Most people that commented on the article on Yahoo get it.

But it's all how you handle it, I went back a few months later and after slightly changing my eating habits and doing a little bit of walking I fit on everything.


That is awesome for you. Much praise for you putting in the work you needed to create change. You’re family or friend had a better time the second time because they were able to experience more WITH you.

Newsflash! You’re obese, unhealthy and a drain on everyone else’s health insurance. People are getting tired of this PC bullshite. You should be ashamed of yourself. It’s not okay to abuse your body in the way these fat asses do. I guess kids and midgets feel short shamed when they’re too short to ride?

Then maybe lose weight

I would think the mirrors in her home would fat shame her enough to try Weight Watchers, Adkins, stomach stalling or something.

I would bet there aren't three rides in the entire park she could fit on, and YOU KNOW she got one of those scooters the minute she waddled through the gate.

Maybe this will be the motivation she needs, I’ve been there and it took a doctor telling me I was a porterhouse away from a massive heart attack at the age of 28 to get my mind right. I don’t care about your feelings if changes you’re lifestyle and keeps you alive for your family and friends.

Young fat people should absolutely be fat shamed

She knew that would happen. Did it on purpose so she could sue.

Fat people are the worst.

Sounds like she fat shamed herself.

I just went in December - I knew I had put on weight since my last visit years back, but it was a eye-opener when I wasn’t able to ride those attractions. But it never entered my mind to blame anyone for the predicament other than myself - I’ve made changes with my eating habits and activity level, and I don’t plan to ever let myself be in that position again.

So it’s ok for her to put someone else out because she’d an overweight person, but god forbid she has to accommodate someone else.

These people are mentally ill. This alone should be motivation to make a lifestyle change.

I literally have no thyroid. It was so hyper active that it had to be removed. I have to take thyroid hormones every day. I am not even slightly fat so I have no sympathy for fricks that blame their fatness on a "thyroid condition".

I worked weekends at a horse ride place in a park. 400 pound women would show up wanting to ride the horses which we had to politely decline. Not one time was it a fat dude asking to ride the horses, always a woman. Its like they are blissfully unaware that their fatness limits what they can do.

These morbidly obese people need to just realize that their weight will not let them do some things that normal people can do. They have no one to blame but themselves just like a drug addict that loses his home and family due to their drug use.

I rode that ride in December. Nearly a two hour wait. If I had to wait an extra ten minutes because a fatty was too close to me in the line, I'd have been pissed. Not my fault she's a blimp.

Management had to be shocked that she turned down some food.

WTF is this? A commission from a cartoon? Don't forget to donate to The Human Fund on your way out.

They didn't want to discriminate against those who had waited in line a long time by giving their seat to someone who is trying to be two people. It took a huge set of balls for her to even ask, much less demand, that the park screw someone for her amusement.

She is correct. Nobody wants your arse and leg blubber draining onto them.
