Fat experiences

I've found that the less you try to suck in your gut, the more difficult it becomes. I used to be sucking it in basically any time I was around someone else. During lockdown I stopped completely and now it feels so weird and uncomfortable to even try, I just let my tummy stick out now.

I still can suck in, but it’s a lot harder than it was last year. Love the bumpy fat near and under my ribcage when I do. I had this misconception that I’d still be able to suck it all in for quite a while after gaining but I think it’s only a matter of time before I don’t see that indent on myself

I had to unlearn sucking it in. Not that sucking it did anything. Now I love letting it hang out. I’m proud of my belly.

In my own experience, I was always able to suck in part of my gut, but as I became larger, it would protrude further even when sucked in. It was much less comfortable to suck in as well, but it was fun at my heaviest to play around with it. I'd fit into old clothes and then I'd stand in front of the mirror and let it out all at once, popping buttons and once even ripping them off!

I miss it...
