"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"

Calories eaten - calories burned = calories added to weight.

This is immutable fact.

Eat less, do more, mostly eat less.

Calorie restriction diets work.

Or just eat yourself to death quietly in your home, out of sight.

That degree of obesity didn’t happen over night, and it won’t be cured over night. It’s the result of bad decisions becoming bad habits … good decisions and good habits need to replace them.

Lose some weight you whiny slob and stop insisting the world change to accommodate your self-inflicted condition.

You’re not a victim of anything except yourself.

For people who identify as large, plus-size or fat, dining out can be a social and physical minefield.

Poor Dear. Poor, poor Dear. I have a clue to give her.

NEVER. Never book a flight on a commerical plane. Just don't even try.

When that chair breaks it will drive a leg, well. You know.

She needs to swear off of restaurants and other source of groceries for a loooong time.

“I remember having this out-of-body experience,” she said.

I'm still waiting for the punchline.

That photo reminds me of an old joke our teacher told us way back in 1960. He drew a cursive W with a pole sticking down out of the middle, and asked us what it was. No one said anything.

The answer, “KING FAROUK sitting on a bar stool.”

Most will not get the reference.

America is so fat.

You go to Vanderbilt clinics now and all the waiting room chairs are double sized what they used to be

I asked my doctor about it she grinned and whispered “we’re not supposed to notice” and rolled her eyes

She told me 40% of America is obese and some groups the rate Is twice that

Just to compare sizes:

So she's even bigger than the one on the left.

“We want to be comfortable and treated like humans.”

Skip 200 meals and you’ll be on your way to what you desire.

Alas, it’s not what they really want.

“Meals are spent in pain, or filled with worry that a flimsy chair might collapse.”

I had an acquaintance years ago who was 400lb+.
He broke every chair he tried to use at my house.

After that, he sat on the floor. (I was running out of chairs)

We went to an outdoor wedding a few years back and they had those little folding chairs out in the grass.

Some morbidly obese woman sat in one and the back legs of the chair went into the ground and she went backwards.

A site to see her fat little legs up in the air. Took what seemed like 5 minutes for her to get up.

She was yelling about the chairs being flimsy and at fault but this did not happen to any other guest. Think it would be a clue for her to lose weight.

The obesity crisis sweeping the planet is a growing problem. It no longer is an American or even a first world problem. Many European nations have skyrocketing obesity rates (Ireland, UK, Germany) as does Australia and New Zealand. Many Middle Eastern nations now have obesity rates exceeding 30%. Even China now has a growing obesity problem.

It seems to be an unfortunate reality with growing wealth, obesity rises. I blame the decline of physical labor, the rise of heavily processed and fast food, and the fact that people sit more than they used to. Emotional and mental problems are also correlated with weight gain. Lots more over-stressed people using food as a drug these days.

Q. Do you serve trans fats here?

A. Sure, we serve fat people from all 372 genders. Grab a couple of stools and sit down!
