It is NOT just you. I know because I weighed over 500 pounds when I started my journey that there were lots of things I was excluded from. Many times I could not go to certain restaurants because I could not fit at their tables or sit in chairs that have arms. I still struggle with walking long distances and so if some were going shopping at a place where they did not have the riding carts then I could not go. I cannot ride in certain cars because it is too hard to get out of them. So...even though I am down around 390 or so I still cannot go with or participate in things that my family is doing.

I will say that it is getting better but it still hurts my heart knowing I am not able to participate because of my weight.
