been there, done that. i have made it a point to not ride the rides that require me to be secured in place. it saves me the embarrassment.

I had the same thing happen to me in my early 20's at Six Flags. I was mortified but it wasn't enough to push me in the lighter direction. In fact I think I ate more to soothe the hurt and embarrassment and shame I felt. It's a terrible circle isn't it?

Glad to hear I am not the only one this has happened to! I actually came close to a similar incident in a hospital tour recently when the words "jump suit" were spoken along with "don't worry, they are HUGE." Needless to say, they we barely huge enough. I was able to get into it but just barely, and of course the zipper broke so it sort of looked like I didn't fit even though I would have if the zipper had stayed connected. ARGH!

I had a similar moment years ago at an amusement park. I don't know why that didn't shock me into action either. But at least we are taking action now!

Oh I know your pain! It happened to me in Branson. Although, they had a seat for fat people on the roller coaster in Silver Dollar City. So they had me move. Yeah, I had to get up and take the 'walk of shame' to another seat.

I've been there. I had to get off the swings because I couldn't fit. So one of the first things I did when I was thin (not now but in 2003) was go ride those swings and loved it. I felt like a big dork up there swinging and my husband was filming me. But I wanted to do it and it felt great. Make that a goal in your life. To go back to the MOA and ride that coaster. Or another coaster close by. It didn't get me to lose weight either. I think it took a couple more years before I finally started losing weight. I've since gained back a lot but not all of it. That is another story.
