Gettingfatter:
A few years ago, a friend of mine from university made a trip over to Korea for a long term work assignment, and wound up getting married and staying there.  The last time I saw him in person was when I was working downtown, maybe around 2002 or 2003.  I was about 165 lbs then.
He made a trip back into Toronto not that long ago and by the time he had returned, I was years deep into gaining.  He was shocked to see that I was more than twice the size I was when he last saw me.  There was a shock of how he couldn't put his arms around me, and how big I was stomach wise - he had to step back and take my size in, he told me.
I looked at your profile.  500+.  Nice work!
