Gaining

Damn, didn't notice before?

I knew that I was getting fat is when I couldn’t fit into my clothes. Anytime that I was gaining weight, I had to go up another size. I knew that I was getting fat is when my starter belly became a beer belly. I knew that I was getting fat when my face gotten fat and my neck became a double chin. I knew that I was getting fat when I could barely fit into a booth. I knew that I was getting fat when I could no longer see my feet. I knew that I was getting fat is when I bent several camping chairs. I knew that I was getting fat when my regular walk became a waddle and my belly would jiggle when I waddle. I knew that I was fat is when I had to buy a seat belt extender because it was getting tight in the car.

I knew I was getting fat when I went to put on some pants for a work function and they would NOT button. Not for the life of me. I had to do some serious shopping.

It was an INSANE turn on.

Everyone will experience it slightly differently, but that line is right around when I started feeling it in a real way. Before then just felt like stages of chubby, but something I could hide.

I also stopped seeing my feet standing up. Bending over to tie my shoes has an actual obstacle and leaves me a little winded, XL starting to cut into my underbelly, things like that. Sucking in my gut has been doing less and less for a little while, but now it's completely pointless, all can tell, and from that point on, they only will be able to more and more.

The first time that there's undeniably zero doubt you got fat, is very fun though.

When I got stretch marks all over the bottom of my stomach and a permanent fat roll although that was after years of gaining. I’m up 110 lbs and probably got the stretch marks around the 80-90 lb mark but I was stuffing a lot more to be fair….

probably when i went on a stress eating binge for several months, completely outgrew my entire wardrobe, and after trying and failing to diet realized that with my eating habits there was no way i was going to lose enough weight to ever fit into any of it again. i spent most of my life around the “normal” bmi range, so having my weight suddenly balloon was a pretty big shock for me

I knew when i was getting fat when i was starting to get out of breath from jogging as well as when the double chin started becoming more noticeable recently
