Public bathrooms...

I'm not sure if anyone else has this thing about public bathrooms like me...
When I was 300 pounds I would never use a public bathroom, because I felt so bad and self conscious about having to use the Handicap stall to fit in. Well now I can go into a normal size stall with no problem and it feels good. I am no longer afraid to use a public bathroom, tho I still prefer not to if I can help it for other reasons. Does anyone else notice this or am I crazy? I mean its just another perk to being thinner and more healthy. I feel like I am on my way to better things, this weather is giving me that extra time to get my ass outside and moving and I am thankful for that. Maybe this season wont be so bad and I am going to try my damnedest to not let it get me down as it has before. I am older and I have learned to ignore my family and enjoy the times i get to spend with the ones that truly do care. Here's to me in a few months... lets hope that I can get through this, i have had the strength to get this far I can go for the goal!!!

  1. I have done similar things, like: noticing that I don't take up as much room on the bus, that I can fit through turnstiles easier, that I can go on amusement rides and not need help buckling the seat belt, and being more comfortable on a plane.

  2. No you're definitely not crazy! I've lost 65 pounds (and still losing) and it was always more comfortable to use the handicap stall when I was heavier. I CAN use the regular stalls now, but I still prefer to use the bigger stalls. They normally seem cleaner to me because less people use them!

  3. Oh, I have issues with public restrooms, but not in relation to size...mainly the germ thing. I will still not go in a public restroom if I can help it.

  7. I've finally caught up on your blog and I just want to say that I smiled and was sad too :) LOL I'm proud of you for kicking your own butt when you needed to. Sad because of you're moments of feeling lonely. It's sad when we (because I go thru this too) are in a house full of people and feel alone. I've been struggling too... not so much with too much food, but with exercise and smart food choices.
    So remember... You are worth it! You are amazing and beautiful! :)
    And I do know what you mean about public bathrooms. I cringe having to use them more now that my daughter is potty trained. LOL

  8. Sometimes the regular ones are far too small even for the skinniest of people. Grrr. But I know what you mean - it is great to have the choice these days!
