A Dallas-based plus-size model and student who promotes body positivity has used her social media platform to share how she fought back against a body-shamer while on a flight.

Natalie Hage, 30, said the hurtful ordeal happened on a recent American Airlines flight to Los Angeles when she only had a middle seat available to her. She had paid extra for a seat with greater leg room.

Ocean freight is cheaper for items as big as her.

She should have bought two adjacent seats. Does obese now mean “plus size”?

I don’t believe a single word of this...

This orca sized “model” (lol) is looking for 15 minutes of attention. We only have her story.

If this “model” had to haul ass, she would need to make two trips.

Reading his private texts is wrong. Eavesdropping is not acceptable.

Sitting next to someone who is spilling into your seat is also not acceptable. Keep your body contained within the area you paid for, or get a thicker skin. I resent being put into the position of intimate contact with some fat persons body parts.

sorry, I happen to have an aversion to overweight. Period. I think it indicates you have other problems you are not addressing in a healthy way and you are addressing your problems by stuffing yourself.

A little zaftig or voluptuous is OK. The kind of freight that gal is carrying just isn’t healthy. It isn’t that hard to lose it - cut the sugar and drastically reduce the carbs. Type 2 diabetes made that an easy decision for me. Lost over 40 pounds since last September. Never felt better.

It’s not the working out, it’s the diet. She needs a serious Low-Carb Diet.

“If you truly worked out five times a week, you would not be a corpulent hambeast.”

Now that’s funny.

Weird Al had this chick in mind:

Your butt is wide, well mine is too
Just watch your mouth or I’ll sit on you
The word is out, better treat me right
‘Cause I’m the king of cellulite
Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right

My zippers bust, my buckles break
I’m too much man for you to take
The pavement cracks when I fall down
I’ve got more chins than Chinatown

Well, I’ve never used a phone booth
And I’ve never seen my toes
When I’m goin’ to the movies
I take up seven rows

Because I’m fat, I’m fat, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)

Oink. She should buy two seats. Or better yet, she should lose about 70 pounds. Right now she has type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure in her future.
