Um, no.
Take a look at your father’s Army or Navy uniform.
Or, look at photos that have been posted in the Steam and Preservation thread of Grand Central Terminal in the 1940s.
I always assumed that Marilyn Monroe was plus sized–http://themarilynmonroecollection.com/marilyn-monroe-true-size/
On the other hand a diet that relied on WW2 rations and WW2 stamps and the fact that my grandparents used recycled bacon grease/lard in everything and ate a carbohydrate heavy diet and worked from 4:00 am till whenever says otherwise.–Read at your own risk of a having a heart attack just by https://www.mackspw.com/Simply-Slovak-Cookbook?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4-KqsqeG5wIVSb7ACh1bTAlfEAQYASABEgKsn_D_BwE reading this Slovak Cookbooks.or—https://www.amazon.com/Anniversary-Slovak-American-Cook-Book/dp/1626540802/ref=asc_df_1626540802/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312061146391&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4458490253515768649&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024531&hvtargid=pla-591962161394&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60223809057&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312061146391&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4458490253515768649&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024531&hvtargid=pla-591962161394
To those who say that they’re overweight because restaurant food portions are too large, here are three answers–1. Dont’ eat out. 2. Lead a more active lifestyle. 3. Don’t eat everything. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Get a doggybag and take some home for lunch tomorrow. People just want to blame others. I’m 60, 5’7" and 160lbs and going out for a 2 mile neighborhood walk (3.5mph pace) just because I want to. I was doing bicycle century rides at a good pace (16+mph) into my early 40’s.
regulatons as of 2016-
This is in reference to your complaint concerning the level boarding platform planned for Roanoke, Virginia. Complainant’s Allegations You allege that the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) concerning high-level platforms at the proposed station at Roanoke is causing delays of up to 5 years with the station. You allege that this causes undue hardship to people with disabilities because there is no other practical way for individuals with a disability to travel via common carrier. Law, Regulation and Policy Title II of the ADA prohibits public entities, including Amtrak, from discriminating against disabled individuals. 42 U.S.C. §§ 12131, 12132. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits exclusion of a disabled individual, solely because of his disability, from any program or activity receiving federal funds. 29 U.S.C. § 794. The DOT enforces Title II of the ADA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and other civil rights statutes as they pertain to transportation, and DOT investigates complaints against recipients of DOT financial assistance. The Department’s recipients include Amtrak. The regulation at 49 C.F.R. §37.42 provides a performance standard for service at platforms constructed or altered after February 1, 2012. The regulation states in relevant part: (a) In addition to meeting the requirements of sections 37.9 and 37.41, an operator of a commuter, intercity, or high-speed rail system must ensure, at stations that are approved for entry into final design or that begin construction or alteration of platforms on or after February 1, 2012, that the following performance standard is met: individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use wheelchairs, must have access to all accessible 2 cars available to passengers without disabilities in each train using the station. (b) For new or altered stations serving commuter, intercity, or high-speed rail lines or systems,
Are you claiming coverage?
Maybe somebody needs to stay out of dive bars…
Cafe tables are fine for me and don’t forget they are designed for the average rail passenger. If they allowed too much room kids would be dropping food on the seats and floor. As for being overwieght, there are plenty of folks that fit in the tables that are overwieght so it is not the fact that your overweight it is where you are carrying your weight. Easy to get rid of excess weight. Most important thing about dieting is to not deprive yourself of the foods you like or else you will end up binging and putting on more weight.
Portion control, matching activity with food intake are the two keys here. Master those two items and you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight.
How do you manage in an airplane, Dave?
This Dave and the poster apparently share more than recognition that there is a spiritual world in common, specifically worries about overweight. My own solution at age 88 and reduced activity is to eat only two meals a day. On occasion this is supplimented by a small amount of snack food, no sugar or salt, just small pretzels or pretzel-sticks with some cinamon tea, during a class where snacks go with the lesson. My goal is to again be able to fit into the pants of my age 17 - 24 dress army uniform, and I am getting there slowly. I’m glad I kept it and had it repaired.
You’re a better man than I am David, there’s NO WAY I could ever get into my Marine Dress Blues again. At the time I got them I was 22 years old and weighed 165 pounds. I’m 66 now and 195, and everything’s spread quite a bit in the past 45 years! Oh well.
As far as those dining car accomodations are concerned, the thought hit me. Ever been in a fast-food place, any of them, and noticed the seats are just a bit uncomfortable and the tables just a little “off,” for lack of a better term?
All done on purpose, the idea being to keep you from hanging around for too long after you’ve finished your meal. I wonder if Amtrak’s doing the same thing with the dining cars?
I have ridden on a 1920s vintage Southern Railway observation car that was used on the Devon Belle, on one of the heritage railways in the U.K. The information sheet aboard the car says that it indeed is made to be uncomfortable to allow a turnover in the seats. There was a bar counter at the forward end that had real ale on handpump so I guess the idea was to sit for a little while while the barman poured your pint and you took it back to your compartment.
Dave K, At one time, I had to use an extender belt on an airplane. I was up to a 56" waist and 300 lb. Went back to Weight Watchers and currently am into 44" pants and under 200 lb. Eating good and exercising helping. Got off a nmber of Meds. Decided I wanted to stay longer on this world.
[Y] You go, 'liner!
It’s a noteworthy accomplishment. Keep it going!!
