They Wanted To Kick Me Off The Plane Because Of My Excess Weight: I Had To Put Those Heartless People In Their Place

They Wanted To Kick Me Off The Plane Because Of My Excess Weight: I Had To Put Those Heartless People In Their Place 😢😢

I Am 63 Years Old, And I Have Spent My Whole Life Learning To Love And Accept Myself As I Am. An Illness Disrupted My Metabolism, And The Weight Gain Was Not My Choice. But People Don’t Always Want To Understand That.

I Have Gotten Used To Sideways Looks, To Strangers Judging My Body As If It Were On Display In A Shop Window. It Is Especially Hard To Deal With This On A Plane, Where Space Is Already Tight And Everyone Seems To Think They Have The Right To Measure You From Head To Toe.

That Day, I Was Flying As Usual. I Had Bought My Ticket In Advance And Chosen A Window Seat So I Wouldn’t Disturb Anyone. I Sat Down, Fastened My Seatbelt Carefully, Put My Bag Under The Seat, And Got Ready For The Flight.

But A Few Minutes Later, A Young Woman About 25 Years Old Appeared Next To Me — Beautiful, Well-Groomed, Wearing A Stylish Suit. She Looked At Me And Immediately Made A Face.

Oh Great,” She Said Loudly, Not Even Trying To Be Polite. “Another Fat Woman Taking Up Half The Seat. I’m Not Flying Like This!”

I Felt A Sharp Pain Inside. But At First, I Stayed Silent. The Young Woman Continued:

“Fat People Should Stay At Home And Not Fly,” She Snapped At Me. “Do You Ever Think About Others?”
