Hey everyone. I broke my dominant hand about a month and a half ago. Being a college student, it was very hard to adapt to my workload while not causing unnecessary pain, so I ended up becoming very lazy. I'd spend all day sitting on my couch, finishing all of my work with as little movement as possible. I avoided doing dishes by just eating a diet of exclusively cheap microwavable meals or pizzas from my campus' dining hall. As someone who has been thin all his life, it was quite a shock to be around 10 pounds heavier when I got my splint taken off. I've always enjoyed seeing women put on weight, but I'm unsure about putting on weight myself. I have always been known as the thin one, and straying from that scares me, but on the other hand I really am fascinated by the idea. The way my pants feel, the extra snugness around what is now a beginner's muffin top... it's so nice. I'm split between wanting to eat and grow, but I've never had to face that as a reality until now.
I want to know if anyone else has experienced something like me. I am both scared of gaining weight and overeating on a regular basis now, and as much as I would probably prefer being thin, I can't fight the side of me that really loves to eat. I'm not necessarily looking for a solution, but I would like someone like me to talk about it with.
