Ready for some raw, unfiltered truth about weight loss? In this hard-hitting episode, we tackle Southwest Airlines' customer size policy head-on and flip the script on the outrage. Far from discrimination, requiring passengers who can't fit in one seat to purchase another might be the wake-up call you never knew you needed.
Drawing from personal experience of losing 140 pounds, I share why shame never works – but honesty absolutely does. There's a crucial difference between the two, and confusing them keeps millions trapped in cycles of failure. When your body physically can't fit into spaces designed for one person, that's not a social justice issue – it's your health sending you an urgent message.
We pull back the curtain on the $70 billion diet industry that profits from your repeated failures. Their genius isn't in helping you succeed; it's in convincing you that each failure is your fault, not their broken system. The truth? You don't need another diet, another Monday restart, or another round of punishment. You need decisions – small, smart choices that compound over time into sustainable results.
The solution isn't restriction or perfection; it's choosing differently one bite at a time. No gym required. No pills needed. No gimmicks necessary. Just honest choices that fit into your actual life. Because the uncomfortable truth is this: no one is coming to save you – not Southwest, not some celebrity plan, not an influencer, not the diet industry. The only person who can change your life is staring back at you in the mirror.

This is Shut Up and Choose.
Let's do this Now.
Your host, jonathan Ressler.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hey, welcome back to Shut Up and Choose the podcast
that cuts the noise, thenonsense and all the other
bullshit that the internet andInstagram gurus are spitting
your way.
All those Instagram influencerswith the ripped abs that have
never lost more than a pound ortwo, that basically it's their
job to sit in the gym.
I try to throw all that shit tothe curb and give you the real
deal, some real thoughts onweight loss and how it really
(01:36):
works.
Not how it works in fantasyland, not how it works for the
$70 billion diet industry, howit works in the real life.
So today I want to talk about acompany that's been in the news
quite a bit as of late.
And no, I'm not talking aboutCracker Barrel and their rebrand
, and they're actually goingback to the old brand.
I do have a lot to say aboutthat, but that's not what this
(01:56):
podcast is about.
So I'm talking about SouthwestAirlines and their new size
policy making people who don'tfit into one seat buy another
one.
I agree with it 100%.
If an airline has to charge youfor two seats, maybe that's not
discrimination.
Maybe that's your wake-up call.
Southwest Airlines justreminded America of something
(02:19):
we've all been trying to avoid.
Seats aren't really gettingsmaller, we're getting bigger.
And before you get pissed off,let's be honest.
This isn't about shame.
It's about truth andconsequences and choices.
Airplanes are designed with avery simple reality in mind One
seat per passenger.
If you physically can't fitinto one seat, that's not the
(02:41):
airline's fault.
That's not society being unfair.
That's a hard reflection ofwhere your health has gone and
while the truth may sting alittle bit, it might be the best
thing that ever happened to you.
I can tell you.
I get it.
I was way too big to sit in oneseat.
I had to get a seatbeltextender.
I definitely spilled over intosomeone else's seat.
I get it, but think about it.
(03:02):
If needing a second seatembarrasses you, good, use that
embarrassment and channel itinto action.
Not another crash diet, not adetox tea, not some fake quick
fix.
Real action, real changes,small, smart choices that add up
to you never needing two seatsagain, because the reality is
this Spilling over into the nextseat isn't body positivity,
(03:25):
like some of those assholes outthere want you to believe.
It's a fucking health crisis.
It's lost energy, limitedfreedom and a shrinking life,
even while your body grows anduntil someone or something calls
you out.
It's way too easy to pretendthat it's not happening.
So maybe Southwest is doing youa favor.
Maybe that seat isn'tdiscrimination, maybe it's
(03:48):
accountability, a flashing redlight telling you.
This is the moment Change nowor stay stuck.
The choice, like it always hasbeen, is yours.
So let's strip away the outragefor a second and actually look
at what Southwest Airlines isdoing, because the internet
loves to scream discriminationwithout bothering to read the
(04:10):
fine print.
Southwest has what they call acustomer size policy.
It's not new, it didn't pop uplast week and, yes, there's some
changes, but it's been aroundfor years.
And here's how it works If apassenger can't lower both
armrests and sit within theboundary of a single seat,
they're required to purchase anadditional one.
That's it.
No humiliation, no scene.
(04:32):
No flight attendant marchingdown the aisle with a megaphone
yelling this guy needs two seatsAlthough, god, I'm sure the
people next to me for a longtime would have preferred to
have that.
But it's a quiet,straightforward rule.
And here's the part that nobodytalks about.
In most cases, southwestactually refunds the cost of
that second seat after theflight.
(04:53):
So what we're really talkingabout here isn't some greedy
airline trying to wring everylast dollar out of passengers.
And it's not cruelty disguisedas policy, it's fucking
logistics, man and I know thenew rule is a little bit
different that you are going toactually have to pay for two
seats, but big fucking deal.
That's the position you putyourself into.
So think about the situationfrom every angle.
Planes are tight spaces.
(05:14):
Every inch in a plane matters.
So when one passenger spillsinto another passenger seat, it
isn't fair that the person whopaid for their space it's not
comfortable.
It's for their space, it's notcomfortable, it's not safe and,
frankly, it's not sustainable.
You wouldn't expect to buy asingle movie ticket and then go
take up two seats in the theater, would you?
Why should 3,000 feet in theair with people jammed in rows
(05:35):
be any different?
Southwest isn't saying we don'tlike larger people.
They're saying we need asolution that respects everyone
on board, and the solutionthey've come up with actually
leans toward compassion.
