"I cried cos I remembered times I sat beside evil nasty people in planes who acted like I was depriving them of oxygen" - Lepacious Bose

Popular plus size comedienne, Bose Ogunboye, popularly known Lepacious Bose has recounted on her weight-loss journey and she challenges she went through.
According to Bose, she could not use the seat belt in a car or in a plane. This she said makes her feel embarrassed and shed tears every-time.

“See mouth .. No it is not a movie and no one died.
This was the first time I would travel in years without needing a seat belt extension!!!!! I simply pulled the belt and it clicked and I broke down in the plane and cried…..oh how I cried…..i cried for so many reasons.

For the shame I felt for years every-time the plane crew handed the extension to me and the look people gave me.
I cried because I remembered travelling with a group of comedians (great guys) but I did not want then to make fun of me, I flew 6 hours without using a seat belt…… I could not bear to ask for extension and I acted like it was together.
I cried because I remembered how many times I held the seat belt in a car so that lasma would not stop me but the seat belt never connected so I just held it till I passed them.
I cried for a million and one reasons I can not write about…..

I cried because I remembered how many times I got to sit by the exit with leg room and i was politely told I was too overweight to sit there…..in case of an emergency it is assumed a big person will not move fast enough…… Hmmm….

I cried because I remembered various times I sat beside evil nasty people in planes who acted like sitting beside me was depriving them of oxygen……
Oh I cried. And when google photos popped this picture this morning I cried again…… Not because am sad or miserable but because am GRATEFUL! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BE THAT WOMAN.. Good morning champions
