- Overweight TikTokers have been complaining and petitioning for new "rights" for frequent flyers who are extra large. I have thoughts.

"We're not asking for special treatment, we just want things that no one else will get."
Yes, we NEED an additional seat or two OR THREE!!
Well, you could pay for as many seats as youd like!
Oh hell no!! Im fat so I should get as many seats for free as I want!! LMAO
Was funnier in my head 😂
All people are equal, but some people are MORE EQUAL than others.
If someone has clear medical issues then they might deserve sympathy and accommodation, but not complete redesign. Buses, trains, planes, amusement park rides, and public toilets are made for thousands of people. Her logic would require that everything in society be built for the shortest person and the tallest person and the heaviest person. If you were designing a public restroom on this logic, you'd need all of the stalls to be wider and all of the toilets to have titanium reinforcement. If you only provide one heavy duty, extra wide bathroom, then whoever uses it will be on some level singled out.
She doesn't just want a compromise that kinda, sorta works. She also laments things like odd looks. A world built for her and meant to render her difference invisible would sacrifice efficiency again and again and again. It might mean expecting other people to pay more for plane tickets. With bathrooms, it might require a thought process of "we've redesign the bathrooms at massive expense to improve them. Now they can take half the number of people they could before. You're welcome!" A lot of elements of life are available because the maths worked out.
If it got to the point where people had to pay 10% extra, maybe then some people drop out of flying. If it got to the point where she demanded amusement park rides be redesigned, maybe they tell her "the physics no longer work and we can't afford to rebuild from scratch. We're shutting down. Everyone is now equal in not being able to ride the rollercoaster". Her entitlement is staggering.
It is truly insane that these people expect and demand that everything be accommodated to them with no expense to them.
I have been disabled due to rheumatological diseases since I was a teenager. There are many, many, many places that are inaccessible with a wheelchair, including medical care buildings, I actually have had doctors visit me outside because I couldn't get to their office, yet, even with the ADA if I say something, even just to complain to a friend about how humiliating, degrading, and unfair it is i get told that the world doesn't have to accommodate me.
I have had severe Cushings disease, and as someone who was, for a long time severely cushionoid, which includes a specific distribution of extra body fat, it just made me hate the entitled glutinous people even more, because now no one even considers that it could actually be a medical problem.
Now I have gotten treatment and gotten rid of the excess weight, and multiple other secondary effects of the Cushings disease.
I hated anytime I could tell someone was thinking that I was just lazy, ate crap, didn't excersize, contributed or caused my condition in anyway. I hated being thought of like these entitled people, because I am the opposite.
If severely disabled people who have done nothing to cause their problems don't get free accommodations, how dare people who directed caused their own problems demand that and be so entitled.
@@victorcates9330 precisely and well stated! This is also an engineering 101 rule: you cannot afford to design and build for the extreme - you have to make a conservative judgement call that will safely, economically, easily, and equally serve that majority of those intending to utilize the end product…that is how design standards and regulations are written…we all know the 100 year flood may come but to design for that flood water level is not economical or sensible so the conservative majority of floods is determined and that is used: such as water treatment plant processes must be protected from being inundated by a 50 year or 25 year flood…same with structures and designing for earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, fires, snow loads, rain and wind, heat, pests, etc…a conservative level/limit/characteristics is chosen for a design that considers use, safety, economics, cost, maintenance, materials, etc. This oversize content creator is suggesting things be designed around a small percentage of the population which means it will cost more and realized benefit will be little. She needs to have an adult conversation about reality: either she can apply herself to losing some weight, or she can stop traveling and eating fats foods always on the go, or she can suck it up and live with her choice to remain as she is and make the best of her choices. It is not the responsibility of the vast majority of society to cater to a very very small number of a population…this is where self-accountability and maturity come into play. The large lady needs to GTFU and take responsibility for herself instead of being a bully to brow beat the majority to cater to her to save her feelings and not make her feel lazy for refusing to set limits and put in the commitment for change and compromise. No - we should never compromise with terrorists…and this is just another poster child for the outcome you get with parents that try to be friends and demand participation trophies!
I'm a plus size traveller too... In May 2019, I traveled by air and my seatbelt doesn't fit... Did I ask special accomodations? No!!! I lost 20KG and plan to loose even more so I can travel more comfortably in the future without having to ask everyone else to adjust to me... And I feel so proud of myself for taking that step to better health...
i just wanted to say… congratulations!!! that’s not an easy thing to do and i’m so proud of you! ❤🎉🎉
Congratulations !!!!! Proud of you!!
Same here. I’m also I’m on the taller side for a woman, so knees are no fun. Am I the most comfortable? No. Do i complain? No. Travel is such a privilege. Congrats on your weight loss!
i'm proud of you!
Congrats!!!
I am 14 and was obese. Videos like these disgusted and inspired me to lose 86 pounds and start going to the gym
I just wanted to say congratulations to you! That's not an easy thing to do you should be very proud of yourself
After I injured my knee I put on a lot of weight. I was out of work so couldn't afford a gym so started walking everywhere possible. Still have some way to go but hearing about people like you inspires me to keep going. Thank you👍
That's awesome that you're making a change so young man, you'll have a much happier and healthier life ahead of you.
I'm on my way. I'm working on this but not there only 6lba gone
Congrats dude!
The term “fatphobia” is also absurdly misused. I am not scared of fat people. I just don’t like that the vast majority of them do not make changes to their health to accommodate for both themselves and others. To anyone who made a transformation and put in the grueling effort, thank you and wonderful job.
I'm not afraid of them either, unless they sit on me.
I'm really surprised just at the number of people who are overweight and many overweight people are in the obese category. I know you shouldn't fat shame but it's concerning when you see the younger generations that seem to not care and even brag.
@@silverice9406I'm afraid they might fall on me.
@loveyboo look fat shaming is kind of mean and Is sort of bullying. But, you shoul not embrace being fat and should take proper care of your health before heart disease, diabetes, and many more ruin your life.
@JHL5711 hmm, did you actually read his comment?
They should have a march for this. Twice a week, for a year
For her, three times a week would be much better.
Great comment. Makes total sense. No matter what its a win win situation
Haha! Excellent!
😂😂😂
LMAO
As a plus size/obese person there is nothing positive about it! I have lost 25lbs so far and I'm not stopping. Losing weight takes a lot of self-discipline especially when you use food to cope like I did. I've started exercising and eating in a calories deficit and I'm feeling so much better. I can't wait to see the progress I will have made in the next few months.
GO FRIEND GO!!! You got this!!
The best of luck to you. I am rooting for you! 💜

