Fat experiences

Had folks asking if I lost weight while looking round in my 5X jersey, (though could have lost in the face) lol.
Some starting every convo with Chief, Big Man, Big Chief, Biggie Smalls (out of endearment/flirting).
Some starting conversations about interactions with those 300+ lbs fatter, being the closest thing they'll see in comparison for a while.
Identifying and seeing the real venom those out there have for fatties, especially when someone paying for 2 seats advocates for better treatment from airlines as she's entitled to get the most for her $.

this is a great visual

how my chest jiggles when i walk now my shirts feeling snugger

Needing to incorporate my fat belly into my 'cockpit drill'. Fasten seatbelt... flop belly over belt... check mirrors... 🤭

Making my portions larger and larger.

I love sleeping on my front, but it's getting harder the bigger my gut grows. It can be comfortable at the right angle, like sleeping on a big pillow, but turning over and adjusting my belly is getting trickier 🙈

I can totally relate to this. I sometimes wish my mattress had a recess in it that I could put my tummy in when I sleep on my front. It's like lying on a giant hot water bottle... 🛌

I usually fall asleep and wake up most days with my jelly donut gut reaching the ceiling and it makes me feel like a mountain of a man

So relate ❤️ I have a full length mirror by my bed, so it's one of the first things I see every morning.

Today I wore a pencil skirt I haven’t worn in a while, and although it was OK in the morning, I had to unzip the skirt to drive home because it started to tear in the back when I sat down in the car 😵 I don’t know if it was just how I was sitting or what, since it had been fine earlier in the day, but I weighed when I got home and I am somehow up about 6 pounds since I last wore the skirt, even though I wasn’t trying to gain. I’m definitely not complaining, but it was quite a shock since it’s rare for me to gain without a sustained effort and I’ve been at a plateau for a while to boot.