They don't kick you off theflight, they don't ban you.
They don't slap a scarletletter on your boarding pass and
say, hey, buy the space youneed and we'll give you your
(05:55):
money back later Although Ithink that rule is changing.
But even so, if you need twoseats, you fat fuck get two
seats.
I had recently had a flightwhere I had to sit next to a guy
who was the size that I used tobe and I got to tell you it was
fucking uncomfortable.
It's not right, but it's alsoabout comfort.
Imagine being the passengersitting next to someone who's
overflowing into your space fora four or five hour flight.
(06:16):
You pay the same price they did, but you're effectively
punished because they don't fitin the seat they purchased.
That's not equitable, that'sunfair and I don't think life is
fair.
But that fucking sucks that'sthe best word for it.
That sucks.
The person who requires morespace should be the one
responsible for securing it.
That's pretty straightforward.
That's not an insult, that'sjust common sense.
(06:38):
And let's not forget thisbusiness reality Planes aren't
luxury yachts.
They're designed to maximizecapacity and every airline has
to play by the economics ofavailable seats.
One seat equals one fare.
If a passenger needs two, theairline accounts for that.
You wouldn't expect to walkinto a restaurant, order two
entrees and only pay for one.
The same business principleapplies here.
(07:00):
This policy doesn't just protectairlines, it protects
passengers too.
By putting the rule in writing,southwest avoids public shaming
.
There's no arguing with a gateagent about whether you deserve
one seat or two.
There's no angry confrontationmid-flight.
It's clear, it's consistent andit gives people the dignity of
making arrangements ahead oftime.
So let's kill the narrativethat this is fat shaming.
(07:24):
It's not.
It's a company acknowledgingreality and putting a system in
place that balances safety,comfort and fairness.
If anything, it's one of themore humane policies in the
travel industry, because insteadof pretending the problem
doesn't exist, they're justpunishing people for it.
They've created a structuredprivate solution.
So the real issue isn't thatSouthwest has a customer of size
(07:45):
policy.
The real issue is that so manypeople would rather call it
discrimination than call it whatit really is a consequence of
lifestyle choices.
The airline isn't attackinganyone.
They're not attacking you.
They're simply drawing a linewhere the laws of physics and
the armrests demand it.
That's the uncomfortable truth.
(08:06):
The seat didn't shrink, thebody grew and Southwest is
simply saying we can't changephysics, but we can make this
work fairly and for everyone.
But this is kind of where theconversation gets uncomfortable,
but necessary.
If you need two seats in anairplane, that's not just about
(08:26):
travel.
That's a billboard-sized signalthat something in your life
needs to change.
It's not Southwest's fault,it's not society's fault, it's
not discrimination, it's afucking wake-up call.
And here's the thing Mostpeople don't get wake-up calls
until it's too late.
The heart attack at 50, thepre-diabetic blood work, the
(08:51):
doctor looking you in the eyeand saying, hey, you need to do
something about your weight oryou won't see your kids graduate
those are wake-up calls thatcome with trauma and fear
attached.
Having to buy a second airlineseat, and fear attached Having
to buy a second airline seat,that's actually one of the
gentler ones, because if we'rebeing real, when you can't
(09:11):
physically fit into a spacedesigned for a single human body
, that's not a body positivityissue, that's a health issue,
and no amount of hashtags orinfluencer cheerleading is going
to make that fact that you arecarrying around so much extra
weight that the world literallyhas to make more room for you.
Now, before the internet andeverybody fucking goes nuts, let
(09:33):
me make something clear.
It's not about shame.
Shame paralyzes people.
This is about truth.
And the truth is, if theairline says you need two seats,
you don't need a support groupto tell you you're perfect just
the way you are.
You need to take a hard look inthe mirror and ask am I okay
with this?
Do I really want to live likethis?
Because what starts with theairline seats doesn't end there.
(09:56):
If you can't fit your fat assinto a seat, you're probably
struggling in tons of other ways, like tying your shoes, walking
upstairs, keeping up with yourkids, even just feeling
comfortable in your own skin.
And each of those dailystruggles is a red flag waving
at you saying change before itgets worse.
The problem is that too manypeople are running from these
(10:17):
signals.
We numb them with food, withdistractions.
Excuses, it's my genetics, it'sjust how I'm built.
It's society's job to accept me.
No, no, no, excuses, it's mygenetics, it's just how I'm
built.
It's society's job to accept me.
No, no, no, bullshit.
That's denial wrapped in apretty bow.
The airline charging you for twoseats isn't a punishment, it's
reality.
Showing up at the boarding gateand here's the irony A lot of
(10:41):
times it's not even permanent,unlike a disease or disability.
That you have no control overweight is one of the few things
you can actually do somethingabout.
You don't have to stay in thebody that needs two seats.
You don't have to live in theshame or the struggle, but you
do have to stop blaming theworld and start owning your own
fucking choices.
(11:01):
Here's the uncomfortable truththat most people I know I didn't
want to admit, but if you'retoo big for one seat, it didn't
happen overnight.
It wasn't one cheeseburger.
It wasn't one skipped workout,because I never did workouts, it
was thousands of tiny dailydecisions that compounded over
the years.
The good news the way back isbuilt the same exact way.
(11:24):
The good news the way back isbuilt the same exact way One
small smart choice at a time.
So let me flip this around.
The very fact that you're beingtold you need two seats could
be the greatest gift you everget.
Why?
Because pain motivates changemore than comfort ever will.
When life is easy, we all tendto coast, but when reality
smacks you in the face or thehips, it forces you to decide Am
(11:48):
I going to keep pretending thisis fine or am I going to
finally do something about it?
