    Personally I think it’s a bit rude when someone is hanging over into my seat, pressed up against me and forcing me out into the aisle. I’d like to sit in 100% of my seat please.

    I put some weight on over the pandemic and I do sympathise that losing weight is quite hard. But fuck if it got to the point I needed 1.5 seats, I’d either do something drastic about it (like the time I had 500 calories a day for a few months and dropped from 15 to 12.5 stone, sorry for the caveman units), or book two seats.

        I will readily acknowledge that it was unsafe (I don’t think it’s a coincidence that’s when my heriditary hair loss kicked in). I was taking a vitamin supplement and using myFitnessPal to track calories, some days I only had 300 calories but most days I had 500-600.

        For me, gradual weight loss seemed unattainable. I kept trying and failing. So I just said fuck it I’m going to do something drastic to lose the weight. Of course, having willpower and losing the weight gradually is the best way to do it.