Facist Fat Frequent Flyers
Not that surprising, most liberals want you to pay for their college too, they all just feel entitled to free stuff
Fats should pay for their own extra seats they need.It's not the fault of the *normal skinny sized person that can fit into those godawful uncomfy chairs* ,but it's the fault of the woman complaining.It's called having self-control,and losing weight but I can see this woman lacks any bit of self-control let alone doesn't care for those around her she has to inconvenience with her large body that can barely even fit if at all inside those chairs,and the rows in between. *LOSE SOME WEIGHT,AND STOP COMPLAINING!Us normal sized SKINNY people shouldn't have to rearranged our lives just because of the lack of self-control.Reminds me of the peanut allergy crap.Rearranged you lives so that one kid doesn't have an allergic reaction!I am so sick and tired of this backwards-upside-down clown world.
I once sat next to a heavy person (super heavy). It was a long flight like 6 hrs . She was smelly all her extra thigh region was touching me . I was cramped to the edge , I was internally crying . When asked to move a little bit she was showing faces and complaining . Unfortunately the seats were full so I had to sit next to her the whole flight . That is the worst day of my life .
The smell , sweat , the lack of space . I cant .

Sorry you had to go through that. I had to seat next to a big lady but she was the other way around. Super aware of her problem, very considerate and willing to accommodate me as well.
The attitude is part of having a problem made worse or making it less annoying.
@@vaderladyl aww 🫠
@@vaderladyl yep, if they are aware and nice about it. It makes a huge difference for both
I was 310 lbs. One day I was at an amusement park and tried getting on a roller coaster and was too large for it. I didn't fight about it because I knew I had unhealthy habits. It gave me the motivation to lose that weight. Don't understand all that new thinking where it's OK to be obese.
I was going to bring this up. A friend of mine was told he couldn't ride because the restraint couldn't close over him. It was unsafe and potentially could have caused a horrific death. What is going to happen now? The workers will feel pressure to avoid "shaming"?? This has happened in the past but it was mostly just negligence, not new social stigma driven. It's so scary to think about.
Exactly the same for me! This thinkingg is so foreign to me as well! I was 330lb and watched as all my fit friends went on the coaster I wanted to go on but couldnt, plus the tightness of the seat on the airplane while visiting my parents also opened my eyes.
This level of entitlement is insane.
Also good on you for having that moment to realize the world cannot possibly accommodate. My grandfather was obese and we couldn't go to movies, or certain restaurants if they had chairs with arms and he could not fit into a booth. It was really sad. I'm happy you've improved yourself and your health and you will live longer and have a better quality of life because of your efforts and bold decisions! Best to you sir!
Congrats on losing weight!
100 more and you'd have the body weight to be a strongman.
But I assume not much of that was muscle.
At this point, I wonder if the discrimination and ridicule they suffered is more towards their entitled attitudes rather than size.
Same. (Also I love your crk pfp)
Always has been. I believe that most people are rational enough to stay silent if they dislike their size. I think they are only criticizing their behaviors.
I firmly believe that a majority of fat people are greedy in nature, which is what I dislike about them. Exceptions occur but I'm sick of this society of "everyone is the exception", no, your traumas and problems that caused your greed and entitlement are irrelevant to me, you're greedy, you're fat, I will not make concessions, I will not coddle you, I will not make room for you.
Yup. Just like race swapping. People aren't really mad about a white character suddenly becoming black, they are about the double standards.
Fat people have been around since time started. Noone really cared until they demanded people love them and now they demand the world cater to them
My dad is 6’5 280lbs and gets cramps anywhere he sits, the movie theater, a stadium, the car, etc. but i have never seen him ask for special treatment once in his life. This is absurd
OMG as a 6,2 guy I am a lightweight 160 I can't imagine my weight being twice
I’m 5’6” and 176 pounds, I have been on a weight loss journey on my own since the beginning of the year, idk why I’m replying here, but I just decided to mention that I’ve been slimming down rather quickly, and since I’m also a kid/teen, I am still growing, making the process quicker. Again, why am I replying to this lol
im 6'3 280lbs myself, and I can sympathise
And he’s got more of an excuse to be that heavy considering he’s a crazy 6’5 so 280 isn’t that that much for a man his height
He's obese because he's eaten too much. Stop crying.
How refreshing to hear "Your life is your fault" from a young person!
I am even not fat but I know how it is to be chronically ill after Covid infection and probably Mecfs And mostly couchbound been told: just move a little bit more. I know that this is not the same condition. Just for awareness. Apart from this I constantly wonder what the American Internet brings people to claim. I would not have made a video myself like this of the fat lady, If it was me. Only maybe if someone has been rude to me. But those constructions are not rude. But nevertheless many healthy people do not comprehend that being fat and sick could be also a health issue you can not always solve easily. Do you know this fat ballerina that is totally fit and trained but yet can not get slim because of her health condition? And I want to add, that I think one should be aware that for the price of traffic on those reaction videos you could be in danger to become also less empathetic. So I probably would not have made a reaction video neither because I do not know the life conditions of this fat lady and do not dare to judge.
it really is a breath of fresh air to hear that
Privileged is an accurate description. I had a childhood friend whose family was very poor and never went traveling or on vacation. Once, my family offered to take the friend with us on our family vacation. We flew on small uncomfortable seats near the back of the plane but my friend cried tears of JOY BECAUSE SHE GOT TO TRAVEL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear, y'all don't know how much you have and how nice your life is.
That is honestly amazing.
awhh very happy for your friend!
shit man and here I was thinking my life sucks cause I don't travel near as much as others get to...
Im an immigrant. Came to usa when i was 9 and can’t leave the country or else i cant return. When i was younger i wondered why i wasn’t allowed to visit my family like my US born cousins. They would travel every year to vacation but i got left behind. The world isnt fair for everyone, i am grateful to be in this country and have everything i have. I could play the victim card but i am so blessed to just be healthy in a home with working utilities food in my fridge and most importantly my family that loves me
IKR? If you ignore or don’t understand how privileged you are to live in/own a house, have food, water, shelter, etc., you’re crazy. And probably entitled
As a thin person, I need 3 free emotional support seats for having to deal with this
Dude, being next to a fat person on the plane sucks, I support this movement of yours.
lmao
And I need them to be free
This gets my seal of approval.🦭
I have been diagnosed with A.R.F.I.D and G.A.D, I support your movement, I demand the same "we are not asking for special treatment"
"youre asking for free things because youve eaten too much" really sums it up perfectly 😂
I think we should remind them that airplane seats are not an all you can sit buffet.
@@SirKaeyaStoleThisAccount 🤣
Is it really fair to expect them to pay for another seat when they've invested all that $$$ in food?!?
And she prolly eat at ayce buffet.
not everyone is fat because of food
One thing she failed to mentioned is the possible uncomfortable situation that unplus sized people may encounter having to sit next to them or between them. Now all their stuff is hanging over onto you and you can't say or do anything about it because now you're the bad guy for sitting next to them.
They're not "unplus sized" they're not fat
You’re the bad guy if you ask them to keep to their side of the armrest. You’re the bad guy if you push them off your arm/lap. And you’re the bad guy if you ask to be reseated. There’s no win.
Can't imagine your seat is next to them, being squeezed and crushed. Can you ask for half price from airline hahaha
She also forgot to mention about the disabled that are obese who are obese because maybe they’re in a wheelchair and they cannot get on the treadmill, so I guess this means cripples shouldn’t either right? If a cripple cannot get on a treadmill they shouldn’t be flying because without the treadmill they’re Fattys am I right?
I love that she got mad that people don’t want to sit next to huge people who are spilling over in the other seat. I’m fat myself and I don’t even want that.
Hehe yeah😂
I have nothing against fat people, even if it’s someone as fat as that entitled airplane girl, but at least have some decency by requesting for a passenger seat with no one next to to you, especially if you know that you’re gonna be spilling over other seats. You pay for one seat, you don’t get to take other seats for free. You don’t force people to pay for your seats too.
Or maybe do better and maybe consider taking care of your weight instead of acting like “I eat whatever I want my body is perfect haha nomnomnom”
I would get thrown off the plane if I had to sit next to that. Things would not be said nicely.
@Matt Lane totally depends on the person, if it's someone that spills into my seat, but has made a real effort to not smell, has clean clothes, and apologizes for the situation, I'm fine with that, but if it's someone that has a slight odor of swet, has a not properly fitting shirt that might have been used for 3 or 4 days and they have the attitude that they deserve half my seat, well than I'm Hella not okay with that
Thankyou for having thick skin.👍
@@kalle5548 i remember a buss trip in boden i had to sit with a fat person huff
She has the audacity to say "We're not asking for special treatment" yet she is asking for free seats 😭😭
The entitlement and audacity 💀💀
😂
theya re asking for speaicla treatment and rights
As some commenter said "All people are equal. But some are MORE equal". This literally describes the whole late 2010s-2020s woke stuff.
It's all about perspective. Airlines might not benefit from giving her free seats, but her local McDonalds probably built her a private booth with a private restroom and a napping bed.
I am confident that this idiot is 100 percent born and grew in Murica
I’m a teenager and I was morbidly obese. At my heaviest I was 230 pounds. I have health complications like asthma and PCOS and other things that make it more challenging to lose weight. Didn’t stop me from losing 40 pounds so far and by the end of my fitness and diet challenge I will weigh 130. Couldn’t be happier. I joined a sport, and as of a month ago started training for my 5k. I plan on joining cross country and track next season. From one woman to another, do yourself a favor and change your lifestyle. I’ve never felt better.
Edit: 5k progress, I can run a full mile now !! 2 more to go!!!
Congratulations! I hope things will go smoothly:D
@@bushral.tasneem5464 thank you 😊
You got this! 💪🏻
When my Gyno told me that gaining weight could lead to PCOS, I immediately started dieting, intermittent fasting and gradually working out. Lost over 20 pounds so far and planning to lose at least another 20 to reach my almost ideal weight. I confirm, it's been so nice having a healthier life style!
I wish you the best of luck!! 🎉
@@sandraaj thank you 💪🫡
Congrats! Make sure you keep it off once you reach 130 if you are able to, don't want you to lose your amazing work
The most uncomfortable sights I've ever had, they sat me next to a woman who was 300-plus pounds and her body was taking up half of my seat. It's not fair to other passengers to have a person that large basically taking three seats
It's really irritating how people say, "I don't want special treatment" in the same breath as "But you have to do this for me and no one else because I obviously deserve it."
Don't expect fat person to say something in one breath.... pun intended.
She’s so entitled that she thinks that she’s the only person that ever in the history of airport security has gotten padded down
Every airport I’ve been to have made you go through a metal detector, search your luggage, and pat you down so I’m sure she wasn’t patted down because of her weight, extremely entitled
@@lexiumm2862maybe she didn't fit through the metal detector😅

