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.

Diabetes and heart disease aren't social constructs.

Nothing worse than sitting next to a land whale on a plane.

If Natalie were truly confident in herself (body&mind) and confident what she is promoting in being a plus sized model then anyone else’s words would not be hurtful or worthy of her time/action like this.

My guess she has baggage to deal with but comforts it instead of facing it.

Give her 5-10 more years of being that overweight and she will have health issues too.
Her harmful choices just have not fully caught up with her yet and shown their ugliness and depth of her foolishness.

There is a seldom an excuse for being rude, however you don’t have to be rude to demand that you get all the space you pay for on an airplane. When I sit next to someone who encroaches into my space I don’t like it. I sometimes get up, find a stewardess or steward and ask to be moved to a seat that allows me to have all my space. They have done this for me and have also moved the fat person next to me.

Now, I have a problem with people who equate being fat with being yellow, black or white, something they have no control over. You make yourself fat. Queers say they were made that way, they weren’t and I don’t care if they are queer as long as they don’t show it off in public, they aren’t made that way any more than fat people are. Perhaps some people have a propensity to be queer and perhaps some people have a propensity to be fat, I sure do, but you don’t do things just because you want to or have a propensity to do them. We take responsibility for our actions and become what we want to become unless we are just too lazy to fight the natural man.

I’m sure a man or woman who sexually abuses children has a propensity to do that, an urge if you will. Perhaps we all have those urges in some form but we don’t act on them. Nearly everybody likes to eat and would eat too much except we know what it would do to us so we stop.

I do not feel sorry for this fat woman. She puts every ounce of fat on her body herself. Nobody forces her to eat more than she needs. She knows when she puts those calories in that she will be bothering someone else when she gets to a confined space but is too lazy to do anything about it. I say lazy but actually a better word is irresponsible.

As far as I’m concerned fat people should have to sit next to another fat person on a plane so they realize what they are doing to others.

“plus-size”???

More like exponential or double exponential size.

If your doctor tells you to lose some weight, is he a
“fat shamer”?

Plus size? That’s morbid obesity. The height of irresponsibility for yourself.

She could take up 3 seats and would need axle grease on her hips to fit down the aisle.

She’s looking at incredible health problems in her future.

She’s got a butt so wide that her Tramp Stamp tattoo is a detailed street map of Mexico City.

Hi there. Are you a large person? Pleasantly plump? A little on the hefty side, perhaps? Well, let's face it: Are you FAT?

When you go jogging, do you leave pot-holes?

When you make love, do you have to give directions?

At the zoo, do the elephants throw YOU peanuts?

Do you look at a menu and say 'OK'?

Well, now, you can eat all you want, because at Thornton Melon's "Tall & Fat" stores, we've got you covered. That's right. Fine woolen, and woolen-blend suits and sport coats, in all the larger sizes - husky, stout, extra-stout, and the new Hindenburg line. And for you ladies we have caftans, muumuus, and our own exclusive A-frame in all colors and patterns. Yes, we have miles and miles of fabric.

So take it from me, Thornton Melon, if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people.

Amen! to your post. When my friend told me that homosexuals can’t help it because they were “made that way”, I tell her that pedophiles and serial killers are “made that way”, too. Does that make them OK?

They’re great for emergencies but you wouldn’t want to get caught riding one.
