Best quote of the article and all you really need if you don't want to read the novel of this fatties feelings.

"I wanted to feel relieved, but all I felt was guilt -- towering, overwhelming guilt at this embarrassment of riches. Also anger, at the guilt. I felt guilty because the airplane seat failed to accomodate my body sufficiently to satisfy the pinched-faced crabby woman beside me, whom I would never see again. I felt dehumanized by her inability to make eye contact and acknowledge that I am a person and not simply an inconvenient sack of fat."
