When was the first time someone mentioned something about your weight after getting fat? Was it a negative or fun experience for you?
I remember this happening twice. Once in 2000 and once in '01.
The first time was at a rec centre I worked at. There was a kid who said that I was getting fat. It was the first time I had been successful in gaining. I had tried before, but my metabolism was too strong. I had put on about 15ish pounds. Going from 120 about to 135. It was noticeable on my short frame.
The next time was a few months later after I moved cities. I went back home and visited some friends. One of them poked me in the stomach and said I needed to go to the gym. I had gained another 10 or 15 pounds by then.
This time in my life was when I essentially gained my "freshman 15" even though I had graduated by then.
I felt fantastic after both encounters. It confirmed that I was indeed getting fatter for the first time in my life. After years of trying.
Little do either of these people know that I am more than 100lbs heavier than I was then and loving it.