@@Books_with_ma fr, if they have the privilege for all the food that they eat to be that big, they can definitely afford a first class ticket
The narcissism is mind-blowing. They want everyone else to make sacrifices for them due to their 'discomfort', forgetting the fact that the discomfort experienced by the poor soul put in the seat next to them far supersedes that. Selfish people. As a society, we have to say no to these people.
So grahamvincent2133, I have a non-curable bone disorder. Yes, according to the doctor, it is non-curable that put me in a wheelchair for life. So you’re saying I should get out of the wheelchair get on the treadmill at the gym and lose the weight? How bigoted of you!!!!!! I have an actual physical physical physical physical physical limitation and you’re telling me I should get on a treadmill and go to the gym excuse me how brain-damaged are you if I am in a wheelchair how am I going to get 30 minutes on the treadmill, so does that tell you not everyone fat is their fault why don’t you Google osteoporosis it means bone loss bone loss bone loss which is only going to get worse worse worse worse overtime. In about 10 years it is going to be so bad. I will need two people to help me out of my wheelchair and onto a freaking toilet. You tell me how people like me can go work out and lose the weight people need to get over themselves some people can’t lose weight cripples cannot get on a treadmill cripples cannot get on a treadmill cripples cannot get on a treadmill cripples cannot get on a treadmill when you are at the airport look around if people are in wheelchairs or they have walkers or they have canes. They are physically unable to go to the gym and get a workout. Use your eyes and your brain please
If you’re going to attack all all all all Fattys, why not attack those who cannot get up and go to the gym, let’s make fun of the disabled and say the disabled shouldn’t get on as well
as Ricky Gervais once said, "If airplanes were built to accommodate plus sized people, we'd get nine people on the plane."
He would laugh his ass off about the toilets
@@annatomasik6927 most definitely
I love Ricky Gervais. He said about how fat people always look so nice with their lovely make up and their hair as well as all dressed up. There is just nothing they won’t do to look pretty - except for eat less and exercise. Even before I lost 70lb of my excess weight and was still huge I still found him really funny.
That isn’t even close to being accurate lmao y’all just look for an excuse you can to demonize plus sized people.
@@sonic_aquarius we're not demonising anyone. Plus sized people aren't demonic or evil, but they shouldn't be able to demand things that other people can't get just because they're severely overweight. If it was due to a disability I can understand that and will support whoever needs aid, but it definitely is a choice when these people refuse to loose weight. You can't claim to be the victim when your the cause.
And obviously you should buy more seats yourself if you need them - its not amicable for airlines to spend extra money on every overweight person that is too big to fit in the seats.
Life for these plus sized people will be much easier if they understand that due to their weight they can't do certain things. If you don't put the effort into loosing weight you must accept that you can't do some things. Aeroplanes can only take so much weight and if you want to travel on one, make sure the airline knows your heavy and buy the seats for your weight yourself. Its only right.
Lack of accountability seems to be a reoccurring theme for certain groups these days. Its sickening.
Lack of accountability caused their problem to begin with - if they had accountability, they wouldn't look like they do.
Agreed!!!!!!
Some people seem to be well aware of their 'Rights' but have completely lost sight of their 'Responsibilities'.
there is a lack of accountability in just about every setting these days. Politically speaking, both sides equally do not want to be accountable.
I'm overweight and I struggle to fit into amusement park rides. My thought, either I lose weight or I don't ride. What I don't do is expect everyone to change for my bad health choices. It only encourages me more to be more healthy.
this is the only fellow fat person that i have ever agreed with.
I'm a former fat and I agree with you. If everything was catered to me, I might not have felt the need to change. I developed a severe health problem directly tied to my weight (I was going blind). I am certain that if the fat activists were as prominent, I would have fought losing weight and would have gone through a bunch of drugs & surgery to help me out a little.
I suggest watching Gary Taubes lecture Good Calories, Bad Calories and watch The Oiling of America. A lot of really good information about the history of nutritional science and where and when it failed. The old 1950s British diet in the prologue works for most people. The exception is if you have food allergies. Then you might need to go carnivore for a few weeks and then add back one real food a week. Weigh yourself the morning you add the food and the next morning. A massive weight increase is a red flag. Indicates inflammation. Also look for other issues like rashes, bloating, constipation, or the other. Keep a diary and record everything. If a food has two ingredients like soy sauce, list both.
Most diet advice is based on the Ad vent ist cult agenda. Which is basically telling people to lose weight on the same diet advice that farmers use to fatten livestock cheaply. It works for about 20 percent of people. The non carb sensitive.
If you eat an apple on an empty stomach and you are more hungry after you are carb sensitive. If you have the hunger shakes, you are very carb sensitive.
America's eat 100 fewer calories a day than 20 years ago. But obesity has increased. Eighty percent of obese and fat people have metabolic syndrome. Sixty percent of normal and thin people also have metabolic syndrome. The number of diabetes is growing, including skinny type 2 diabetes. All red flags that something is dreadfully wrong.
Seed oils besides increasing your heart and stroke risk, cancer risk, also damage the pancreas. Big problem if you need to lose weight.
Another issue to watch for is floride in the water. Along with a Ad vent ist based diet it can ruin your thyroid. Three tests are need and most doctors preform the most useless of the three. Take your temperature first thing in the morning. Good indicator if it is low.
Back over 12 years so when still listening to the so called experts mine was always 94. It took 10 years of eating a human diet, but it is now 98.6. Normal. Other health issues cleared up much faster.
I got kicked off a roller coaster once. I’ve since gone from 370 to 220. 40 more pounds to go and losing 5 lbs a month as a strict carnivore.
@@smashy_smasherton way too go! Keep it up. Every pound is closer to your goal. I know it's hard but you can do it. 🙂
The airlines have a box to check if your carry-on bags will fit in the overhead. They should have a seat there that you have to fit in, or otherwise, they must pay for extra seats.
Yeah as someone who thought it was ok to be 356 pounds at one point in my life. I would like to thank videos like these for the inspiration to go and better my self I’m now down 134 pounds. Thank you❤

