Kevin Smith, a well known film maker told a TV interviewer that an incident at an airline helped him decide to lose weight.<\/p>\n
Apparently, when Mr. Smith tried to sit in his seat on a Southwest Airlines plane, a steward asked him to get off, although the person didn\u2019t give an explanation. Kevin Smith said: “They pulled me off the plane even though I was fitting in it for a reason they still to this day never made clear.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: “What frustrated me more than anything in the world was I felt like nobody told the real story. The real story was I was a consumer that a company effed with poorly and without good reason and I spoke up about it.<\/p>\n
“That to me is the story. But to everyone else it was, ‘Fat guy in a little chair,\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin Smith admitted that he had been overweight all his life, but the incident made him start thinking about it in a way he hadn\u2019t before. Consequently, he resolved to lose 65 pounds. He told the interviewer Joy Behar his weight has been \u201cyo-yoing all his life,\u201d but nothing worked. However he was determined this time to lose it.<\/p>\n
During the interview, Joy Behar suggested Kevin remove his glasses and show everyone how handsome he was now he\u2019d lost weight. Predictably, Kevin refused saying: “I’m not gorgeous. I’m a 40-year-old man. I’m all doughy.<\/p>\n
“I feel mixed feelings about losing the weight. I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin [people]. I’ll never be thin.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet’s be honest, I’ve lost 65 lbs, but no one’s going to wanna sleep with you!’<\/p>\n
\u201cThey’re just like, ‘Keep going, you look better, keep going.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
