Back in 2021 I was in full swing of gaining when I had to stop due to relationship issues. At the time I was 21 and around 250lbs at a height of 5'7 so the weight definitely showed on me. I ended up losing roughly 100lbs over the next few years after a break up and only recently decided that I wanted to start gaining again. Within the last year I've put on around 50lbs with 30 of those being since December. The strange thing is I feel a lot bigger then I did back when I was at my biggest. I'm sitting at about 207 at the moment and my belly in particular feels a lot more prominent then it was before and I've been wondering if there is a reason as of to why this might be?? It makes me curious to know how I might look once I get back to my old weight
It’s definitely not just in your head. Gaining it back the second time usually hits the gut way faster because of how the tissue memory works. Honestly, the 'rebound' gain usually looks way more prominent because your body is just soaking everything up. So, that 30 lbs since December is clearly going straight to the right spot. Since those fat cells were already stretched out before, they ‘refill’ much easier. Plus, you probably have less muscle now than you did at 250, so the weight is just pure, soft volume.
You’re probably going to look way bigger at this time than you ever did back in 2021!