Fun fact: As a European one is instantly stunned by the huge seats Americans have in their planes as well as cinemas. At first you don't understand why, because you honestly would not think a human needs that much space. But sadly, once you look around in the USA, you understand why...
Yea.. I'm 6'2" and 185 lbs. And, as an American who has traveled the world, I realized that there are fat people everywhere. So, get over yourself.
Umm, while Americans seems to have an over abundance of plus size, I wouldn't count Europe (or at least certain parts of it) out of the running. While in visiting FL, my eyes were assaulted by several obese Euro men wearing banana hammocks (not saying the ladies were dainty but at least they had more on). Somethings can never been unseen.
Historically European have not struggled with obesity as much as USA. That is changing though. It’s really a problem in many countries now. I see the demands for extra accommodations as trying to deny that obesity is a choice. It is a choice. You can either choose to control your intake and exercise or not control. One of my morbidly obese coworkers and I were talking one day. He said, it’s easy for you you are naturally skinny. I can’t help being this fat. I called another lady over and said, hey, C, what app do you use to track your calories and exercise. She was also in good physical condition but I didn’t know if she logged everything ( like me) or not. I was guessing. She enthusiastically launched into a discussion of the various apps and their merits. I shared what I used and she left. His jaw was dropped open. He assumed that two healthy weight 45 year old women didn’t watch their food and exercise?! It’s easier to use the excuse that you are naturally fat and others are naturally skinny than it is to admit you are just too lazy to care.
Many years ago I was at a fast food restaurant and was sitting myself minding my own business when this larger woman came in with about 4 kids and demanded a seat. She stared at me and others with a frown as if to say "When will one of you leave!" I just took longer to finish my food :)
I would also.
@@hansdampf640 I read that years ago.
That would have made me use the chew your food fifty times rule literally.
I would do the same *and* stare at her as i eat the food very slowly XD
Were there no other available seats?
So annoying, i was recently on an 9 hour flight. I'm tall, so i paid for a seat with extra legspace. Ended up standing, sitting on the floor, because a fat person sat on half my freaking seat! Flight was fully booked, so i ended up sitting in the flight attendants seat, cause you arent allowed to sit on the floor, which is even more uncomfortable then a regular seat.I was sooo upset. I am apperentlyy asking for too much if i want the entire seat that i paid for.
i am so sorry that it happened to you.
Having purchased my airplane seat and then discover that I can only use half of it because I’m sitting next to a (censored word), makes me think that person should be buying half MY seat!
I have had this situation in theaters too. They almost need to require people over a certain size to purchase two seats. If you are going to occupy 2 seats than you need to pay for two seats. In airplanes, theatres, and anywhere else with assigned seating you are paying for the space you occupy, so if you are occupy 2 seats you should pay for 2 seats.
Been there, they don’t think about us and they are taking up soooo much room I can’t put my own arms by my side in my own seat, I have to sort of put them in front of me bc they are spilling onto my seat 💺
Imagine the arguments where customers are claiming to be plus-sized but the airline tries to tell them they aren't fat enough to qualify for the free second seat. "Sir, we are going to need you to remove your shirt and step on this scale for a thorough evaluation"
"I identify as plus-sized. Give me free seats" 😂
hahahah
I'm 6'3 and I also experience at least half of those. My knees are in the bathroom door, my tray barely opens, my shoulders are wide and the armrests are too narrow. Only difference is I didn't choose to be this way, and there's nothing I can personally do to help my situation.
It really frustrating. I’m 1,98 meter that’s a real problem in airplanes, cars, hotels etc. Even in the Netherlands where the average length 1,83 meter for male, standard bed length is 2 meter in hotels, hospitals etc.
Same here chief. 203, and gotta pay an extra $100 for extra room. I didn't choose this, but I ain't gonna bitch about it
If u chop ur legs off u should be able to lose about half your height,
kind regards
@@linequalsbox7469 Same here, 6'3, 240 lbs jacked af lol. I'm fortunate enough to fly first or private which gives me extra space. Though I understand not everyone can which sucks to think about.
Oh you would be surprised what a liberal doctor will cut off without medical necessity
I have two things to say in reference to this situation. First, several years ago, I read an article about a small airline in the south pacific that had a problem with large passengers and smaller planes that had a limited overall weight capacity on their planes. I believe they where based in Samoa and the market could not support paying for bigger planes for what were primarily short haul flights. After a great deal of thought, some incredibly brilliant person came up with a solution. Each seat would have a weight allowance which included the total weight of passenger and their belongings - no exceptions. If you wanted to bring more, you could pay for another seat and get another weight allowance or if the there was some weight to spare after everyone was accounted for, you could pay by the pound by for whatever fell within the planes capacity.
The second thing I have to say concerns a close friend who did not want to be drafted in the late 1960's. He did not want to move to Canada so he began to eat large amounts of fattening foods to raise his weight substantially over the acceptable limit for the draft lest they decide he wasn't that much overweight and draft him and put him in what was then known in Basic Training as the STC or Special Training Company where you worked very hard to correct the problem. While he was not drafted, he had put on so much weight that his Potassium level in his blood and his Blood Pressure both rose significantly. Afterwards, he was unable to loose the weight and is on medications for numerous medical conditions which can be traced to the weight gain. He was very successful at his job but this required frequent air travel world wide so he always booked to adjacent seats and he, not the company, paid for the second seat. He would look at someone who would say the airline owed him the second seat for free as if they had two heads, neither of which had a functioning brain cell.
Every time someone says plus size there needs to be a person pop up to say “ you mean morbidly obese.”
