My weight went up fifty pounds almost overnight. No matter how much or how little I ate everything caused the weight gain. Not everyone reacts this way but many do. I was one of the unfortunate ones whose metabolism never returned to normal so I kept gaining even when I was off the drug.

I was able to lose some of the weight I gained but never all. At one time I had a problem with airline seats but not so bad as overweight people do today because seats used to be larger. Today I am okay but I can see the difference in seat sizes.

So maybe if people are overweight they should buy an extra seat but they shouldn’t automatically be blamed for their size. No one really knows how they got there.
Fine, everyone knows there are health and medical reasons ..we get that. for the majority HAVE A SALAD ONCE IN A WHILE

Nice omission that before she even got up the same black woman said "I will not be verbally abused by this b#t(h or anyone else".

Yup she did, and I pointed that out earlier, in post #104.

In the post you quoted, I did not omit anything. I was responding to the poster that suggested that the woman never used the words “two big pigs”.

Maybe the airlines should charge by the pound, or put a surcharge on for each pound over a certain weight. That could include all the extra crap they bring on board.

This whole topic demonstrates why I dont fly.

I used to enjoy it but for reasons of motion sickness I do not. People love having me on trips because I always drive - I cannot stand to passenger, even in the front seat, for very long.

I went back, watched the video and heard the woman referring to the passengers as 'pigs' although I didn't hear it the first time.

Weight loss isn't an easy feat, especially when you have certain factors working against you... and you might think that describes the minority, but I'd guess it is actually the majority. Do you really think anyone would be fat if the solution was simply to "have a salad once in a while?" Doubt it.

Most morbidly obese people eat diets that are atrociously unhealthy. That's the facts, but this still isn't about the condition they are in, it's the seat they put between them for somebody else to end up.

The fat lady called the blonde lady a *****, because the blonde lady is, in fact, a *****. It's good to be un-PC and not libtaaarded, and tell it like it is to *****'s faces.

Amirite, City Data tough guy peanut gallery?
