A young model has sparked a global conversation with a simple request: make airplane seats wider. The influencer pleads that bodies are changing and hence, airplane seats should be made bigger too. When faced with criticism, the model revealed she has not had any surgeries to enhance her butt and shared old photos.
A viral dilemma.

Gracie Bon, a social media star from Panama, went viral when she shared a video of herself on a plane. It showed her struggling to buckle up in an airplane seat. Her discomfort was evident as she tried to adjust herself in the cramped space. The video struck a chord with many, spreading like wildfire across social media platforms.
She elaborated on her struggle and many resonated with her.

Despite booking first-class tickets, Gracie found no respite. She faced the same issue. The seats were still just too small for her curvaceous figure.
This led her to voice a bold statement. She urged airplanes should have bigger seats. She also argued that it’s not her responsibility to change her body to fit into the seats.

Gracie’s message received both support and criticism.

Gracie’s outspokenness brought mixed reactions. While some applauded her for standing up for plus-sized individuals, others criticized her. They suggested that her body’s proportions were a result of plastic surgery. Gracie stood firm, countering that her physique was natural. She requested that the airline industry adapt to accommodate everyone despite their size.
The model shared her impressive transformation journey.

Putting the negative comments about her having surgery to make her butt bigger to rest, Gracie spoke out. She shared before and after photos of herself. She clarified that she used to weigh 300 lbs (136 kg).
When she was 21 years old, she decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle. She started working out and taking care of herself. She also added that she made such a decision as her weight started affecting her health and led to knee pain and breathing issues.
She admitted to having surgeries on her upper body.

Gracie successfully lost 100 lbs (45 kg). She confesses that to deal with extra skin, she opted for surgery. In fact, she says she had «many» small surgeries to remove the loose skin. Gracie also promotes body positivity and believes that no one body type is superior. We should all feel comfortable in our own skin without giving into beauty standards.

Many people still had various questions. Some asked how she was able to only lose weight in her upper body. Others questioned how her face changed completely. A few also wondered if she edits her photos. Gracie is yet to comment on these concerns.
Another woman made headlines for her surprising transformation. She removed all of her teeth. You can read about it here.

My wife disowned her parents after our son’s birth – 15 years later, she told me the shocking truth

There are times in life when we are at our best, but in the next moment things take an unlike turn no can ever predict.
The story a man named Henry shared resembles a movie plot. The shocking turn of events changed his family forever in ways he could never expect.
As he explained in his post, following the birth of their son, his wife Candice decided to cut ties with her parents. Although he could never understand the reasons behind this drastic decision, he decided to respect her wishes.
However, over time, he felt torn between his wife and his in-laws who loved their grandson Lucas very much. They always showered him with gifts and attention, and this made it even more difficult for him to understand why his wife got estranged from her parents who seemed to be the perfect grandparents.

Intrigued, he decided to learn the truth no matter the cost.
One day, he confronted his wife and asked her why she didn’t want to see her parents. It was unacceptable that she cut all ties with them all of a sudden. Candice refused to speak about it, but Henry was determined and he even threatened to leave her if she didn’t tell him the truth.
At that moment, Candice broke down in tears and it felt like her entire world collapsed. What she had to stay left Henry in a state of shock. He couldn’t even move as he tried to process his wife’s words.
Candice revealed to him that her parents, who were rich and influential people, wanted a grandson whom they would leave their inheritance to, so when Candice gave birth to a baby girl, they forced one of the nurses at the hospital to switch the girl with a baby boy.

Realizing that Lucas wasn’t their biological son shattered Henry’s heart into a million pieces. At the same time, he wondered where his biological child was and what happened to her.
He couldn’t believe that Candice lived with that secret for so long.
Candice told him that the nurse who helped do the crime regretted her decision and wanted to reveal the truth, but her parents got her fired. All she could do was leave a handwritten note revealing the dark secret.
The next step was finding their daughter, Darcy. It wasn’t an easy thing to do, but they eventually tracked the child down and reunited with her. Sadly, the process of taking her back had been a complex one and required plenty of time and long legal battles.

Henry and Candice shared the truth with Lucas and Darcy and both of them accepted it pretty well. The two siblings get along and support each other, and Lucas shows resilience and gratitude for being part of a unique story.
As of Candice’s parents, the family decided not to be close with them as they once were.
Candice had carried the burden of the secret for too long, but she only did that for Lucas.
This truly is an extraordinary story, don’t you think so?
