Fat experiences

When did it hit that you're fat.

When I went to the internist for a checkup and I got a long talk about my weight.

When putting on my socks became a workout 😅

I’m not huge but all gut, it’s exhausting, especially in the early morning, pre work hours 🐷

I've had it a couple times as I've gone through various levels of fat.

Being told that a 42 was as high as khakis went in Sears at that time.

First time I couldn't sit straight in a restaurant booth. Doubly so because it was at a buffet and I hadn't gone through the line yet.

Went to a friend's niece's birthday party and the place had a turnstile you went through to get in. I was too wide even sideways and had to go through the handicap one.

And my personal favorite one. This was just after I passed 400.
I went for my first appointment at my allergist and they didn't have a scale with a high enough limit to weigh me. The sliding weight could only go to 350, their digital scale went to 400 so all they got was ERROR.

More or less this. More specifically when I went shoe shopping one Summer day while wearing a light grey golf shirt, and the effort of putting on all those shoes led me to sweat, and the under-moob sweat dampened my shirt making it go dark around there, making it visible to all.

When did it hit that you're fat.

I had inherited some clothes from my uncle.
I was staying at a residential hotel, that had an all you can eat lunch buffet. I made sure I got my moneys worth. As I gained weight, I only had to
reach in for larger clothing.
When I ran out of larger clothing, I "discovered"
I had a pot belly, and I started to feel fat.

While I noticed my clothes became tighter I still not feeling fat really, maybe it will come to me as I gained weight a little more. I think it's individual.

When I looked down and can longer see my member without leaning forward, and when my belly sat on my legs and I need to physically grab it and move it to adjust it.

It was this site, I think! I've enjoyed reading (and looking at) this site since back in the day when I was in my athletic prime so as much as I enjoyed the content I never could personally relate to the experiences. Then one day (after years of gradual weight gain), I was looking in the mirror and realized how similar I looked to some of the fine chubby folks on here.

I used to read about people's gains here and in my subconscious wonder "how do you let yourself go like that? Good thing I've only gained a couple pounds...". It turns out that only gaining "a couple pounds" a year, turns into 40lbs and a beer gut before you realize it, and THAT'S how people let themselves go. because as it turns out I'm one of them...

I was weighed at my doctor’s appointment on Friday the scale went to 240.3 lbs. I was fully clothed but still I felt really fat!
I measured my waist last night, I’m finally at 48” around, i’m 71” tall.
During my last appointment on Tuesday, my doctor’s nurse asked if I wanted to enroll in the VA’s weight loss program. I respectfully declined.

When I out grew cloths from normal stores and had to start shopping at big guy stores.
