I hope you can maybe consider traveling regardless of your weight and doing what you need to in order to make yourself comfortable. Maybe flying in economy comfort, asking for that extender, and just be comfortable that your size is your size right now.
Thank you for sharing your story, seesaw. It feels comforting that you understand. The idea of getting an economy comfort seat is good. I'll see how much extra that costs.

Sometimes I try to pay for a first class seat with my mileage points so that I get a bigger seat, but I only have so many points.

I do feel less than a human or at least a DEEPLY flawed human who doesn't fit into society. That's probably a conversation for another forum, or for a therapist.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
