Fat experiences

If you want to hold onto pants longer, you could always order a few sizes up and then use a belt to keep them on. Then your pants would last and you'd get to feel as you slowly fill out more and more pants that were once a bit too big for you, as they begin to fit without a belt before becoming too tight on your growing body

The first thing that I noticed when i hit 350lbs around 17/18 was that I couldnt walk for longer than a minute without feeling like my back was about to break. Also, I couldnt fit in certain chairs and had to make sure it could hold my weight if I had never sat in it before.

i use handicap ones for this reason myself


Stairs, booths, bending over, tieing shoes picking things up off the ground, getting up off the ground, up off the couch, getting out and in the suv, etc

Right now its currently stairs or step ladders tbh

Anything remotely physical has me short of breathe which is weird feeling having been a long distance runner for so many years

I'm 234 but carry most of my weight in my middle. I have a hard time heaving myself out of bed ^^; and I also struggle a little getting in and out of cars. I sort of plop in my seat with a loud sigh.

I used to run 8 miles 4 days a week, lift and was a first degree black belt. Now just walking 5-10 minutes has me sweating and out of breath.

For me it started with bending over difficulties as pressing against my belly would make it difficult to breathe.

As I got heavier I began noticing how much more difficult physical activity became. Unlike most gainers I've actually continued to do daily 4km walks and multiple gym sessions a week, so I'm much more fit (and hopefully strong) than the average obese guy, but even though I wasn't getting out of breath super easily I have found it much harder to move in general.

- I'm slower to walk up the stairs. I have to go down slowly too to make sure I'm minimizing impact on my joints.

- I get regular foot pains if I'm standing or walking for a long time.

- I've begun experiencing knee pain after strenuous activity

- I was at a concert recently and I opted not to jump around too much so as not to tire my lower body too much (plus my feet were KILLING me by the end)
