its only me Posted at 6:04 am on Oct. 27, 2008
this is actually a serious question

I know that paraplegics are always really thin because they were active before they were paralysed but...

is it possible for people who have always been in a chair to be thin?

I went to the shop the other day and saw a huge fat person in the chocolate isle and everytime i eat i see her and its just.. ive never seen anyone who isnt paraplegic whos thin... and being seen as 'another fat person in a wheelchair' scares me :( :(

You can stay average size and be in chair, In think it depends on what size you were when you began to be in a chair, as long as you don't eat like crazy I think you will be okay.

Maybe she was in a wheelchair BECAUSE she was fat?! And if you eat the right stuff you should be ok.

I think if you can move any other appendages, you can exercise and be fit.  It's not common, but I consider it entirely possible.