That's why I call Southwestpolicy a wake-up call.
It's not discrimination, it'snot cruelty, it's not society
being unfair.
It's a fucking opportunity.
An opportunity to stopsleepwalking through your health
and start facing the truth.
An opportunity to turnembarrassment into energy.
(12:09):
An opportunity to stop sayingsomeday and start saying today,
because here's the deal.
You deserve better than livingin a body that doesn't fit into
the world around you.
You deserve to walk onto aplane, buckle your seatbelt and
not worry about spilling intothe person next to you.
You deserve freedom, confidenceand health.
But those things don't comefrom blaming Southwest.
(12:31):
They come from choosingdifferently.
So if the airline says you needtwo seats, take a deep breath
and hear it for what it reallyis.
It's not a rejection.
It's an invitation.
An invitation to wake up, takecontrol and finally decide that
you're done being a passenger inyour own life.
Now, before we go further, letme get one thing straight Shame
(12:52):
doesn't work.
It never has.
If shaming people into weightloss worked, america would be
the leanest country on the earth.
Every cruel comment, everysideways glance, every funny
meme would have solved theobesity crisis by now.
But guess what?
We're bigger than ever.
Shame paralyzes.
It makes people hide.
It pushes them deeper into theexact behaviors that created the
(13:15):
problem in the first place.
Believe me, I know, but here'swhere the conversation actually
gets real.
The opposite of shame is notdelusion, and that's exactly
where many people have gonewrong.
We've swung the pendulum so faraway from shaming that we're
now glorifying denial.
We slap body positivity on topof a health crisis.
(13:38):
We call obesity self-love.
We celebrate being stuckbecause it feels better than
facing the truth.
All those fat activists outthere who are showing off their
big, fat, beautiful bodies,they're forgetting one thing
You're fucking unhealthy, you'regoing to die.
So shaming doesn't work.
But honesty, on the other hand,is different.
(13:58):
Honesty doesn't say you'redisgusting and hopeless.
Honesty says this is thereality and you have the power
to change it.
Do you see the difference?
Shame locks the door andhonesty actually hands you the
key.
So think about it like this Ifyour doctor tells you you're
pre-diabetic, they're notshaming you.
They're telling you the truthbecause ignoring it could kill
(14:21):
you.
If a pilot says the plane can'ttake off until the weight is
distributed properly, that's notshaming either.
That's safety.
Honesty is uncomfortable, butit's also life-saving.
The problem is, honesty feelsoffensive when you've been
living in a bubble of excuses.
That's why a policy likeSouthwest stings.
It's one of the few momentswhen the world stops catering to
(14:45):
your fucking denial.
The armrest doesn't give a shitabout your feelings.
The seatbelt that's in theredoesn't fucking care about your
hashtags.
The scale doesn't care abouttrending TikTok dances.
Reality is honest, whether welike it or not.
But here's the truth bomb.
You can't love yourself intohealth if love means ignoring
(15:06):
your reality.
Real self-love is not treatingyourself to cupcakes after a
hard day.
Real self-love is saying Ideserve to be healthy enough to
live fully.
Real self-love is honesty inaction.
And let me tell you thishonesty is not cruel.
Honesty is the mostcompassionate thing you can give
yourself, because once youstrip away the lies, the
(15:28):
gimmicks, the denials, you'releft with something incredibly
freeing, and that's choice.
You can't make better choicesif you're busy pretending you
don't need to.
Honesty takes guts.
It's a lot easier to scrollInstagram and find someone
telling you oh bodies arebeautiful, you fat fuck.
Than it is to look in themirror and admit I'm not okay
(15:50):
and I'm the only one who can fixit.
And here's the kicker.
The diet industry loves thatpeople confuse shame with
honesty, because while you'rebusy fighting against shame,
you're also rejecting the truth,and that keeps you stuck in
their endless cycle.
You'll buy the new shake, thenew app, the new meal plan
because it lets you feel likeyou're doing something without
(16:10):
ever getting brutally honestabout your choices.
Their profit depends on yourunning from reality.
That's why I say honesty isyour greatest weapon.
Not shame, not hype, notmotivation memes.
Honesty, because once you admitwhere you are, you can finally
decide where you're going.
And yes, it's going to sting alittle bit.
(16:30):
The truth always does that atfirst.
Admitting you can't fit into aseat, admitting that you're
tired after one flight of stairs, admitting that you let
yourself slide, that shit hurts,but guess what?
Growth always hurts before itfeels good.
The sting is temporary, but thefreedom is permanent.
So here's the line in the stand.
Stop confusing shame withhonesty.
(16:52):
Stop running from the truthbecause you're afraid of being
offended.
The truth is not offensive.
The truth is your wake-up calland if you can learn to accept
it, even when it's uncomfortable, it'll be the most powerful
tool you could ever use to takeyour life back.
Because, at the end of the day,shame is about judgment but
honesty is about possibility.
Shame says you're broken,honesty says you're responsible.
(17:15):
Shame says there's no way outand honesty says there's always
a choice.
Which one do you want to livein?
So now let's talk about theelephant in the room and no, I
don't mean you, I mean the $70billion diet institute.
Thrives on people saying stuck.
Here's the ugly math.
If diets actually worked, therewouldn't be a $70 billion
(17:38):
market for them.
Jenny Craig, weight Watchers,detox Teas, miracle Pills,
personalized meal plans thewhole thing collapses if people
lose the weight and keep it off.
But that's not what happens.
You know what happens.
