My social life took the back seat when I started gaining so when I re-emerged 125 pounds heavier, I was super nervous of how people would receive me. In order to prep people and avoid complete embarrassment, I usually told them that I had put on some weight ahead of time. For some of my closer friends and family, I actually told them that I did it intentionally but I don't think they understood and I can't really blame them.
