Fat experiences

Something I’ve noticed while gaining is that while I don’t consider myself huge - I’m definitely not small - I was recently at a popular clothing store and was shocked I’m now shopping in the largest section there at only 230lbs. I also have noticed that other large people don’t seem as fat to me as I gain more. I guess I know I’m pretty fat, but as I get fatter the amount I consider to be significantly fat seems to become more and more. Does anyone else find themselves in this same thought pattern?

Ive talked to other gainers before about this and this is a completely normal feeling as you put on weight. I'm over 100 pounds overweight, yet sometimes I feel like I'm only slightly chubby compared to other people when I look at myself in the mirror. There are a few situations where I get a reality check about how big ive actually gotten such as a many stores not selling the size of clothing I need or carpooling with someone else who's smaller and seeing how much space I take up in a seat compared to them .

Honestly I feel this daily, somewhere in the back of my mind my body still thinks I'm skinny. I work in a fairly small warehouse and since it was the end of the 1st quarter a lot of our vendors rushed out a bunch of product all at once to meet their quotas so there's a bit of backlog of boxes back there. And my little monkey brain keeps thinking I can walk between them easily but its really a squeeze.
Oh and also I managed to break the wheel off one of our rolly stools and that's the first chair I've broken in a while

Absolutely, it’s a real changing prospective on things. Every is getting smaller I just normal for me.

From your point of view you only look down, and really only at you front. You do not see your full width or depth. Unless in a photo or mirror. And even then it’s most by yourself.

It’s the group pic, or the shop window reflection that gives sence of my size for some reason, then I think holy crap I am huge. With a smile.

I'm ALL OVER THE PLACE with this. I look small in my bathroom mirror. I feel fat at the gym. I feel small at a buffet or football game. I look huge in store windows when I catch a glimpse of myself. It's all comparative. It's wild how drastically my perspective changes.

After a sickness I'm heading back up to my largest size. I'm trying to pay a lot of attention to details, how my body feels, how my clothes fit, to keep my brain tuned in to my reality. LOL!

And tuned in to eating more? 😁🤣