You lose 10 pounds, maybe 20,maybe more.
Then you hit a wall.
You feel deprived, frustratedand tired and eventually you
(17:58):
quit.
The weight comes back.
You feel like a failure.
And what do you do?
You buy the next fucking diet.
The cycle is not an accident.
It's the business model.
Your failure equals theirrepeat customer.
Think about it.
No other industry can say thesame thing over and over and
keep winning.
If your mechanic didn'tactually fix your car, you
(18:20):
wouldn't go back to him.
If your lawyer lost every case,you'd find someone new.
But with dieting, peoplehappily keep handing over their
money year after year to systemsthat never deliver permanent
results.
Why?
Because the diet industry isbrilliant at marketing.
They don't just sell products,they sell hope.
They sell this time will bedifferent.
(18:42):
They sell shame dressed up asinspiration and, most
dangerously, they sell the ideathat you're the problem, that
you're broken, that you justneed more willpower that if you
fail it's because you didn'tfollow the rules.
That's a fucking lie.
You're not broken, the systemis.
And while you're stuck blamingyourself, they're laughing all
the way to the bank.
(19:02):
So here's the trap in plainEnglish Diets give you a
structure so rigid it'simpossible to follow forever.
No sugar, no carbs, eat chickenand broccoli six times a day,
track every calorie like it's afelony Sure.
Anybody can white knucklethrough it for a few weeks.
But then, when real life showsup the business trip, the
birthday party, the late nightwith friends suddenly you cheat.
(19:24):
Then you spiral and instead offixing the broken diet, you
blame yourself for being weak.
That's the genius of their scam.
Diets are designed to fail, butthey convince you that it's
your fault.
Meanwhile, the solution is somuch simpler it almost feels too
obvious.
Stop dieting, start choosingOne small, smart choice at a
(19:44):
time, because that's the onlything you can actually stick to
forever.
The diet industry doesn't wantyou to believe that, because if
you did, you'd never buy thisshit again.
But I'm living proof.
I lost over 140 pounds and keptit off.
Not with a diet, not withrestrictions, not with gimmicks
with choices over and over again.
Not with gimmicks with choicesover and over again, and if I
(20:05):
can do it, you can do it too.
The $70 billion trap only worksif you keep falling for it.
The second you stop buying itand start choosing, you win All
right.
So we've talked enough about theproblem.
We've talked about planes andpolicies and wake-up calls.
We've talked about honesty, notshame.
We've ripped the mask off the$70 billion scam that feeds your
(20:26):
failure.
But now let's talk about thepart that actually matters.
What the hell can you do aboutit?
Because the truth is, you don'tneed another diet, you don't
need a 30-day plan, you don'tneed to live on salads, starve
yourself or spend two hours inthe gym every day.
You don't need to punishyourself, and you sure as shit
don't need perfection.
You need decisions.
(20:47):
Here's the hard truth mostpeople avoid.
Every single time you putsomething in your mouth, you're
making a choice.
That's the foundation.
It's not fucking macros andcalorie counting or apps or
programs.
It's choices.
Now, I'm not saying you have tooverhaul your entire life
tomorrow.
That's actually why diets fail.
(21:07):
They expect you to flip thewhole world upside down in one
night.
Humans don't work that way.
But you can make one small,smart, smart choice today, then
another tomorrow, then anotherday after that.
Stack enough of those small,smart choices together and,
before you know it, you've builtsome momentum.
So what does that actually looklike?
Well, let me break it down foryou.
(21:28):
First, start with awareness.
Track what you're eating.
I don't mean write it down insome fucking journal, just track
what you're going to thinkabout it.
Not forever, but long enough toface reality.
If you think you're eatinghealthy, but your healthy
smoothie has 900 calories,that's your problem right there.
Awareness is power.
(21:48):
Second thing is make swaps, notsacrifices.
If you love fries, great, ordera small instead of a large.
You love dessert, super, splitit instead of eating the whole
thing.
You don't have to eliminateyour favorite foods.
You just have to stop actinglike every meal is your last
meal.
The next thing is don't rely onwillpower.
(22:09):
Willpower is a battery thatfucking drains.
Choices are habits that stick.
So set up your environment sothe good choices are easier to
make than the bad ones.
Keep water nearby.
Have ready-to-go snacks.
Don't keep junk in the houseand pretend you'll be strong.
You won't.
That's bullshit.
Next thing is play the long game.
Stop obsessing about losing 20pounds by next Friday.
(22:31):
That mindset is what keeps youin the trap.
Focus on progress, notperfection.
If you're down one pound thisweek, you're winning.
If you choose water over soda,you're winning.
Small wins add up.
And the last thing is stopoutsourcing your responsibility.
The airline is not the villain.
(22:52):
Your metabolism isn't broken.
Society isn't holding you back.
Every bite, every drink, everychoice is on you.
That might feel heavy, but it'salso the most empowering truth
you'll ever accept.
And here's the best part Onceyou start making these choices,
the weight comes off in a waythat feels effortless.
(23:13):
Not because it's magic, butbecause it fits into your life.
You're not following a set ofridiculous rules that you'll
break in three weeks.
You're actually livingdifferently, you're choosing
differently, and that issustainable.
Look, I lost 140 pounds thatway.
No gym, no diets, no gimmicks,no shots, just choices.
(23:34):
If I can do it, so can you.
Gimmicks, no shots, justchoices.
If I can do it, so can you.
So here's your solution Stopwaiting for the perfect plan,
the perfect Monday, the perfectmoment.
It's not coming.
Start right, fucking now.