If someone is actively trying to lead a healthier lifestyle I will call the plus sized to encourage them but otherwise people are really just morbidly obese
It's like when morbidly obese women call themselves "curvy". Yeah let's call it foe what it is, if you're 100 pounds overweight then you're morbidly obese.
You mean FAT????😂
Disgusting should be the word. These people need to called out for what they are
multiplication size.
Sometimes I feel insecure about my size, but this video reminds me that I can at least fit in public seats and not worry about breaking them
I feel this
NGL Taylor is a looker.
Taylor you are stunning dear
You should also remember that you could probably walk a mile without falling to the floor, can speak a sentence without being short of breath, you can stand up without running immediately out of energy - that’s the reality of their life.
It’s okay to feel insecure about yourself, and theirs very few people who love their body - but providing you are living your life any way you want, then find reason to be happy. You might not love yourself today, or tomorrow, but in 5 years time - you will look back at yourself and realise you were a star.
Me too 😂
It's bewildering. I'm an obese man myself. I haven't flown for 30 years because I know I would make fellow passengers uncomfortable as well as myself. I can't even begin to understand the thought process that I would merit a second seat without paying for it.
You get W
Besides, road trips are more fun anyway
your right but you should not care what other ppl will feel it is a short flight and if you r unconfortable then maybe lose a bit or just buy an extra seat( might have to save up)in conclution travelling is a beautiful thing and you should have stopped it for 30 years just becuase of what ppl would think for a couple of hours>hope this made u rethink and get back our confadence[ino i canot spell fot the life of me]
Life is too short to not fly for 30 years because you care about what people think of you.
@@fardowsayassin4163 some people just don't care for travel, overweight or not. Personally, I only care for travel if I'm going to an event or a specific place like universal studios or something. Travel for the sake of travel is unappealing.
Well said! 2 years ago I had a huge binge eating disorder and undiagnosed ADHD and my weight ballooned to 310 lbs. I worked out, saw a therapist, got on meds (not ozempic) and I’m now 285. I can’t express how much losing just 20-25 lbs will make you feel like a whole new person, esp when you do it safely. Once you start seeing results, you’ll just be so driven to continue.
Were you crippled and in a wheelchair? Unable to use a treadmill at a gym? Do you have permanent bone loss also known as osteoporosis putting you in a wheelchair for life? Maybe these are things that need to be explored. Sometimes the persons fat is not their fault so I’m in a wheelchair for osteoporosis I guess that means I shouldn’t fly, even if I can sit in a middle seat with the armrest down, I’m still a fatty fatty fatty fatty because I can’t go to the gym. What are rude world we live in such bigoted world.
I’m S/XS and my 5 hour flight yesterday was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Airplanes are typically not comfortable for anybody!
Newsflash: if you’re getting the same as everyone else gets then it isn’t discrimination. Asking for things that another class of people don’t get (non-plus sized people in this case) that’s called special treatment. The price of free extra space for you WILL get passed onto consumers. The rest of us. So she is literally asking for the general population to pay for her choice to stay at her weight.
As someone who used to be overweight (and still struggles with my weight and stuff) I learned that it's alot easier to lose weight than people think. It just comes down to how determined you are. I didn't like how I looked so I changed it.
The hardest part is to start for real
For me it was the mental motivation to go to the gym knowing that there was gonna be pain in there. I still do not like the gym coz it is hard work but I know now that it is part of what is needed to bring me to a healthy lifestyle.
The hardest part is to keep doing it. And make simple life changes( notice I didn’t say easy) like eating more protein centric meals, eating more home cooked food made with quality ingredients and healthy fats instead of cheap industrial seed oils, walk 15 min after every meal, sleep like its your job and lift weights at least 3 times a week. The discipline to keep doing these things is the difference between getting to a healthy body fat percentage and staying fat forever hoping others foot the bill for your poor life choices.
True facts. It can be hard to be a size 6 but it’s not that hard to get down to a size 16. And size 16 allows you to access whatever you need without issue.
@@neilmartis17992 always do the workout that you enjoy when possible. If the gym is too daunting go for a walk. Walking is a great exercise and 30 min/day can make a huge difference.
Ask if the cargo bay is pressurized and heated. They load via forklift or scissorlift, so you are covered
I'm a significantly overweight guy(my shirts are 4XL), and people like that woman piss me off. I don't want to be "fat-shamed" any more than the next person, but people like her are trying to swing the pendulum too far. The planes don't magically become bigger or able to carry more weight for the same fuel cost just because you demand accomodation.
As a 55 yr old plus size woman (285lbs), I am always embarrassed when traveling BUT I just get the window seat and don’t move and then ask for the seatbelt extender when everyone has gotten seated…… YES it is embarrassing BUT I don’t expect anything from anyone around me (usually not much respect as a human). I’m working on it, haven’t worked out in 5 years due to cancer BUT getting ready to kick the lazy a$$ out of myself and get healthy. Love your videos!! 💕💕
All the best to you hon ❤️
Consistency is key ✨ So just ensure that you have the motivation to continue when you start
Good to hear. It will benefit you
About the same as me when I started my routine, I lost 14 lbs in 2 weeks just walking up the hills where I live every day until I didn't have to stop for breath by the time I got to the highest hill, add this sort of routine to a good diet with veg, eggs, lean meats/fish or substitutes if your a veggy and you will soon feel like a new person in those first 2 weeks. And if you really have a craving for something sweet have a protein drink.
Good luck hon glad you are on the mend too 😊
My dad is plus sized and he just gets an emergancy exit seat. He is working on changing his size but that takes time, he makes adjustments based on his needs and dosen't expect or demand the world to change for his, I love my dad he hs taught me so many things.

