If you see an overweight (not morbidly obese) woman in a crowded area, give her your seat. Don't say anything, she'll take it and quietly seethe about you assuming she's pregnant.

She won't even be able to freak out at you, so the seethe will last all day.

Trying to keep it short, I have a habit of being long-winded.

I'm flying to the USA, I had a ticket with both me and my husband booked in Feb 23. I called last week to book an extra seat for me because I am fat, and they were happy to do that. So they split me from my husband's ticket and booked me a new ticket, I had to fill out a medical form (which I don't really need as Obsitiy wasn't on the form, and pay the Dr to do it) and had my seat confirmed. I did it with the dude on the line, we booked it, we saw it, we confirmed it twice. But I didn't get my ticket in the email he said it might take up to 3 days. I rang a few times during the week to ask where my ticket was to be told it was being processed, don't worry about it.

Today I was told they can't do the extra seat because part of my flight is with AmeriKKKan Airlines and they can't confirm my extra seat so the whole ticket is void and now I have to buy a new ticket. The tickets are no longer on sale so I have to pay the extra $1K to get my seat back on the same flight and I still don't have that extra comfort seat that started this whole issue in the first place!

Lots more but that's enough for now.

Let's peek at controversial

Sounds like the easiest thing would be to lose weight.

Sadly, you have outdated knowledge. There is more and more scientific research coming out about genetics and peoples unique dna. What they are finding is that there are certain groups of people that not only absorb fat more, it takes longer for them to lose it. Its not just "metabolism" anymore, it points to certain genetic structures and even gut bacteria can play a huge part. [snipped about 3,000 words of ]

Absolutely delusional, probably believe in perpetual energy machines too since that's what you're basically describing

If this is a sign now is a good time to get in shape and get healthy!

Whoops, I think you missed this!

"I have been dealing with my weight for a few years, my doctor is happy with me, I am healthy (enough) I am being seen by like 3 specialists about my weight, I am doing everything I can!"

They didn't miss it, just the kind of buttholes who love to jump on posts like this and berate someone online to compensate for their own issues.

Might not do much but write to your local MP about Qantas. I have. People need to complain.

I'm all for complaining but your local MP can't do anything about Qantas. ACCC would be the place. Alternatively the media.

let's write to our MP and government organization complaining about Qantas because AmeriKKKan Airlines couldn't guarantee me a seat for my grotesquely fat butt

Report the issue to the ombudsmen?

Lose weight

Pathetic.

Like there are literally a lot less men that like landwhales that there are landwhales.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

So years ago, when I was in my 20s, I was on my way to a night out with friends. It was a going away party at a casual chic restaurant, I was on public transit. As I got off at the terminal (I could walk from there for 10 minutes) a guy approached me and said “You're really sexy, can I give you my number?” I replied “No thanks”.

Why did I say that?

1 - complete stranger with no conversation.

2 - I didn't find him attractive.

3 - no experience with this kind of interaction

4 - he was at least 20 years older than me

5 - he smelled like a brewery

6 - had on a wedding ring

I think about this all these years later and wonder was that my only chance?

I'm late middle age now.

Anyone else have this happen or am I the only freak?

Its just brutal

I didn't. Landwhales are destroying societies, me being on skinny side hurts extra hard, because a skinny girl has basically godlike status like only 1 in 10 girls is actually skinny and 70% foids ate straight fat. And how they want to fix this problem ? By introducing body positive so even more foids becomes fat, yeah body positive is exclusively foid thing, if you are a guy and fat, body positivity says to you frick you.

Officially local foids are 164cm and 72kg (foids weight needs to be smaller than last 2 digits on her height to not be fat) but in reality they weight 80kg+ and many weight more than me (90kg) a guy who is almost 40cm taller than average foid. Like frick this, when are we banning ice cream ?

Unfortunately the janny menace got to it before there was much drama although it's doesn't appear to be locked yet in case any want to add their 5 cents.

Huh, this is super interesting. They mention an intuitive eating influencer, Lindsay Pleskot, being paid off by the sugar industry.

I'm glad to see this posted here. I really enjoy MP, think that the hosts are great etc, but they are weirdly quiet when it comes to the influence of mainstream convenience food companies...

"Just admit you hate fat people" is the catchphrase. Fast food companies obviously don't hate fat people, so there's no problem.

So, my partner's a HAES dietitian. She had to prepare her clients for this article, because it's a problem.

Yes, there's too much money influencing influencers. Absolutely a problem. But everyone mentioned in this article is somewhere in the HAES, body liberation, etc world. They don't mention dietitians that take money from Noom or WW or other diet companies. Which feels fricked up, since I'd bet there's WAY more diet industry money in dietetics than there is food company money.

this article pissed me off. there is no nuance. i follow one of the RDs who made a sponsored aspartame post and the other things she promotes are things like salmon, grapefruit, and sausage, ffs, and is always SUPER clear about what posts are ads. if anything this is a reminder to be media literate, make sure you read the caption, think critically, but also a lot of these dieticians provide excellent content -- are we supposed to just have them do that for free?!

Yup! My partner actually knows that RD fairly well. She turns down sponsorship opportunities daily because she doesn't believe in them

"I'd bet there's WAY more diet industry money in dietetics than there is food company money."

I'm curious about that. Is that a blind bet or do you have some insight? The food companies absolutely SWAMP the diet industry on every other spending metric.

what is a wake up call to a normal person is an act of pure hatred to a redditor !thin

Way back when

Close to now