Make one better choice todaythan another tomorrow, and then
don't stop, because the truth is, no one is coming to save you.
(23:56):
Not Southwest, not somecelebrity plan, not some fucking
idiot influencer, not the dietindustry.
The only person who can saveyou is staring back at you in
the mirror every single day.
So if you're tired of being theperson who needs two seats, I
got you.
And let's be clear, I don't gotyou with another diet, another
(24:18):
detox, another overpricedsupplement or some scam designed
to fail.
I've got you with the truth,with real strategies, with smart
choices that actually fit intoyour life.
Because here's the thing youdon't need more restriction.
You don't need another voicetelling you to cut carbs, skip
dinner, live on chicken andbroccoli.
You don't need guilt, you don'tneed shame and you definitely
(24:39):
don't need another $70 billionlie.
What you need is a plan sosimple it's almost impossible to
fuck it up.
One small shift at a time, onebetter decision a day.
The kind of choices that youcan make on a business trip, at
a restaurant or in your kitchen,or even in the airport before
you board your flight.
Choices that compound andchoices that work.

Let's do this Now.
Your host, jonathan Ressler.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hey, welcome back to Shut Up and Choose the podcast
that cuts the noise, thenonsense and all the other
bullshit that the internet andInstagram gurus are spitting
your way.
All those Instagram influencerswith the ripped abs that have
never lost more than a pound ortwo, that basically it's their
job to sit in the gym.
I try to throw all that shit tothe curb and give you the real
deal, some real thoughts onweight loss and how it really
(01:36):
works.
Not how it works in fantasyland, not how it works for the
$70 billion diet industry, howit works in the real life.
So today I want to talk about acompany that's been in the news
quite a bit as of late.
And no, I'm not talking aboutCracker Barrel and their rebrand
, and they're actually goingback to the old brand.
I do have a lot to say aboutthat, but that's not what this
(01:56):
podcast is about.
So I'm talking about SouthwestAirlines and their new size
policy making people who don'tfit into one seat buy another
one.
I agree with it 100%.
If an airline has to charge youfor two seats, maybe that's not
discrimination.
Maybe that's your wake-up call.
Southwest Airlines justreminded America of something
(02:19):
we've all been trying to avoid.
Seats aren't really gettingsmaller, we're getting bigger.
And before you get pissed off,let's be honest.
This isn't about shame.
It's about truth andconsequences and choices.
Airplanes are designed with avery simple reality in mind One
seat per passenger.
If you physically can't fitinto one seat, that's not the
(02:41):
airline's fault.
That's not society being unfair.
That's a hard reflection ofwhere your health has gone and
while the truth may sting alittle bit, it might be the best
thing that ever happened to you.
I can tell you.
I get it.
I was way too big to sit in oneseat.
I had to get a seatbeltextender.
I definitely spilled over intosomeone else's seat.
I get it, but think about it.
(03:02):
If needing a second seatembarrasses you, good, use that
embarrassment and channel itinto action.
Not another crash diet, not adetox tea, not some fake quick
fix.
Real action, real changes,small, smart choices that add up
to you never needing two seatsagain, because the reality is
this Spilling over into the nextseat isn't body positivity,
(03:25):
like some of those assholes outthere want you to believe.
It's a fucking health crisis.
It's lost energy, limitedfreedom and a shrinking life,
even while your body grows anduntil someone or something calls
you out.
It's way too easy to pretendthat it's not happening.
So maybe Southwest is doing youa favor.
Maybe that seat isn'tdiscrimination, maybe it's
(03:48):
accountability, a flashing redlight telling you.
This is the moment Change nowor stay stuck.
The choice, like it always hasbeen, is yours.
So let's strip away the outragefor a second and actually look
at what Southwest Airlines isdoing, because the internet
loves to scream discriminationwithout bothering to read the
(04:10):
fine print.
Southwest has what they call acustomer size policy.
It's not new, it didn't pop uplast week and, yes, there's some
changes, but it's been aroundfor years.
And here's how it works If apassenger can't lower both
armrests and sit within theboundary of a single seat,
they're required to purchase anadditional one.
That's it.
No humiliation, no scene.
(04:32):
No flight attendant marchingdown the aisle with a megaphone
yelling this guy needs two seatsAlthough, god, I'm sure the
people next to me for a longtime would have preferred to
have that.
But it's a quiet,straightforward rule.
And here's the part that nobodytalks about.
In most cases, southwestactually refunds the cost of
that second seat after theflight.
(04:53):
So what we're really talkingabout here isn't some greedy
airline trying to wring everylast dollar out of passengers.
And it's not cruelty disguisedas policy, it's fucking
logistics, man and I know thenew rule is a little bit
different that you are going toactually have to pay for two
seats, but big fucking deal.
That's the position you putyourself into.
So think about the situationfrom every angle.
Planes are tight spaces.
(05:14):
Every inch in a plane matters.
So when one passenger spillsinto another passenger seat, it
isn't fair that the person whopaid for their space it's not
comfortable.
It's for their space, it's notcomfortable, it's not safe and,
frankly, it's not sustainable.
You wouldn't expect to buy asingle movie ticket and then go
take up two seats in the theater, would you?
Why should 3,000 feet in theair with people jammed in rows
(05:35):
be any different?
Southwest isn't saying we don'tlike larger people.
They're saying we need asolution that respects everyone
on board, and the solutionthey've come up with actually
leans toward compassion.
They don't kick you off theflight, they don't ban you.
They don't slap a scarletletter on your boarding pass and
say, hey, buy the space youneed and we'll give you your
(05:55):
money back later Although Ithink that rule is changing.
