Depending on the airline and passengers, you may be able to get the bulk head/exit row seats if you ask/select/pay at check in or try and get an aisle seat so you can stretch a leg into the aisle.

As for upgrades, one potential option is to stick to an airline with a rewards programme and become a higher tier as they may offer upgrades as a perk for overbooked flights, free seat selection, etc. Also try to look nice.

Just beware that none of these are guaranteed and the latter especially based on anecdotes. Last time I got a free upgrade it was because of a family members staff discount and possibly a glitch.



From what I've heard, holiday centric routes can also be bad, even 'reputable' airlines.

I'd suggest actually looking at the nutritional info and doing the maths as it may not be that economical.

For example, I'm sure one £1.50 frozen pizza I looked at had around ~600kcal Vs ~1000kcal for a triple cheeseburger and large fries for around £5.

The main benefit I find to McDonald's is that it's less filling, so I can eat more, but that comes at a literal cost.

I'd avoid retail unless you know for certain you'll be idle, otherwise these days I'd expect people to be cross trained e.g. you may be on tills for one shift and stacking shelves the next.

I joke at my retail job that they could promote the place during peak as an alternative to gym membership.

I grew up overweight/on the fatter side.

As a kid/teen it was horrible, but as an adult I found no one really cares.

The only comments I would say you really need to be prepared for is friends/family/cow workers, as those are people you'll regularly encounter.

If you're lucky, they're indifferent.

If you're unlucky they might be genuinely concerned but because they THINK they're being helpful.

If you're really unlucky though, they might be malicious.

In my case, I've managed to blow over what little response I got by saying something along the lines of 'I stopped caring and just want to enjoy things while I can' and even joke about how fat I'll get.

But then I'm from the UK.

Really, the only way to tell will be to gain and see the response. In your case, worst case, maybe be prepared to lose weight if it causes too many problems.

Where I live it's things like multiple packs of instant noodles, bread and baked beans, cheap pizzas, etc. Usually for £1-2 per meal but can be 500-1000kcal.

Maybe look for foods you can bulk cook like spaghetti, lasagna, maybe soup? etc.

Maybe look around for bulk discounts e.g. Amazon occasional has bulk chocolate on offer.

Look around if any local supermarkets do discounts like one smaller chain near where I live e.g. spend x save y.

Also check out the discount sections, especially near closing, but please don't be an ahole about it (I say this only because I've heard stories in the past).

Just make sure to also include something nutritional.

Implicit or explicit?

At say my retail job, I would say there's an implicit limit subject to individual capability, due to the physical nature of the job.

Honestly, the only way to tell is to just do it, guage the reaction and respond appropriately.

It's otherwise impossible to predict, unless it turns out we're actually in the Sims and you have access to their traits stats.

I'd rather a device which just teleports food so I can taste the food ala star trek.

If we're talking fantasy, I'd rather nano machines which can allow me to alter my body without any consequences.

So at the push of a button I could gain several hundred pounds and be able to eat as much as I want, but then the next morning I can press it again to become a more practical size.

I've been at a minimum overweight/fat my entire life, which is likely the only reason I'm actually fine with the idea of becoming even fatter.

If I was 'normal' weight, even if I still had this fetish, I probably wouldn't be willing to intentionally gain like I'm trying right now because of the usual issues.

I don't know of any specific turn key solution, although I mess around with img2img mode on automatic1111's self hosted server software and various models.

Of course I only do this for a laugh with no expectation of accuracy.
