Today, as I couldn't get the airplane seat buckle to buckle, I faced the fact that I've been in denial about how fat I have become. The people in my row faced it too as I began to sob uncontrollably. FML

Today, I was supposed to fly home for my dad's funeral, but the woman in the seat next to me was so obese, her bulging flesh left absolutely no way for me to sit in my seat. I complained to the stewardess, who then forced me to leave the plane just for raising my voice in frustration. FML

Today, I was so ashamed of my weight when I sat down and the suction of my thighs made a loud fart noise, I admitted to it being a fart rather than my fat rolls. FML

How much?

Today, I was at the airport to catch a plane. It was very crowded at the gate and there was nowhere to sit except for a flat metal bench, so I sat on that. Turns out I was sitting on a luggage scale, so my weight was displayed for everybody to see. FML

Today, I accidentally farted while on my flight home. It was silent but so deadly that several people were visibly distressed. The overweight guy sitting next to me got a bunch of dirty glares. I was too ashamed to own up to it. FML

Today, I noticed while sitting on my office chair, my belly is now large enough to touch my thighs. I'm not pregnant, I just ate my feelings for the past few years, and gained about 20kg in total. I've never felt so much self-loathing as I do right now, and I'm too ashamed to ask for help. FML

Today, I was sitting next to a lady on an airplane who was very overweight. She fell asleep on me, and violently bled from her nose upon take off and landing. FML

Today, after years of wonderful flying experiences, I boarded a flight and took my seat only to find a baby sitting in front of me, behind me, and to the right of me, and across the aisle from me. All of whom decided to cry in unison. It was a 9-hour flight. FML

Today, I was on an early flight home after a night of drinking. I was sat in my seat when I started feeling sweaty and nauseous. I grabbed the puke bag and started gagging, then puking, and a really loud fart came out. Everyone heard it. The attendant switched me seat to sit alone. FML

Today, while on the bus, a small child asked me if I was having a baby, and I replied "Yes." I'm not. I was just too ashamed to admit I was fat. FML

Today, I was arguing with a friend over whether or not I'm fat. She kept telling me that I was. Angry, I sat down on the chair beside her. It broke. FML

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Dust yourself off, and create a gameplan to shed some lbs.

Haven't you watched the news? Obesity and flying just don't mix. keep crying though, if you shed enough tears you'll lose sone water weight.

Obesity is one of the few deadly diseases that has a cure. I feel sorry for the embarrassment you must have gone through on the plane, but if you're that big, you really need to control your health. It's ridiculous when people let themselves get this overweight due to laziness. Talk to a doctor.

There are a lot of factors, including emotional, that could lead to weight gain. It's very one-dimensional to assume that weight gain is due only to laziness.

I feel ya. It's easy to overlook, get caught up in your life, and justify/or ignore your actions. That is until straight physical fact (like the belt) comes and smacks you in the face. The beauty of this shitty, shitty situation is that you can change it. I let that happen to me over the last couple years and I am just now doing stuff about it. Just be a little more conscious of what you and, and more importantly the proportions of it. Take time to savor food. And just do ten minutes of work out/activity a day. The move it up after a couple of weeks. You don't need a big mountain of success in a week, it won't happen. It's gonna happen by sticking to at least ten minutes of workout a day (at least four days a week) and being conscious. When you're comfortable with that, challenge yourself with more but keep up your basics always. I've got faith in you. My best friend of over four hundred pounds is kicking ass at it right now so I know you can. Take the stairs, park a little farther, cook meals....you got this shit. The best of luck sweetheart. Know this, you're in control of your fate. YOU.