But even so, if you need twoseats, you fat fuck get two
seats.
I had recently had a flightwhere I had to sit next to a guy
who was the size that I used tobe and I got to tell you it was
fucking uncomfortable.
It's not right, but it's alsoabout comfort.
Imagine being the passengersitting next to someone who's
overflowing into your space fora four or five hour flight.
(06:16):
You pay the same price they did, but you're effectively
punished because they don't fitin the seat they purchased.
That's not equitable, that'sunfair and I don't think life is
fair.
But that fucking sucks that'sthe best word for it.
That sucks.
The person who requires morespace should be the one
responsible for securing it.
That's pretty straightforward.
That's not an insult, that'sjust common sense.
(06:38):
And let's not forget thisbusiness reality Planes aren't
luxury yachts.
They're designed to maximizecapacity and every airline has
to play by the economics ofavailable seats.
One seat equals one fare.
If a passenger needs two, theairline accounts for that.
You wouldn't expect to walkinto a restaurant, order two
entrees and only pay for one.
The same business principleapplies here.
(07:00):
This policy doesn't just protectairlines, it protects
passengers too.
By putting the rule in writing,southwest avoids public shaming
.
There's no arguing with a gateagent about whether you deserve
one seat or two.
There's no angry confrontationmid-flight.
It's clear, it's consistent andit gives people the dignity of
making arrangements ahead oftime.
So let's kill the narrativethat this is fat shaming.
(07:24):
It's not.
It's a company acknowledgingreality and putting a system in
place that balances safety,comfort and fairness.
If anything, it's one of themore humane policies in the
travel industry, because insteadof pretending the problem
doesn't exist, they're justpunishing people for it.
They've created a structuredprivate solution.
So the real issue isn't thatSouthwest has a customer of size
(07:45):
policy.
The real issue is that so manypeople would rather call it
discrimination than call it whatit really is a consequence of
lifestyle choices.
The airline isn't attackinganyone.
They're not attacking you.
They're simply drawing a linewhere the laws of physics and
the armrests demand it.
That's the uncomfortable truth.
(08:06):
The seat didn't shrink, thebody grew and Southwest is
simply saying we can't changephysics, but we can make this
work fairly and for everyone.
But this is kind of where theconversation gets uncomfortable,
but necessary.
If you need two seats in anairplane, that's not just about
(08:26):
travel.
That's a billboard-sized signalthat something in your life
needs to change.
It's not Southwest's fault,it's not society's fault, it's
not discrimination, it's afucking wake-up call.
And here's the thing Mostpeople don't get wake-up calls
until it's too late.
The heart attack at 50, thepre-diabetic blood work, the
(08:51):
doctor looking you in the eyeand saying, hey, you need to do
something about your weight oryou won't see your kids graduate
those are wake-up calls thatcome with trauma and fear
attached.
Having to buy a second airlineseat, and fear attached Having
to buy a second airline seat,that's actually one of the
gentler ones, because if we'rebeing real, when you can't
(09:11):
physically fit into a spacedesigned for a single human body
, that's not a body positivityissue, that's a health issue,
and no amount of hashtags orinfluencer cheerleading is going
to make that fact that you arecarrying around so much extra
weight that the world literallyhas to make more room for you.
Now, before the internet andeverybody fucking goes nuts, let
(09:33):
me make something clear.
It's not about shame.
Shame paralyzes people.
This is about truth.
And the truth is, if theairline says you need two seats,
you don't need a support groupto tell you you're perfect just
the way you are.
You need to take a hard look inthe mirror and ask am I okay
with this?
Do I really want to live likethis?
Because what starts with theairline seats doesn't end there.
(09:56):
If you can't fit your fat assinto a seat, you're probably
struggling in tons of other ways, like tying your shoes, walking
upstairs, keeping up with yourkids, even just feeling
comfortable in your own skin.
And each of those dailystruggles is a red flag waving
at you saying change before itgets worse.
The problem is that too manypeople are running from these
(10:17):
signals.
We numb them with food, withdistractions.
Excuses, it's my genetics, it'sjust how I'm built.
It's society's job to accept me.
No, no, no, excuses, it's mygenetics, it's just how I'm
built.
It's society's job to accept me.
No, no, no, bullshit.
That's denial wrapped in apretty bow.
The airline charging you for twoseats isn't a punishment, it's
reality.
Showing up at the boarding gateand here's the irony A lot of
(10:41):
times it's not even permanent,unlike a disease or disability.
That you have no control overweight is one of the few things
you can actually do somethingabout.
You don't have to stay in thebody that needs two seats.
You don't have to live in theshame or the struggle, but you
do have to stop blaming theworld and start owning your own
fucking choices.
(11:01):
Here's the uncomfortable truththat most people I know I didn't
want to admit, but if you'retoo big for one seat, it didn't
happen overnight.
It wasn't one cheeseburger.
It wasn't one skipped workout,because I never did workouts, it
was thousands of tiny dailydecisions that compounded over
the years.
The good news the way back isbuilt the same exact way.
(11:24):
The good news the way back isbuilt the same exact way One
small smart choice at a time.
So let me flip this around.
The very fact that you're beingtold you need two seats could
be the greatest gift you everget.
Why?
Because pain motivates changemore than comfort ever will.
When life is easy, we all tendto coast, but when reality
smacks you in the face or thehips, it forces you to decide Am
(11:48):
I going to keep pretending thisis fine or am I going to
finally do something about it?
That's why I call Southwestpolicy a wake-up call.
It's not discrimination, it'snot cruelty, it's not society
being unfair.
