A couple things, put on 20+ pounds and haven't driven truck since the fall... I can hardly fit behind the wheel. Not sure if I will even be able to drive it once the battery is fixed! Tight fit is an understatement, wedging myself into driver's seat was painful and no hope of adjusting belly into semi comfortable position. It was digging deep into my fat
As for my daily driver, a midsize suv, I've felt my love handle brushing the center console recently. Centered in seat my hand or a pen almost doesn't slide between anymore and maybe only an inch of space left between left side and door. Nowadays belt buckle digs into my hip in most vehicles I ride in, and I've been in a couple compact vehicles recently that feel very claustrophobic.
My belly also brushes against bottom of the steering wheel, not enough to cause issues yet but I've noticed a decline in my range of motion when turning sharp corners. Need to use two hands, belly gets in way of turning wheel over one handed but still doable. With the cooler weather I absolutely love the shock of my warm skin against the cold surface. Also enjoy tucking my thumb against belly at 6 o clock position... and under the seatbelt. By 300+ I won't be able to reach anymore. My hands are starting to be forced to rest at 8 and 2 without straining my arm.

After 6 months⦠how do you fit in your truck now after changes in your belly shape (despite the number on the scale not changing much)?
I too am curious and would love to see a picture or video. Belly to steering wheel contact and space constraints in the driver's compartment of a vehicle are incredibly hot.
Not long ago a very heavy lady was checking out one of my classic cars. She got in without issue but really filled out the driver's seat with her belly pressed into the steering wheel. It was her first time in a classic sports car. That girl squished herself in there and started it up. While we chatted, she spent a solid five minutes revving the engine and listening to it rumble. So hot!
When I got in to take off, the seat felt all warm and compressed from her presence.
