Of all the embarrassing times I have had for any reason,my inflight ones are the most memorable.Not being able to put the little table down was always humiliating but-once on a flight home a flight hostess asked me if I wanted to move to an empty row of seats with my children so we could stretch out.Before I could answer someone else jumped in and asked if their family could also be accommodated in the same way.The hostess loudly explained to them that she had to ask the very obese first.As everyone turned to stare at me I felt that I would never eat again.I was so embarrassed for my children and so ashamed of myself.Naturally I did not accept the offer as I was too ashamed of my image to stand up and change seats.
Yes I really hope you never have to ask for a seat-belt extender ever again!
The trip this coming Friday will be my first "overnight" business trip since surgery. I did a same day "up-and-back" to Tulsa OK about 10 days ago. It was on one of those little Embrar Regional Jets. It was a minor WOW moment for me because I did not need the belt extender for the first time in a while.

Regarding the embarrassing moment you mentioned, that flight attendaant should have had her noggin thumped. But think about this: in a year you will NEVER HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN, because you will be thin! Just visualize yourself like Claire, thin, and with lots of "tail" on that seat belt. Cool huh?
