I Need Three Plane Seats But I Get Three Dinners.

[Goerge]

Simply amazing, right! I need to diet, any advice to lose a seat size?

[Codymoogle]

Oh, come on now, George. If this is really true, then you seriously need to go to a specialist. Also, I find it hard to believe that they would give one passenger three dinners, regardless of their size.

moogle it was in a uk paper last week a lady need 3 seats on a plane

goerge has just copied it from the paper

[justagirl4fun]

Hmmm well, I suppose if you have to pay for the 3 seats, then you're entitled to the 3 meals. Not that being entitled to them means you ought to eat them all...

[beallucanb]

That is unfortunately true about overweight people they think they need more calories so they eat more, give a fat guy 3 dinners and he will eat them, and look for a snack later on.

The 750lb guy in mexico eats 10,000 calories a day and is puzzeled why he is fat DUH.

my mom took me to a diet specialist awhile ago when i needed to lose weight. the lady walked in, i laughed, and walked out.

she. was. HUGE. xD

I always loved Carlos Mencia's take on fat people flying. You paid for seat A, not seat AB

Those who can't do, teach. Besides, you don't have to be a small person to know how to eat right.

My favorite was my diabetic dietician was over 300lbs. I'm going under my breathe, "Seriously?!!!!"

I hear you there, curi.

When I was 13ish and nearing my heaviest ever weight (I am not that heavy anymore, even though I still have some weight left to go), I was tested for diabetes a few times, due to being obese at the time and a family history of type 2 diabetes as well as a host of other problems.

So I was taken to an endocrinologist (I think that's what he was), and even though I didn't have diabetes, he said to me "Well you need to lose weight or else you may very well get diabetes." - that may of very well been true...However...the guy was telling me that I needed to lose weight, when his excess weight was noticeably hanging off of the chair in all directions...

I have nothing against heavy people, as I was pretty darn heavy myself (and am still currently overweight, but working on it), but when a doctor is severely to morbidly obese themselves and giving me weight loss advice, I'm going to be inclined to not believe them...

Taking up 3 seats isn't amazing... It's what they call "disgustingly fat"... I'm a bit overweight, myself... But It would still take 2 of me to even require 2 seats...

Doctors are trained to prescribe drugs. What is it in this world that keeps us UNhealthy? Drugs. That's why the doctors are like that, too.

You need three plane seats and you're not Kevin Smith?

[Honu]

Fly in the U.S.! Buy as many seats as you want and get NO meals.

Ain't that the truth! Since the first time I flew on an airplane the only time I was ever given a meal was an international flight.

[Dougie]

I got to almost 40lbs over weight last year, and I still only took up one seat. I wasn't even crowded by the chair arms. Ive lost just over half of that now so I'm getting smaller. How? I eat less calories than I burn, every day! When I eat more, I stop loosing weight. It's not rocket science. It's called self control. Unless someone truly has a thyroid problem they can loose weight if they really want to.

I'm just waiting until they start making passengers pay by their own weight , not just their baggage. Not counting additional seats (but at the rate the U.S. is going , we're going to need to strip our old planes and add bigger seats anyways) maybe at that point people will get off their fat asses and shed a few points , just so they don't have to shed a few extra dollars at the airport.

[Goerge]

I'm almost 16 stone (224ib) so could do with losing a little of the excess bandage but I'm very broad shouldered so seem to carry my weight well I think. I'm too lazy to cook anything and threw most of my cookware away because it was too much effect to wash them so I survive on takeaways everyday, not healthy.

I'm hoping something like this will happen. Say, $2 for every pound over what you are supposed to weigh given how tall you are?

Okay George, I have a question then - takeaway every day...How do you pay for it? Are you rich or something? If so, you'd think there'd be better things to do with your money and time.

[Goerge]

My town has alot of competitiveness between various takeaways so they tend to be cheap, its easer just to ring up, pay by card and get something within 30 minutes then having to walk all the way down to the supermarket buy a weeks worth of food which consists mostly finger foods and junk, walk all the way home carrying it, get drunk with my mate then we hit the fridge and eat everything, my weeks worth of food is gone within two days then I have to go shopping again, it works out cheaper with the takeouts...

[Creepymouse]

Yeah, in many places, cheap fast food doesn't cost much more than good, healthy food you cook yourself, and it takes less time. It's sad, it used to be that the rich were the only ones who could afford to be fat and lazy. Now, the rich are the only ones who can afford to eat well.

And NO, restricting calories DOES NOT work for everyone. There are many people who have confused their metabolism with too much high-fructose corn syrup, chemicals, medications, and other junk, and it thinks they need to conserve energy. The body can be AMAZINGLY efficient when it wants to be, some overweight people could restrict their diet to no more than starvation, and they would still gain weight.

The trick is, convincing the body that there's no need for storing energy, and it isn't easy. Wifey has been struggling with 40lbs for several years, and despite strict, healthy diets, lots of exercise, and anything else we can do, she hasn't lost a pound of it. She gained it during a period of intense depression, going without food for days then eating doughnuts or ice cream, no water only soda, etc. Her body stored every calorie because it thought she was starving.

Oh, and those commercials from the corn growers board, highlighting that corn syrup is no worse than sugar? Bull-crap. The body doesn't respond to fructose like it does other sugars, there's no insulin response, so an abundance of fructose leads to high blood sugar and the associated damage.

I highly recommend Jillian Michaels book, "Master your Metabolism", it is very well done. She even goes so far as to admit she was dead wrong about artificial sweeteners, and to avoid them like the plague, contradicting her previous books.

Okay, rant over.
