Fat experiences

I just started my career as a welder a couple of months back.Making accurate welds takes a lot of focus and you need to be able to adapt to different positions like leaning forward,kneeling down,etc.Luckily most projects involve easy positions to weld on and if I have trouble with getting into a certain position,my much more fit welding partner helps me out with it

Were my weight causes problems is that there are certain positions that are difficult to do the fatter you are.Kneeling down and crouching down is a nightmare since it tiers me out really fast and it gets harder to focus with every second that passes by due to fatigue.Also,some spots that I need to weld on are hard to reach,some of these are literally impossible because my belly gets in the way so I call my other partner to do it.

Lastly,there are some projects that involve climbing through some holes and other obstacles.There was some occasions we're I just too fat to fit though something.First time i learned about that,I tried to force my belly to fit but I ended up getting stuck lol.

This inevitably will force me to stop gaining weight a bit earlier than expected but that's ok,I'm planning to just put on a couple of more pounds before I reach a comfortable weight

It's not a job but some things in college are difficult. The toilets are the worst, the stalls are just too small

I often work around little kids. One day, one of the 4yr olds kept giving me hugs. Some while I was standing, or sitting at my desk.

Before he had to leave, he came back and gave my belly a small, gentle rub as he gave me one more hug, and asked, "How do you have such a big belly?"
I told him I liked eating.
He said, "I *really* like it."
I said, "Thank you. Me too."

He thanked me and told me to have a good day on his way out.

Back before I started gaining weight on purpose (these were like size 28, I’m like a 54 at least, for reference) I had 3 pairs of work pants that were serviced, well I managed to need a bigger size after a while and the uniform guy said I needed to watch it or he’d have to drop me if I got to big - I don’t work there anymore but

At my current job there’s no uniform but they want us to where shirts but it’s not like oh you have to but it’s professional… but every time they’ve asked for my size it’s gone up, it’s been like that for like the last 2 years lol, I think they’ve just given up I dress decently enough for the job with the shirt in mind it’s not like I’m a slob or anything. I think they’ve given up trying to get me the right size lol
