Didnt keep having to say excuse me

[hopelesscase]

My son works on the top floor of the highest building in the city centre of manchester and last night it was bring yr freinds and family to see the lights. There was champange and canepes and lots of mingling. He is only 19 and is the youngest employee but he works with a great team. even the MD came over to see him and ask him how he was since his accident.
The office is open plan and is to die for the staff rest area is so plush with pool table . table tennis table. game console and gaming chairs and i wouldnt refuse their kitchen in my house.
The views were fantastic, there was a live band and the drinks were free flowing all eve but i stuck to OJ and water and had 3 canapes, a halumi cheese and cherry tomato on a stick, a melon and stuffed olive on a stick and tuna mayo on a thick slice of cucumber.
All that was fantastic but what was even better was walking around and not constantly having to say excuse me as i tried to get my size 26 frame between the gaps. Im now 20/22 and found i was able to stand all eve 3.5 hours.
Apart from the health benifits i cant believe what a knock on effect loosing weight is having.

A fabulous benefit of weight loss. Well done! I hate having to plan a route to the exit/tiolet etc. when I visit a restaurant or the like. I find myself going all around the Wrekin on some most ridiculously convoluted routes to avoid upsetting/disturbing people.

yep hopefully route planning can be left to the sat nav in future rather than my internal one trying to get from A to B. lol

yep its the big tower with the big red light on the top. Just looking at the building didnt expect the plushness. No wonder he loves his job. although he does work hard.

Well done. i hadnt really thought of that problem before, or thought i hadnt until now and sitting here i can think back to numerous occasions where i have either not gone to the toilet and waited (painfully) until i got home rather than try to squeeze past, or plucked up the courage (out of absolute necessisity) and then the "excuse me" "sorry" routine both in and out of the toilet. also in shops i am forever knocking into people, i used to blame others until i realised yet again my size was to blame. (is.. i dont know why i used the past tense..) thinking back now its been a problem for a long time and i hadnt added it to my endless list of problems being LARGE. i really cant wait until i can also move around in company without feeling like a truck. you must be feeling great. go girl XX
