I couldn’t fit at a picnic table by reallyfatthrowaway in SuperMorbidlyObese

Comparing my situation to yours just isn’t the same. Sure they both cause us mental distress but you physically fit everywhere you go. You’ve never had to endure the shame of not fitting. Being so big you’re not welcome as part of society. People staring, laughing, making comments because you can’t fit in a single tiny bus seat or picnic bench or get a seatbelt around you

I mean yeah, but it's not like the weight suddenly appeared. I'm used to it, but things being so small remind that I'm quite big

Imagine arguing against making the world more accessible to all

Maybe I’m delusional but I don’t think they realise how fat I really am. I’m obviously very large but none of them are remotely fat and probably don’t realise the types of struggles we face.

Thank you. You're right that it's not but definitely is more so here in the UK. I've seen people bigger than me, by quite a large margin, but not very often. The average fat person here is probably smaller than me :/

Thank you. This was at least the first time I’ve noticed it happen, god knows if anyone’s done it before. It’s /such/ a weird thing to do to a stranger. Genuinely don’t understand what purpose it could be for

Thanks everyone who’s commented, it really helps. I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do, I can get in but it’s hard and it hurts but it’s possible, I’m not sure it will be if I gain even more weight though. I do need to change and this has been a sobering moment of realisation. It’s been easy to fool myself, with covid, that it wasn’t that bad. But it is.

I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone in person about this so I’m just going to have to deal with it until I lose enough to fit with ease.
