other seats available! I am no longer the fat girl you hate having to sit next to on the Metro! I used to ride public transportation all the time at 257 pounds and know what it feels like.

I can't relate to this one but that doesn't mean I can't be happy for you!

Congratulations on not being a pariah!

Nickie - give it time and you'll be witnessing the same thing.

Woo hoo Biki! That is awesome!!! Way to go girl!!

We both know how you feel. Its so nice to walk around somewhere and not have people stare at you and make little comments (thinking its under their breath) about you.
I just think its too cool to be able to sit in a booth at a restaurant.

Yeah, my sister can't do that and I always forget because I like booths.

Oh I so know how that feels, My DH and I can't sit at booths anymore.... And I hated getting on an Airplane let alone taking out the seatbelt slack just so I could buckle it. My Best Friend wants to take out yrly trip and I am putting it off because of the airplane reason. So sad. I hope to stay on track this time.
