"Rebecca Alexander at Besaw’s Restaurant in Portland, Ore., which gets mostly high marks from AllGo, the crowdsourced mobile app she founded to help larger people find comfortable options. But here, she shows how balancing on the bar chairs is hard because they are narrow, not deep enough, and have backs"

Good rule of thumb: if the first digit of your age and your size are the same, you're way too big.

Just imagine how hard it would be if they smoked too.

Eating out comfortably at restaurants should be the least of your worries. You are morbidly obese. You are killing yourself. You need to focus on your health.

I’m not exactly svelte either but I just don’t let them put me in a booth. If I can’t put the menu between my stomach and the table I won’t sit there.

Is that woman in the pic facing front or back? If she's facing front, it looks like she needs a bra on her back as well. Maybe she just forgot to comb the hair outta her face.

Why does society keep enabling peoples poor choice of lifestyle?

It shouldn’t be hard for a round person to get a square meal.

Intermittent fasting. Keto. It is amazing how suddenly the chairs start GROWING...

Cooking and eating at home should be her first step. There is no more unhealthy food, than restaurant food, as a rule.
Loaded with butter, oil fat, and carbs, is how they make it taste good.

She should had made reservations ahead of time at a restaurant that would have assured her a table.

How hard was that?

If she wants to be fat, all the power to her.

Just don't try and alter or change, or lower the quality of 'beauty' for men.

Stay off and out of SI.

This reminds me of a few years ago when my dad showed me his 1950 college yearbook. He asked, “What DON’T you see?” There was not a single obese person to found in its pages. He had pulled out his yearbook after we returned from a trip to Wal Mart because he was disgusted by how many obese people we saw there.

“Chairs with...impossibly small seats” = normal sized chairs for normal sized people. Unless they are raiding the local kindergarten for chairs.

Deciding where to eat is a challenge.

While deciding what to eat never seems to be.

They could sell those chairs to the gay bar down the street- flip them over, seat 4 on each.

First, address the underlying medical and psychological issues as to why you're so heavy. Help IS out there.

Secondly, think about those times we've seen people that weigh 500+ being basically air-lifted out of their homes for some reason. WHO is feeding these people? They're not getting up, shopping, cooking, driving through the fast food lane by themselves when they can't even leave the house.

And, yes. I no longer have my Army-Ready 18 year old body, but I can fit in a restaurant booth! My problem (OMG! Do I have a handicap? Am I a VICTIM?!?!?) is that I'm only 5 foot 1 inch, so the tables are always slightly too TALL for me - it looks like I'm shoveling in food right from the table, LOL!

What about us Shorties? Where's our sympathetic article in a national publication?

*SNORT*
