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.

I feel worse for the person (or people) sitting right beside you. They didn't get a full seat cause you probably took up yours and half of theirs. I *hate* airplanes for that reason. I paid for a cramped enough seat as it is, and then a whale sits next to me, and his/her fat rolls over and takes up half of my already small space. Its gross. Yeah it sucks that you got fat. However, you LET yourself get that way. Suck it up, get blood work done (just in case you are part of the 10% of fat people who have a genetic or blood disorder), if the blood work isn't clear then get meds. Either way, start exercising and make changes to your diet. No more fast food, less meats, more veggies and fruits. You can CHANGE your weight, but it will be a challenge.

You don't need to starve yourself. That's not good dieting anyway. Start your workouts at a level you can handle, such as walks around the block every day. Gradually build your workouts up to longer distances and faster walking until you can run. It will take TIME, but you don't want to hurt yourself.
