Fat experiences

The progress from 150's to 200 was really slow and filled with doubt. Some days would be very calorie filled and others were filled with regret.

I think once I hit 210 though, and had enough chub to really indulge in it, i.e. play with rolls, feel the heft on my body, the decision to gain was much much easier and so I ended up putting on the rest in perhaps 3 or 4 years 😅

Yup! I was a avid runner half and full marathons. I even finished third in a 10k race. I was a fit 145 back then. It never fails to amaze me when I see those pictures of my athletic self. Putting on my shoes is an athletic triumph for me these days.

Gained over 60lba so far. Kik me at gaetano2733 if you want to fat chat and see my growth

Definitely! Over the last seven years I've gone from being jacked and working out 4-5 times per week, to fat with a big belly and moobs. I used to run 3-5 miles easily and couldn't imagine running a mile at this point.

this was the same for me... as i got fatter i got worried, and attempted to go back to the gym to "get it under control." but by that point i had fallen so out of shape, the act of failing at the exercises i used to perform easily was so humiliating, i just couldn't face it anymore. all the jiggling and bouncing on the treadmill was just too much, and having to quit a few minutes into it... ugh.
then you compare that to the lifestyle of eating delicious food, not concerning yourself with calories, or how healthy it is - just enjoying it and allowing yourself to indulge... mmm, it is an easy lifestyle to fall in love with!

I was 195 in July 2019 and now I’m 265LB. I’ve had a ton of muscle atrophy because of my diet and lack of exercise. It’s been so hot watching my body change so rapidly because of the trash food I can’t stop eating.

Ten years ago I was 135, now I'm at 215. I definitely can't run like I used to but I still do some exercise each day to not be completely out-of-shape.

I'm hoping to gain to 250/300 eventually though (hopefully sooner rather than later) so we will see how that staying-in-shape thing works out.

My wife ran track. After gaining 75lbs, she tried going back to running and immediately hurt her knee and foot from the added weight. The doctor had her couch bound on crutches and put her on a large dose of Prednisone for a couple months which made her ravenously hungry; piled on another 30lbs to her.

And that really seemed to seal the deal when she started grappling with the reality that she was just going to be fat.

Even though that was years ago, she'll still use that as an excuse in conversation for her continued weight gain. "She can't exercise".

Wife was about 135 before the first of her two pregnancies before we met. That coupled with the aforementioned prednisone to control her asthma out a ton of weight on her. Seems like that steroid stuff will always do it! She’s been north of 300 pounds for a good 15 or so years now. Confident as hell, though :-)

I have!
