Fat experiences

Wantbefaat:
At work, we took a photo of employees. The fat girl tried to find a position that would make her appear thinner. It was funny to me because her belly was twice as big as mine. How surprised I was when two equally fat people stood side by side in the photo.

CuppaJoe:
Wow - DoubleFrosted, I hope that realization was exciting and awesome for you. Yet another visual confirmation that you're getting bigger - and definitely a good share so anyone gaining can monitor their wardrobe! (As if any of us gaining weight didnt have enough worries wardrobe-wise!)

This might be TMI, but I was NOT prepared for how uncomfortable tight underwear can be. Most of my pants have a little room, or drawstring/elastic waist so I can expand them as my waistline dictates.

Despite an elastic waist, though, I think I've sufficiently leaped an underwear size... and it is freakin' annoying to sit all day in tight undergarments. Don't neglect to upsize your boxers, briefs, and bikinis, folks!!! 🤣😋

Doublefrosted:
Oh my goodness, I totally agree! Few things ruin your day the way too small, too tight underwear can. It's just as bad when it comes to outgrowing bras and not realising how much until you've already left the house and the band, wires and straps start shifting, bunching up and digging in to make your day miserable.

And yes, the cause of the mysterious shiny marks on my clothes was an exciting realisation for me. ☺️

Underwear is a constant struggle for me.
I think elastic has gotten worse over the years.
Never seemed to ever wear out now after a few washings and they seem to lose strength.

CatgirlEva:
Same here. I’ll have to buy new underwear within a few months because either the elastic looses it’s elasticity or the waistband just starts separating from everything else. Also, finding underwear that properly fits a growing big girl is harder than one would think!

Quiet Cow:
I’ve had to replace all my bras recently because I’ve gone up a size and the old ones were too tight.

I’ve noticed my thighs touch a little more than they used to. It’s subtle but I like it.

My belly is starting to hang down, which is totally new for me.

I’ve started shopping for clothes in the plus size section.

No more thigh gap😮
