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.

Frankly, I think she’s got a pretty face. But her bod strikes fear into the hearts of buffet owers.
TTIDWP.
This Thread Is Disgusting With Pictures.
“Hage explains that she works out five times a week.
Fork lifting.
I think that she was in the right to do what she did.
She’s a pretty girl. I hope she gets her act together and takes off some pounds - for her own health.
Other issues aside, the first thing I think when noticing an obese person is the surgery involved in removing the excess skin when they decide to be done with being so fat. There is also the option now of surgery to make it hard or uncomfortable to overeat, but such is only successfull if the formerly obese person is willing or able to adjust their minds to their trimmer selves or to accept that they cannot maintain their new weight without self control. I also know that some persons, such as a good friend I had, are genetically disadvantaged weight wise. She and I vacationed together for a month and ate mostly the same number of calories and walked for lack of other transportation. She did not lose weight and I did. I met her siblings and they all had the same problem and just lived with it. They were not huge eaters. To other obese people, food is a narcotic and as hard to break from overeating as quiting any other addiction.
Gross! This is my nightmare when I’ve already boarded and I’m wondering who will sit next to me.
LOL! That’s a good one!
This is one, Rubens would not paint
More like she needs to lose 170 pounds. That’s one big gal there - bet she tops the 300 mark on the scale.
I don't think he would have had access to enough paint to do this one!
Agreed! 5 gallon paint buckets, were not in his time.
Mooooooo
Need on heck of a sturdy lap for that one...

She’s morbidly obese.
She shouldn’t really be reading his phone, especially if she is that sensitive.
On the other hand, her initial confrontation with him was polite, and he responded politely, and profusely apologized. If she had said “thank you for understanding”, and then sat down and talked with him, this would have been a positive outcome.
Instead, while filming the whole thing, she continued to attack him, continued to push the issue, not accepting his apology. She pretty much FORCED him to defend himself, so that she could than attack him publicly for his own defense.
Meanwhile, she’ll have no luck with her complaints to the airline, who could care less what people type privately on their phones, but may care about passengers thinking they have a right to invade other people’s privacy and causing a stir on the plane — they HATE confrontation because there are hundreds of people trapped in a small space, and they can’t really handle mob violence.
She is quite attractive, and frankly from her writings, a pretty interesting person. I’d love to have a person like that to talk with on the flight.
It helps that I’m short so I don’t need any leg room. Also, I’m not averse to being touched, so it wouldn’t bother me to put up with arms or legs in contact, so long as she was nice about it.
My problem would be feeling I was trapped by the window, since I’m claustrophobic. This is why I tend to ask for aisle seats.
With all due respect, humans cant synthesize tissue without some type of matter.plants use water, carbon dioxide, minerals...did you actually count all of the calories you and your friend ate? Did both of you absorb all of those calories? Do both of you have the same metabolic energy requirements? Granted...there are genetic differences in sensitivity to hormonal signaling for feeding...but if you dont eat anything with caloric value it is impossible to gain tissue weight. You can drink pure water and gain weight...but it will be soon eliminated. Have you ever noticed that in tragic groups of famine ravaged people there are no overweight people? Have you ever seen one of them who just cannot lose weight even though he had the same amount of food that the others had? (Maybe 3 or 4 bugs)
