160kg Woman Forced to pay for second Seat

How about a woman who gained weight during her pregnancy? I flew next to an extremely fat woman. She was across the isle from me with her 12 week old baby. She was enormous...if she gained the weight during her pregnancy, is that acceptable? Or is that still a disgusting lifestyle and worthy of having to pay for 2 seats?
 
Fat people come out with all the excuses they can for being fat. Stay off the KFC and MacD's, and exercise more, simple. :D
 
lol

you lot make it sound so simple...none of you have actually experienced it of course.

First step. Cut out ALL snacks between meals. Include omission of ALL fizzy drinks.

2nd step. Cut down portion size.

3rd step. Cut out or significantly reduce a meal.

Need I go on?

Cut out a meal? What a ridiculous suggestion..That would do even more damage as the fat persons body goes into starvation mode and hangs onto its fat.

There is far more to weight loss in the context of the obese than a simple calorie equation. Its something slimmer people seem unable to grasp while sitting atop their ivory towers.
 
Medical things put to one side, one person taking the space of two or infringing on the space of another means that they should either not use that space or pay for the space they need.

Thats fine but whats the situation with people who do the same but for reasons other than obesity?

wide shoulders, long legs, etc etc.
 
Hypothyroidism
Low testosterone
Cushings syndrome
Kidney disease
Heart disease
Liver disease
Depression

Weight increase is not a symptom of those conditions, it is an effect they may or may not have on the individual. If someone has heart disease, it does not mean they will be/get fat.

I dont know what else to offer. You can either take control or continuously come up with excuses. And yes, weight loss IS a simple calorie equation. It is made more complex by additional, often emotional factors, which you have aptly demonstrated.

Good luck, it is your life.

If it is 'an effect they may have' on the individual, then it is a disease that causes that...Your words.

No, it doesnt mean that will definitely get fat..but if they carry on as normal, chances are they will get fatter.

Wait...when did this become about me? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It is not my life.. My life is just fine thank you very much. Just because I find the attitude of some of the slim, but not necessarily healthy people in here to be pathetic, doesnt mean that im one that uses the disease excuses.

Sorry if I was not clear. If you need more than one seat you should pay for more than one seat. If you need one, pay for one.

This is really about the consumer who suffers because of the instigator, not anything else.

*sigh*.... because of a change in lifestyle. The heart disease does not cause the weight gain, the sedetary lifestyle (for example) as a result of having to 'take it easy' does. Or are you in fact confused and mean that obesity causes heart disease, liver disease, etc, in which case the cause is obesity and the effect is the disease.

In any case, the underlying cause of putting on weight because of these conditions is still simply eating more calories than you are burning off though... To quote myself:

No, consuming more calories than you burn make you fat. End of.

Quote yourself as many times as you wish, your original statement was ridiculously simplistic.

Since when is water retention equal to fat?

And what? 100Kg of water retention? Bloody hell I'll plumb her into my house and stop paying Yorkshire water for the rest of the year!
