She might be reading this thread right now!

Yes, we need to be having frank discussions about weight - with our Doctors, family, and others who care about our wellbeing. Some a-hole fat shaming a stranger on social media is not having a discussion. It's a DB being insensitive and using someone else's misfortune to his advantage. It's sickening. At the risk of the other MFPers jumping down my throat, I'm going to use the B-word here. This guy is a bully. Plain and simple. Agree with all this.

I don't know that I'd call it fat shaming, more like an observation. Reporting what she was eating? Yeah....all aboard the douche canoe. While I don't think it was necessary to post her picture, I agree that people should not have to be uncomfortable in a seat they paid for because the person next to them is sharing it with them! ETA: The media definitely didn't need to post it all over the place. It's likely the woman would have never seen it had they not. And with this. I'm embarrassed, living in St. Louis, that this guy breathes some of the same air as me. I think he was trolling and sensationalizing and I think it is going to come back and kill his business.

However, (and I am not excusing him here) when you are out in public, everyone is fair game. Is it nice? No. Is it fair? no. There are mean people out there so get used to it. Grow some thick skin. He did pixel out her face and not post her name however, there are other ways to make the point he was making. I, like another person posted on here, was not aware of how big I am (or was, 245 down to 210 and yes I know I am still big) and yeah its a little disconcerting that you spill over into other seats. I hope this is a wake up call for her to get some professional help if she isn't already working with someone. And I hope it is a wake up call to him not to be such a insensitive jerk.

Haven't finished reading it yet. It's amazing how many "I was ..." entries there are on that blog, all authored by the antijared. The "Beverly" in the Women's Health article linked in the blog entry is a Nutrisystem follower that is eliminating salt and drinking water ... not exactly the same habits described at the ball park.
