Extreme obesity

For those of you who were once thin, at what point did you realize that you became extremely fat?

Exactly, this is the first sign!

It has become exhausting to put on my socks

starting out thin, there's a lot of little milestones along the way, i think. i remember being barely over 200 lbs when my belly got in the way when i was getting out of bed - i felt so fat!

little did i know what was in store! at over 400 lbs, just standing is hard work! stairs really make me consider my options...

I'm not super obese (yet) and my gain has been pretty slow so these realizations have come in waves. At first it was just discovering my body has weight to it now. When I was super thin I didn't have to worry as much about whether or not what I was standing on could support my weight. Now I'm getting scarily close to reaching the weight limit of the ladders at work. The next stage was a hit to my endurance, I'm still relatively active so the hit hasn't been huge but I can definitely tell doing more strenuous tasks take more energy. And now I'm at the stage where my belly is starting to become noticeable. I'm not fully used to having it around, it's very comfortable especially when laying down or lounging. But at the same time it's a little bit awkward having to shift my weight around when standing up. It's not super noticable just yet, on account of how small she still is, but going from nothing to something still feels pretty extreme to me.

After covid when none of my old clothes fit, then again recently when I couldn’t fit into a hotel shower.

I’m losing height

My bigger body must like the lower center of gravity or it’s my posture i was always 5’11 but I’m now 5’8

For me it was when I got out of bed and was out of breath. Then again walking to my car was tiring. It snuck up on me.
