#deathfat

So this might help!

They fit around your hips more than your waist, so I’m not sure what measurement you need to be taking on yourself. It’s probably not your standing up waist though. And remember, they don’t go all the way around your body, just from side to side. I can also usually squish my fat to make it fit. I’d probably need an extender now, but didn’t last time I flew. Most of my weight is in my hips though.

Have you talked to a doctor about getting some anxiety meds for your trip? I know people do that just to be more comfortable and a lot of docs are willing to prescribe just a few for the flying parts of your trip. 

There are also courses you can take to learn to be less anxious about planes. I’m not really sure how to evaluate them, but my grandmother used to teach one where people actually got on planes. There seem to be a lot of just online ones now, but I am a little skeptical because they look so clickbaity.

As for being deathfat, that is a play on morbidly obese. I really can’t tell you if you are anyways, and you don’t have to use that term.  I’ve also seen superfat. 

@cosmic-loon You didn’t say anything fatphobic :) I was just trying to explain. Sorry I worried you. 

But I really can’t tell you if you’re smallfat or bigger.  It really depends so much on the person and their body type, etc. 

Me too, tbh.

That’s why I keep using it for myself.
