Fat man shamed to tears by Southwest Airlines Options

[impala454]

it's true. we're all a bunch of worthless pieces of shit that never get any respect or love until we lose weight

[Dogmeat]

yeah, but it's not that hard to lose weight ... it's really not.

god at one point after I graduated high school I weighed 257 pounds ... I weighed 205 when I was playing basketbally my sr. year and in the best shape of my life ... I think I maybe weighed 210 when I graduated ...

And it sure as fuck wasn't like I was in the weight room at all for the first 3 or 4 years after I graduated hahahaha...

Trust me it can be done a hell of a lot easier than most people think.

[impala454]

it's not "easy". the concept is easy to grasp. it takes hard work. but yes it can be done. i've lost quite a bit at one time (from about 325 -> 275) and it definitely took a lot of hard work.

[hodge]

it's not "easy"

yea it is. most people are just too lazy. myself at times included.

[impala454]

changing your entire lifestyle is most definitely not easy.

southwest is also experimenting with assigned seating, instead of the sit-anywhere cattlecall they have now. sposedly shaves almost 15 minutes off the turnaround time, and thats how southwest stays in the black. (that and the good fucking deal they got when they locked into a gas contract at a decent price, but that's gonna end soon.)

planes on the ground don't make money.

i'm going to pull an impala on this because nearly everything i'm quoting is misleading

southwest is also experimenting with assigned seating, instead of the sit-anywhere cattlecall they have now.

true. in select cities.

sposedly shaves almost 15 minutes off the turnaround time,

untrue. southwest's turnaround averages less than 30 minutes, so nope.

and thats how southwest stays in the black.

i'm assuming you mean turnaround in general, because it would be ridiculous to think that an experiment in 3 cities is keeping the entire company afloat.

(that and the good fucking deal they got when they locked into a gas contract at a decent price, but that's gonna end soon.)

untrue. their gas hedges are revolving. they expire and are renewed several times throughout the year, depending on the supplier, but they're not even close to paying "market" price for jetA. the day southwest has their first quarter in the red will soon be upon us (if prices stay high), but the day they leak like a sieve is another 50 years down the road. american had been consistently losing millions a day for years after 9/11; a lot of their pilots were given 20-30 cents on the dollar when they nixed the pension.

planes on the ground don't make money.

true, fast turn around does = lower operating costs, which = everything they stand for. hell, even their EMGs take regular flights for business; i've been on the same plane with herb kelleher several times and have seen colleen barrett and gary kelly at all kinds of different airports around the country.

I think that the people who take up more than one seat needs to buy another policy is a good idea. They just need to enforce it consistantly. If it's true that he's flown many times over the past few years without any problems, and then they enforce it once, that's not good. If you're body extends over the edge of the seat and crowds me, fuck you.

I was flying back to TX a few years ago, and there was a totally massive woman that was flying. Probably at least 500lbs. Surprisingly she didn't need crutches or canes or a motorized wheel chair to move around. She did buy 2 tickets. I would say that there was maybe an inch of room in between the armrests and her body when she put them down. She also laid down a pillow on each seat before she sat down. I'm never using those pillows again unless they're still in plastic wrap.

it's not that hard. seriously.

It requires persistence, but not hard work.

Hell you can lose weight "working out" 30 minutes a day and just not eating like a centurion mud pig ...

It's not near as hard as people wanna make it out to be, you just can't be lazy about it.

[Dogmeat]

changing your entire lifestyle is most definitely not easy.

If putting effort into something for two months of your life in order to set yourself on the right path is too fucking difficult then I have absolutley no sorrow or pity for you.

I think most people find out that if they put the effort in for a few months and actually stick with it they find that they _NEVER_ want to go back to the way they were before.

I mean christ I've been one of those people who gets absolutley irate if I have to go longer than 4 days without working out if I'm not "recovering" and I've been that way for nearly 3 years now ...

It took me 2-3 months of just shutting the fuck up and doing it, and ever since then, it's been hard for me to *NOT* work out as much as possible.

Seriously, looking back, it is _NOT_ as hard as people wanna make it out to be.

[impala454]

i couldn't give a crap about your pity dogmeat. it sounds like it was really easy to make the changes in your life to lose weight. the physical aspect of losing weight and how to do it is obvious. exercise and change your diet, DUH. but any type of lifestyle change (especially a bad habit) is typically hard for people to get going. i'm sorry if you think otherwise but you're wrong. if it was so easy for people to make lifestyle changes, you wouldn't see any fat people. everyone would get eight hours of sleep a night. nobody would smoke. everyone would bathe and brush their teeth the appropriate amount. everyone would make good grades. etc etc. these are not excuses, just proof that major changes in your life are not always as easy as you're trying to make it out to be.

[Dogmeat]

I don't think it's a major change at all.

Think about it.

Eating one big mac instead of two. I don't believe this has ever killed anyone.

Walking 30 minutes a few days a week, perhaps some light resistance training on the other days .... do this for a few months, feel the difference. You won't wanna go back.

I'm not saying go balistic and try to go from being obeese to being mr. fucking olympia here.

I'm sorry, but taking less than an hour out of your day to benefit your mind and body and not eating twice what you should is _NOT_ as fucking hard as you and others make it out to be.

It's not. Period. It's all in your mind.

Like I said, I've been there and done that, and most people who have been there and done that that I know of basically agree with me.

Once you snap yourself out of it, you see it really wasn't that fucking hard, it just took a little patience and you can't quit on it. That's the main thing. Don't quit.

Finding a date.

I don't think it's a major difficulty at all.

Going up and talking to a girl rather than just sitting by yourself and drinking. I don't believe this has ever killed anyone.

Spending 30 minutes a few days a week out at social hangouts, perhaps some light clubbing on the other days ... do this for a few months, feel the difference. You won't wanna go back.

I'm not saying go ballistic and try to go from being Mr. Lonely to Mr. Studmuffin here.

I'm sorry, but taking less than an hour out of your day to benefit your self-esteem and social life and not wallowing in your own self-pity and loneliness is _NOT_ as fucking hard as you and others make it out to be.

I so knew this was coming

Yup, it's not. I just make it that way You're right, it's aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall in my mind

So essentially, you just backed up what I said, as I understand exactly what it's like to have a falsity in my mind and to have overcome a falsity in my mind

But, even though it will sound like an excuse .. It's tough for me to meet a girl that excites me. I like to feel excited. Yeah I could go get my cock schlobbed, but honestly, that doesn't really bring me much pleasure. I like to be emotional about females, and the ones that make me that way at them are usually few and far between .... Generally speaking, when I DO meet that girl, I'm not terribly shy, even though I usually am a little shy.

Then they proceed to suck everyone's cock but mine and I blackmail them until their social life is ruined and I'm bitter for a year.

I've never met a peice of iron or a treadmill that sucked somone elses cock in my parents bedroom or lied to me
