Who would be most surprised to see your weight gain?
Good question! Definitely anyone from high school would be shocked to see me with a big belly wobbling around. And exes--yeah, I had one in particular who was very THIN conscious. She used to freak out if I had a bloated belly after I ate a big meal, and this was when I was really thin! I can't imagine what she'd think now.
This is definitely something I enjoy thinking about. Thanks for raising the topic!

Who would be most surprised to see your weight gain?
I often fantasize about this. I would love to see reactions from two ex-girlfriends in particular. I was thin, fit and exercised a ton when I dated them. I was 75 lbs lighter than my recent max. One of them often said she didnt want her man to ever get so "huge" as 250 lbs... but thats exactly what I did. If I saw her, she would comment immediately but probably be sort of intrigued and playful about it. My other ex would be way more judgemental and probably gasp in disgust, especially since i put about 50 lbs on in the year after breaking up haha. I lived near her, so I used to walk around in outgrown clothes hoping to bump into her. She even hated that i put on 5-10 lbs while we were dating and wanted me to lose weight, so I suspect she will also think that she dodged a bullet getting away from this fatty.

Def an ex of mine from high school. Especially since she is still super thin and fit, I can imagine her making fun of me quite a bit. Kind of a nice though actually.

I'm actually worried to accidentally bump into my ex since I've gained weight.
At the beginning of our relationship 6-7 years ago I was 30 lbs lighter than I am today, and since the breakup I gained close to 20 lbs, which are very noticeable on my 5'1" frame.
There are some clothes I can't let go (3 corduroy overalls especially) and I've been hoping to stretch them by wearing them.
I'm not sure it's working, because even though they are mostly made of cotton they contain like 3-5% of spandex. They seem to go back to their unstretched shape as soon as I take them off. T_T
In the meantime, tight as they are (my thighs look like sausages in casings and the fabric is visibly pulling everywhere but especially around my midsection), I'm painfully aware they are not the most flattering look for me right now so I don't wear them in public.

Here's the cool thing about ex's:
Their opinions don't matter. They can think whatever they want, but their opinion of you does not matter unless you let it matter. Don't let a possible interaction that never happened steal your joy from you.

Who would be most surprised to see your weight gain?
Anyone who knew me pre covid and before my injury.
I forget how much i had gained but it had been a long time since mom came to see me but she was shocked and irritated me with her sarcasm and cut downs.
I think it was when i hit around 220 - 230 when i agreed to meet a friend from HS. We were in the same group and very close.
We were both shocked. She had gained a lot too. She blamed it on having 2 kids and married life.
I guess not technically embarrassing but there ya go.
Had an ex that liked to embarrass me in public but I dont think thats what you are looking for here.