"Special treatment" is literally what she is asking for. Thank you for posting this
I love watching her speeches regarding changes for plus-size passengers. I need some more comedy in my day
There is absolutely nothing wrong with "refusal" to sit next to these people.
I used to weigh 350 lb I had a size 6X shirt and his size 50 pants it was nobody's fault but my own and when I got tired of hauling around the weight of two people, I decided to lose one of them. It ain't nobody's fault but my own I broke my bed frame just by sitting down. I was big and it was cuz I ate all the time. I love to eat. I still love to eat but I got up off my butt and work exercising, walking and lost down to 215 lb can't nobody make you lose weight except for yourself and if you worried about sitting on something and breaking it, we might want to start thinking about you know losing some pounds
Good for you glad your feeling lighter 🎉

I was once on a course in the US (travelled from Denmark) with a coworker. We were just starting when a couple of humongous women walked in.
1st woman: Sorry, we had to drive here.
My friend, grinning: Did you get stuck in the traffic?
2nd woman, scowling: No, just the car.
I’m a pilot, we have those policies such as, only 1 seatbelt extender, only 1 seat etc. for safety reasons. Number one above all else is in the event of an evacuation you may get stuck, otherwise find it difficult to move and will endanger/kill others who are stuck behind you trying to get out.
As someone who watches Mentour pilot and 74 Gear channels i feel sorry for what pilots have to go through. Especially when it comes to dealing with self-confident smartasses,who think that every word can turn into reality in a blink of an eye. If i remembered correctly Peter described such issue in relation to car accidents. It was something about when those who are not in the industry, values technical solution ( fix car design ) over behaviour change. But i may be wrong.

"Without fear of being discriminated against for our size." This is the one group of people in which discrimination can save their lives...
Absolutely!!! They shouldn’t even be considered human. Worse than animals
Exactly, where I am from you can get essentially arrested for health reasons, mainly mental health reasons where you are a danger to yourself, even things like refusing to take meds which will lead to your death (I saw someone who this had happened to because they were diabetic and refused to take their insulin). Why can’t they have something similar for extremely obese people? Take them in, make them exercise and control what they eat. By not doing anything about their weight they are a danger to themselves, so it is along the same sort of reasoning as someone with a mental illness or refusing to take meds being a danger to themselves.
Discrimination almost never saves lives. Most of the times it ruins them.
@@iridalydia try applying a bit of thinking here.

Maybe the answer would be to charge for tickets based on weight? If your luggage is overweight, you pay extra, so if you need extra seating PAY EXTRA!
There was a case just recently because Southwest Airline actually kicked people off the plane to accommodate a fat person. Still took their luggage though, so they were stranded with NO luggage in an airport, JUST because a fatty, who didn't book ahead had to be accommodated! The victims of this HAD paid full price!
As a tall person with a large skeleton, designing planes with extra leg room would be nice, but asking for an extra seat is ridiculous 😂
Same. I’m 6’ 2”.
To the point where she said some people wouldn't even sit next to her there's a reason, a lot of people that big can no longer properly clean themselves so they try to cover any odor with heavy doses of perfume/cologne to the point it becomes sickening.
It's probably also because she's taking up half or more of their seats so they can't fit into their own seat.
It’s kinda weird how they complained that people are refusing to sit next to them, probably because they don’t want to be in discomfort, yet they want free accommodation to improve their comfort.
A while ago I flew on an airplane for the first time in a few years, and was relatively uncomfortable in my seat. I still fit in it, and wasn’t touching the person next to me, but it was a wake up call. Next time I’m flying, I will fit in that seat properly, been working hard to get to a healthy weight.
Instead of complaining the chair is too small, I just realised my ass was too big.
"We dont want to be disciminated by our size" except thats not your natural or healthy size. You chose to be that way, you pay the seats.
Imagine the outrage if they started charging fare per lb- it only makes sense, heavier cargo takes more fuel to transport
@@gatergates8813 Heck, that could solve obesity. Japan has a fat tax- hence a skinny, healthy populus.
Exactly!
Some people don't choose to be that size. HOWEVER that doesn't mean they have the "right" for those extra accomodations, unless they paid for it.
@@qwmxi agree, to be that size you have to be on a very bad place mentally. When im sad i eat my feelings or i just dont eat. When im happy again, i shrink/grow back to normal. Now, you have to eat a lot to be that size. Your body cannot create matter out of nowhere. You body doesnt violate the basic principles of physics

