300obesity:
I had a very large gain over a period of 5 years or so. I am 295 at 5'3. My belly is VERY big. And it hangs pretty low. I find it hard wearing clothing. The movement of my belly slab flopping up and down as I walk will push my pants lower and it will make my shirts ride up. That lower belly is often hanging out I need long shirts. When I walk it bounces up and down. Its hard on my back sometimes. My mother in law loves to point it out. She whispers "your gut is showing" etc. She often shakes her head at how huge I'm getting.
Hmm. Sounds like you need someone to counteract your m-i-l and tell you how beautiful you really are :-)
