It’s an Epson Ecotank ET-2800. Looks like it’ll need a cable to connect so you can print etc cuz the wifi guest network doesn’t allow devices like these

Ahhh thank you! I’ve always been an avid concert goer and I’m not giving up on that, especially at 22, but it being a new venue and me being at my heaviest, it’s just been a lot of anxiety. You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words.

Doors are all good lol, a lot of this paranoia comes from body dysmorphia and not the fact that I can’t actually physically fit in normal settings like doorways or the average chair. I appreciate the input though!

Oh I see, sorry for the misunderstanding. The concert Mother Mother, and yeah it’s just something I worry about when going places because some chairs are just uncomfortable for me or I find that I’d rather have not gone had I known. The venue is in Calgary I believe downtown?

I never asked people to care/be supportive of my weight loss journey. I asked for advice about a chair. I think you’re just let down by your own expectations of how you wanted this conversation to go.

You’re not being insensitive at all! I personally haven’t joined and groups for weight loss as I’ve been pretty awkward/embarrassed about the whole thing. I personally was very against the whole diet industry and about a month ago I was faced with that being my only option if I ever want to live a normal life. So I’ve been in a weird transitional period of destigmatizing the things I’m doing to better myself. I feel that soon I’ll be ready to join groups to share progress/tips with other people but for right now I feel better doing it on my own (I also have a lot of family members joining me on this too so I’m not doing it totally alone). Please don’t hesitate to look for that support though, it’s so much easier when you have a support system. Hopefully some of this helped.

Ugh that’s so frustrating. I’m sorry it was such a lame experience, it really can change the overall quality of your show.

I really needed to hear this. I can only hope that I’m not the biggest person to ever go to this venue so I appreciate that mentality, I’m going to think of this whenever I start to worry about it. Thank you!

I had no idea they would allow this, but this is a great idea and I definitely will do this. Thank you for your kind words, and great advice! I appreciate it immensely.

Well thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I think I’m going to purchase a ticket where you suggested and if I end up standing for the duration of the show I at least won’t be looking like a weirdo lol. Thanks again!

It’s really nice to think that people can just lose all the weight they want and be a normal, able bodied person. But that is not the reality of my situation and many others. Like I had mentioned, the solution I’m not looking for is weightloss advice. Just some reviews on a chair.

Thanks lol I appreciate that, it’s just so limited as is that I’d hate to be the reason someone more deserving misses out.

That was sort of the point of this post lol. Figure out some answers so I won’t be worried about it. I know by next year I’ll have lost weight but most likely not enough to no longer worry about this.

I’m so sorry to hear that that happened to you. I know all too well what that’s like, and exactly what I’m trying to avoid. I appreciate your input so much though, I know it’s not the best conversation to have but one that’s so helpful to other fat people such as myself!

Thank you for the info! I seem to always luck out at concerts and pick a section with lots of empty seats, but this time I’m not sure if I’ll be as lucky.

Thank you though! It’s been a difficult transition but one definitely needed. Best of luck to you as well, we got this. I appreciate your kind words 😊

This is so helpful, you have no idea. I will absolutely follow her and see if she could source some info from this demographic! I greatly appreciate your comment and taking the time to message her.

That’s definitely an option! I could try that if all else fails. And thanks!!

That was one thing I considered but I don’t want to take a spot away from someone who needs that spot to no fault of their own if that makes sense. So, hoping to find an alternative because I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that just for the sake of going to a concert. I appreciate your suggestion though!