On really long flights over 3 hours, seats have to be more comfortable and spacious regardless of persons size and height. I get it, airlines trying to make as much money as possible but airplanes cabins are way too crammed.
I was next to a plus size person in a 3.5 hour flight. My hands were in my lap because i could not use the arm rest as they could not fit if it was down. They asked me if I could move my elbow because it was in their side. I said unfortunately I do not possess the ability to remove my arm. They got mad so i requested to be moved and they put me in business class. The person then got mad i was upgraded and the flight attended politely said I'm sorry but you similarly make the people next to you uncomfortable if i moved you.

I am a former Airport ramp agent and medic. We had an emergency declaration on arrival with with a passenger having a heart attack. A very, very, very overweight passenger refused to get out of the seats, yes seats , to let the paramedics through. ."I can't move" luckily the heart attack passenger survived, just.
As someone who in the last year has gone from 249lb down to 141lb myself, I can honestly say that I absolutely LOATHE the fat acceptance/positivity movements and I always have even when I was bigger.
Don't get me wrong, everyone is human and deserves to feel comfortable in the skin they're in, but at the same time you can't EXPECT the world to coddle you and bend over to accommodate you
When you're that size, you are not the norm for society, you are not healthy and you are not entitled to demanding things be changed to fit your (massive) needs.
We don't have needles available in bathrooms for junkies, we don't have free additional food on a standard priced serving plate just because someone can eat more that the average person.
You are not entitled, you either pay for your extra seat because that is what YOU require, or you lose weight to fit the standard sizing.
Stop letting your 'friends' yasslight you into thinking you're some plus-sized queen who deserves the world to bow down to your requirements, that's not how the world works.
I’m plus sized now and I don’t really like the fat positivity movement… like obviously love yourself and treat yourself with kindness (which they all agree with). To me being kind to myself is fueling my body with healthy food, drinking water, and engaging in physical hobbies such as swimming, hiking, or playing a sport to stay moderately active. A lot of people who support the fat acceptance movement don’t necessarily include that in their beliefs which I find weird. love yourself for who you are today but strive to be a better (healthier, happier, successful, etc…) person tomorrow. I do agree though that not everybody can healthily get to every size. It’s one of those things that I agree with parts of the message… but people take it way too far sometimes
That’s awesome with the weight loss, I have tumors and have been Working at loosing mine so I know how hard it is.
Congratulations on your weight loss. I’m in the same journey. Lost 90 pounds so far. I was never too big to fit into one seat but I’ve always felt that our

True. Being disabled isn’t something as in your control as obesity. Not like you can adopt a lifestyle and grow back a limb and I’m not trying to sound horribly insensitive it’s just my sense of humor sorry. But implementing more wheelchair ramps and other related projects seems like a reasonable Accomodation. And I don’t even have a problem with some accommodations for larger people, which airlines do offer but also it’s a plane. There’s a limited amount of space. It’s just how it is.
That’s because people before you already FOUGHT to change the world around you. I bet you use the handicapped parking space, right? What if you were denied something just for being you? You don’t know what it’s like until you’ve been excluded from something for being yourself. This entire video is hate speech imo.

"Worried about breaking a toilet" I've actually seen this happen, although not in public. Someone broke the toilet in the control room bathroom at the power plant where I worked. He was well over 300 pounds, but it still took a pre-existing flaw in the porcelain to accomplish the fact.
The only reason she is asking for handicapped accessible bathrooms is so that she has more room for herself. She doesn't care about the people that actually need those facilities.
I have a handicapped mother and I hear her complain all the time that larger people use the handicapped stalls because they offer more room. This causes her to have to wait when all the regular stalls are vacant.
My favorite was when she said that she was "Forced" to fly one a plane where the seats had fixed armrests.
Really? Was she kidnapped? Held at gunpoint?
It was the way she said "only one" seat... as if one seat for one person is an outrageous concept
If you can afford to be so big that you need 2 seats, then you can definitely afford that second seat 😂
I mostly agree with you. There are some people who have a genetic predisposition towards obesity, and you can't really help what family and genetic tendencies you'll be born to. However, there are still things that can be done to combat that! Namely, more exercise and changing your diet.

Im a quadriplegic person who travels quite a lot. Most people often overlook the fact that wheelchair users haven't had easy access to air travel if we use wheelchairs. And we are working on that. But I feel like more people need to mention disability and wheelchair users within this conversation of fat entitlement in regards of air travel. Don't get me started talking about disability injustice… Oh girl! We still don't even have marriage equality for disabled people on welfare, we don't have employment equality, housing equality, education equality… Don't forget about people with disabilities.
Exactly and the big delta is that you didn’t chose to be in a wheelchair. I am fully supportive of actual physical disability being accommodated. Obesity is not a disability. It’s a choice
I just ranted about this wooman this morning! There are 2 options laid out for her. 1) diet and exercise at a consistent rate to lower your weight and not have to deal with these struggles or 2) shut the hell up. If you need an extra seat, buy an extra seat. No one in their right mind would ever just pay for your extra seat. It's truly unbelievable that people can be and are this entittled.
"Being fat is not a choice" for some people that is true. I've seen my mom try every possible way to lose weight. Different types of diets and exercises but she still stays the same weight. She doesn't really gain or lose weight. Right now she barely eats but when she does eat she doesn't eat freely and says she's on a diet. She's also constantly exercising and nothing seems to work.

