I'm not particularly fat, but I don't fit within 1 seat on any airline
I've flown with.  But if they plan to charge me extra when the person
whose seat I'm "overflowing" into is Deb's, they've got another think
coming.  I'll take a different airline.  Besides, do they actually give
your two seats when they charge you for two seats?  I was under the
impression they charged more, but put people next to you anyway.
