You Know You're Fat When..................................AARRRGG!!

[Guest guest]

I had a bad experience similar to that when I was pre-op. We had my cousin, his

wife, and their kids over for dinner one night. I was sitting in my chair, not

moving and not rocking, when the chair just crumpled under me. The chair was a

solid wood chair and was pretty strong (or so I thought). I felt so embarrassed

as I lay on the floor stuck in the broken chair.

I also had an experience of being at a family party for my husband's family. I

sat on a plastic chair and it bent so much that it broke the plastic. My

mother-in-law (who must weight about 10 lbs.), called my husband later that week

remarking about how concerned she was about my weight. Ugh!

At least I don't break chairs anymore.