I’ve been overweight most of my life and it’s only been in the last two years that I’ve completely taken control of my health, and changed my lifestyle to be physically active every day. When I was in uncomfortable situations for my size like plane seats I never once thought that the airlines needed to accommodate me. I always thought I should be the one to be more responsible with my health. Now as a healthy person who works hard to maintain it though diet and exercise, I find influencers like her infuriating.
Me too and good on you! I have maintained a healthy weight for six years going from fat to healthy sized and within the BMI for my height and age.
The truth hurts
The cost of the flight is divided between the number of tickets, so the more seat they can fit on the plane the cheaper the price of each tickets, space is same so more seat means smaller seats. Budget airlines will do all that they can to fit more seats in to lower the cost of each ticket because that is the demand, there is also the weight limit which divides up into allocations for each seat or passenger, limiting how much luggage each passenger can bring. If you want more space, more leg rooms, more weight limit per passenger, you have to go with a plane that has fewer seats and hence higher price per ticket. Pretty simple concept. If she and every other oversized passengers get free extra seats or upgraded seats for free, everyone else has to pay more for their ticket to cover the costs. A 300 seat plane with 30 such cases means it can only fit 270 passengers each paying 11% extra to cover the 30 free seats.
I've said this before; unless you have medical condition or under medication that made you that way, there's no excuse.
Pilot here 👋🏼 More weight equals increased fuel burn! Hence increased costs to the airline, which is passed on to customers ticket prices.
The FAA assumes the average passenger plus carry on weighs 190lbs.
Big fan btw… thanks Brett!
Sick of people blaming everything and everyone else because they got fat. I used to be overweight and I took the blame to myself and copped on lost the excess weight. I've no six-packs or washboard abs but the very least is my gut is not spilling over to the seat next to mine
As a retired airline Captain, CEO and owner of my own FAR 121 airline. We have a saying: "We lose money by dollars, we make money by pennies." There is also an old joke: "how to you make a million dollars in the airline industry. Buy an airline for $10 million dollars."
The Handicap bathroom idea is actually a good idea. But many small regional Jets ONLY have ONE bathroom. Ditto with small turboprops. Small Corporate turboprops or jets either don't have a bathroom or you have to move luggage around to get to it. How could the industry make a toilet seat to accommodate a 110 lb woman and a 650 lb woman? Every plane that had at least ONE Lav would have to be retrofitted and sheet metal has to be cut. (If you've ever started a restaurant without enough sinks in the kitchen...cutting concrete becomes expensive). It would probably be CHEAPER to start with the next generation of airliners!!!! And to Ms. Entitlement, EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD BOILS DOWN TO COSTS.
I've seen passengers board who weighed 600+ and it is embarrassing for them. But not because airplanes are designed wrongly...but because you ignored the Manufacturer's OEM Standards for Human Weight Limits! I flew Muhammed Ali one time and he needed some extra room. Many Pro Football players as well. Talk about a small room, I''m 5'4" and the cockpits are actually designed for pilots like me...I've seen First Officers who are 6'4" struggle to get into and out of the seats!!!!! Are we supposed to redesign the cockpits for LARGE pilots??? What about space capsules? Nuclear submarines? Coal mining equipment 5,000' underground?
Next year will she demand PLUS SIZED Roller Coasters with safety bars built to accommodate 600+ lb riders? What does she and her partner DO when they travel to a small country and the small hotel has a flimsy elevator that can barely transport just ONE of you???? 8 Billion people Mamm, the world isn't made for you. Sorry.
Next time I'm inline for a Zipline in Costa Rica and I see you in line...I'll let you go first and hide myself from the ricocheting 1/4" steel cable that is going to snap! Halfway down! Maybe contact Lizzo and get a Buddy Plan from Nutrasystems. Life is short...live as long as you can.
What about people that are forced to have their space occupied by plus size travelers, had a 6 hour flight one time, where the person next to me was pretty much on top of me because of how big he was. I did not even have MY seat, that I paid for...
I d’ be having a real problem I have sensory issues. I don't like being touched be honest I d’ be crying screaming.. Sensory issues re” an issue for me.
Wow, that is so messed up.
All of those “issues” that woman had can be fixed by not being um you know … fat. I agree with Brett, it’s her fault for getting to that size. And I ain’t paying for her poor life choices. “We are not asking for special treatment…” uhhhhh what?! That’s exactly what she’s asking for! 🙄😑 She decided to get fat so she must pay for that result. 🤦🏻♀️ Someone else mentioned this, if I have to pay extra for being 1lb over then she can pay for that extra space.
The wheelchair accessible bathroom is a wonderful idea. My brother often travels with his crutches and wheelchair and it would be much less of a hassle for an accessible bathroom.
Brett- who is harming you?!
Me- food? lmao🤣🤣
2:55 " Who is harming you"
answer is : Type 4 diabetes ( because they ate Type 2 and 3 )
This is like someone who 7 feet tall demanding that all ceilings and doorways be the right size for them
Yes, unlike you can actually control your weight (in most cases)
It's worse because you can't so much control your height
I honestly can't wrap my head around in how some people can get soo fat, there's being overweight, then there's being Jabba the Hut size, like how can people who don't work and claiming benefits afford that much food to get soo fat
I always wondered about that too.
Gorlok the destroyer
I'm a biggish guy.
6ft tall and weigh about 95 kg.
How do i cope in economy?
All though I do fit in an economy seat , i prefer to work a bit harder, fly premium economy and have plenty of room.
Also if you are already paying for premium, you have far more chance of being upgraded to business
As a fat person myself, you made me realize that I ain't entitled to anything, I just need to lose weight 😂
good job
thats good! it will benefit you greatly, in so many ways
@@Isaac-jp3ib wow, I didn't expect any replys, thank you ☺️
@@Uncivil_Dreams thank you, I understand it will, that's why I'm trying ☺️☺️
Just don't starve yourself, start replacing sugar and carbs with natural alternatives and it'll melt away.
me: trying to catch when Brett will switch into a sponsorship
Brett: *proceeds to switch into sponsorship mid-sentence*
me: gosh darnit, she’s done it again 😭
Yeah she always does that she cuts herself off.
i saw this yt short and it said that this guy went on a plane (normal sized guy) and he was sitting next to a plus size passenger. before the guy sat down, the plus size guy informed him happily, saying “Don’t worry. I payed for 2 seats.” THIS is what we need, not whatever the free crap is. if you want to be comfortable, spend extra or change yourself. don’t expect people to change to fit your needs, you need to change to fit the world.
This makes it seem that it's waay easier to modify whole planes to accommodate “plus-size” travelers rather than to make lifestyle choices
Brett lowkey inspiring me to get my act together on the health front lmao istg every time I'm snackin and just chilling watching RUclips, I see one of her videos that talks about taking responsibility for your health and I'm like.....damn she's right [puts away doritos]
