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 :( :(

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.

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

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.