It's a fucking opportunity.
An opportunity to stopsleepwalking through your health
and start facing the truth.
An opportunity to turnembarrassment into energy.
(12:09):
An opportunity to stop sayingsomeday and start saying today,
because here's the deal.
You deserve better than livingin a body that doesn't fit into
the world around you.
You deserve to walk onto aplane, buckle your seatbelt and
not worry about spilling intothe person next to you.
You deserve freedom, confidenceand health.
But those things don't comefrom blaming Southwest.
(12:31):
They come from choosingdifferently.
So if the airline says you needtwo seats, take a deep breath
and hear it for what it reallyis.
It's not a rejection.
It's an invitation.
An invitation to wake up, takecontrol and finally decide that
you're done being a passenger inyour own life.
Now, before we go further, letme get one thing straight Shame
(12:52):
doesn't work.
It never has.
If shaming people into weightloss worked, america would be
the leanest country on the earth.
Every cruel comment, everysideways glance, every funny
meme would have solved theobesity crisis by now.
But guess what?
We're bigger than ever.
Shame paralyzes.
It makes people hide.
It pushes them deeper into theexact behaviors that created the
(13:15):
problem in the first place.
Believe me, I know, but here'swhere the conversation actually
gets real.
The opposite of shame is notdelusion, and that's exactly
where many people have gonewrong.
We've swung the pendulum so faraway from shaming that we're
now glorifying denial.
We slap body positivity on topof a health crisis.
(13:38):
We call obesity self-love.
We celebrate being stuckbecause it feels better than
facing the truth.
All those fat activists outthere who are showing off their
big, fat, beautiful bodies,they're forgetting one thing
You're fucking unhealthy, you'regoing to die.
So shaming doesn't work.
But honesty, on the other hand,is different.
(13:58):
Honesty doesn't say you'redisgusting and hopeless.
Honesty says this is thereality and you have the power
to change it.
Do you see the difference?
Shame locks the door andhonesty actually hands you the
key.
So think about it like this Ifyour doctor tells you you're
pre-diabetic, they're notshaming you.
They're telling you the truthbecause ignoring it could kill
(14:21):
you.
If a pilot says the plane can'ttake off until the weight is
distributed properly, that's notshaming either.
That's safety.
Honesty is uncomfortable, butit's also life-saving.
The problem is, honesty feelsoffensive when you've been
living in a bubble of excuses.
That's why a policy likeSouthwest stings.
It's one of the few momentswhen the world stops catering to
(14:45):
your fucking denial.
The armrest doesn't give a shitabout your feelings.
The seatbelt that's in theredoesn't fucking care about your
hashtags.
The scale doesn't care abouttrending TikTok dances.
Reality is honest, whether welike it or not.
But here's the truth bomb.
You can't love yourself intohealth if love means ignoring
(15:06):
your reality.
Real self-love is not treatingyourself to cupcakes after a
hard day.
Real self-love is saying Ideserve to be healthy enough to
live fully.
Real self-love is honesty inaction.
And let me tell you thishonesty is not cruel.
Honesty is the mostcompassionate thing you can give
yourself, because once youstrip away the lies, the
(15:28):
gimmicks, the denials, you'releft with something incredibly
freeing, and that's choice.
You can't make better choicesif you're busy pretending you
don't need to.
Honesty takes guts.
It's a lot easier to scrollInstagram and find someone
telling you oh bodies arebeautiful, you fat fuck.
Than it is to look in themirror and admit I'm not okay
(15:50):
and I'm the only one who can fixit.
And here's the kicker.
The diet industry loves thatpeople confuse shame with
honesty, because while you'rebusy fighting against shame,
you're also rejecting the truth,and that keeps you stuck in
their endless cycle.
You'll buy the new shake, thenew app, the new meal plan
because it lets you feel likeyou're doing something without
(16:10):
ever getting brutally honestabout your choices.
Their profit depends on yourunning from reality.
That's why I say honesty isyour greatest weapon.
Not shame, not hype, notmotivation memes.
Honesty, because once you admitwhere you are, you can finally
decide where you're going.
And yes, it's going to sting alittle bit.
(16:30):
The truth always does that atfirst.
Admitting you can't fit into aseat, admitting that you're
tired after one flight of stairs, admitting that you let
yourself slide, that shit hurts,but guess what?
Growth always hurts before itfeels good.
The sting is temporary, but thefreedom is permanent.
So here's the line in the stand.
Stop confusing shame withhonesty.
(16:52):
Stop running from the truthbecause you're afraid of being
offended.
The truth is not offensive.
The truth is your wake-up calland if you can learn to accept
it, even when it's uncomfortable, it'll be the most powerful
tool you could ever use to takeyour life back.
Because, at the end of the day,shame is about judgment but
honesty is about possibility.
Shame says you're broken,honesty says you're responsible.
(17:15):
Shame says there's no way outand honesty says there's always
a choice.
Which one do you want to livein?
So now let's talk about theelephant in the room and no, I
don't mean you, I mean the $70billion diet institute.
Thrives on people saying stuck.
Here's the ugly math.
If diets actually worked, therewouldn't be a $70 billion
(17:38):
market for them.
Jenny Craig, weight Watchers,detox Teas, miracle Pills,
personalized meal plans thewhole thing collapses if people
lose the weight and keep it off.
But that's not what happens.
You know what happens.
You lose 10 pounds, maybe 20,maybe more.
Then you hit a wall.
You feel deprived, frustratedand tired and eventually you
(17:58):
quit.
The weight comes back.
You feel like a failure.
