Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 I learned to avoid the " loud " , skinny stewardesses in my own way I " borrowed " a seat belt extender from each airline which I now carry on in my purse. That way, I only went through the embarrassment once on each airline. I intend to " give " them all back when I'm thin enough that I dont need them so it wasn't really stealing,,,,,,, was it?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 This may have been mentioned before, but congratulations on that accomplishment! I don't know what it is but I have had the same thing happen to me. It is horrible. Or better yet, Barbie Stewardess, yells above the engines, " JUST WAIT TIL I FINISH THE SAFETY DEMONSTRATION AND WE'LL SEE IF THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU!!! " . I swear, I have hid the belt under my coat and said hail 's instead of going through that ridicule. Wheeww, that was cleansing to say outloud. I am a pre-op hoping to be in you aisle soon!

I am happy to report, for the first time I can remember in years, I DID NOT HAVE TO USE A SEAT-BELT EXTENDER !! The person assigned to the seat next to me did not groan when I came to my seat and all of me fit in my assigned space. No kidding !! I thought I was going to bawl. In the past I have declined speaking engagement because I didn't want the stewardess to announce to the whole plane that the fat person in aisle 21 couldn't get the belt across her fat butt. Traveling and others perception of me on public transit have reeked havoc with me in the past. Just wanted to share this delightful side-effect.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Michele, I sure don't see it that way... You know I won't be that small for some time, (not to need one). So, if you have any extras just laying around, send it to me!! When I don't need it anymore I promise to return it to it's rightful home... LOL Trudy Re: Digest Number 2487 I learned to avoid the " loud " , skinny stewardesses in my own way I " borrowed " a seat belt extender from each airline which I now carry on in my purse. That way, I only went through the embarrassment once on each airline. I intend to " give " them all back when I'm thin enough that I dont need them so it wasn't really stealing,,,,,,, was it?