And what do you do?
You buy the next fucking diet.
The cycle is not an accident.
It's the business model.
Your failure equals theirrepeat customer.
Think about it.
No other industry can say thesame thing over and over and
keep winning.
If your mechanic didn'tactually fix your car, you
(18:20):
wouldn't go back to him.
If your lawyer lost every case,you'd find someone new.
But with dieting, peoplehappily keep handing over their
money year after year to systemsthat never deliver permanent
results.
Why?
Because the diet industry isbrilliant at marketing.
They don't just sell products,they sell hope.
They sell this time will bedifferent.
(18:42):
They sell shame dressed up asinspiration and, most
dangerously, they sell the ideathat you're the problem, that
you're broken, that you justneed more willpower that if you
fail it's because you didn'tfollow the rules.
That's a fucking lie.
You're not broken, the systemis.
And while you're stuck blamingyourself, they're laughing all
the way to the bank.
(19:02):
So here's the trap in plainEnglish Diets give you a
structure so rigid it'simpossible to follow forever.
No sugar, no carbs, eat chickenand broccoli six times a day,
track every calorie like it's afelony Sure.
Anybody can white knucklethrough it for a few weeks.
But then, when real life showsup the business trip, the
birthday party, the late nightwith friends suddenly you cheat.
(19:24):
Then you spiral and instead offixing the broken diet, you
blame yourself for being weak.
That's the genius of their scam.
Diets are designed to fail, butthey convince you that it's
your fault.
Meanwhile, the solution is somuch simpler it almost feels too
obvious.
Stop dieting, start choosingOne small, smart choice at a
(19:44):
time, because that's the onlything you can actually stick to
forever.
The diet industry doesn't wantyou to believe that, because if
you did, you'd never buy thisshit again.
But I'm living proof.
I lost over 140 pounds and keptit off.
Not with a diet, not withrestrictions, not with gimmicks
with choices over and over again.
Not with gimmicks with choicesover and over again, and if I
(20:05):
can do it, you can do it too.
The $70 billion trap only worksif you keep falling for it.
The second you stop buying itand start choosing, you win All
right.
So we've talked enough about theproblem.
We've talked about planes andpolicies and wake-up calls.
We've talked about honesty, notshame.
We've ripped the mask off the$70 billion scam that feeds your
(20:26):
failure.
But now let's talk about thepart that actually matters.
What the hell can you do aboutit?
Because the truth is, you don'tneed another diet, you don't
need a 30-day plan, you don'tneed to live on salads, starve
yourself or spend two hours inthe gym every day.
You don't need to punishyourself, and you sure as shit
don't need perfection.
You need decisions.
(20:47):
Here's the hard truth mostpeople avoid.
Every single time you putsomething in your mouth, you're
making a choice.
That's the foundation.
It's not fucking macros andcalorie counting or apps or
programs.
It's choices.
Now, I'm not saying you have tooverhaul your entire life
tomorrow.
That's actually why diets fail.
(21:07):
They expect you to flip thewhole world upside down in one
night.
Humans don't work that way.
But you can make one small,smart, smart choice today, then
another tomorrow, then anotherday after that.
Stack enough of those small,smart choices together and,
before you know it, you've builtsome momentum.
So what does that actually looklike?
Well, let me break it down foryou.
(21:28):
First, start with awareness.
Track what you're eating.
I don't mean write it down insome fucking journal, just track
what you're going to thinkabout it.
Not forever, but long enough toface reality.
If you think you're eatinghealthy, but your healthy
smoothie has 900 calories,that's your problem right there.
Awareness is power.
(21:48):
Second thing is make swaps, notsacrifices.
If you love fries, great, ordera small instead of a large.
You love dessert, super, splitit instead of eating the whole
thing.
You don't have to eliminateyour favorite foods.
You just have to stop actinglike every meal is your last
meal.
The next thing is don't rely onwillpower.
(22:09):
Willpower is a battery thatfucking drains.
Choices are habits that stick.
So set up your environment sothe good choices are easier to
make than the bad ones.
Keep water nearby.
Have ready-to-go snacks.
Don't keep junk in the houseand pretend you'll be strong.
You won't.
That's bullshit.
Next thing is play the long game.
Stop obsessing about losing 20pounds by next Friday.
(22:31):
That mindset is what keeps youin the trap.
Focus on progress, notperfection.
If you're down one pound thisweek, you're winning.
If you choose water over soda,you're winning.
Small wins add up.
And the last thing is stopoutsourcing your responsibility.
The airline is not the villain.
(22:52):
Your metabolism isn't broken.
Society isn't holding you back.
Every bite, every drink, everychoice is on you.
That might feel heavy, but it'salso the most empowering truth
you'll ever accept.
And here's the best part Onceyou start making these choices,
the weight comes off in a waythat feels effortless.
(23:13):
Not because it's magic, butbecause it fits into your life.
You're not following a set ofridiculous rules that you'll
break in three weeks.
You're actually livingdifferently, you're choosing
differently, and that issustainable.
Look, I lost 140 pounds thatway.
No gym, no diets, no gimmicks,no shots, just choices.
(23:34):
If I can do it, so can you.
Gimmicks, no shots, justchoices.
If I can do it, so can you.
So here's your solution Stopwaiting for the perfect plan,
the perfect Monday, the perfectmoment.
It's not coming.
Start right, fucking now.
Make one better choice todaythan another tomorrow, and then
don't stop, because the truth is, no one is coming to save you.
(23:56):
Not Southwest, not somecelebrity plan, not some fucking
idiot influencer, not the dietindustry.
