Fat experiences

Maybe not the first, but certainly one of the most memorable - feeling my hips brush both sides of the train station ticket gate as I passed through it.

More recently I've had to be selective about which gate I use because there are a couple that are narrower than the rest and I accidentally used one of them recently and it was tight squeeze. I use the wide baggage gates whenever I can.

My friends wife said “what happened to you ? You got a 100 pound Santa gut “ straight to my face

A few times seeing myself in a mirror or picture. But mostly when I put on clothes I haven't worn in a little bit and they either don't fit or are skin tight. Also when parts start to jiggle. From either running, while in the car, etc.

Gaining nicely I see :-)

I had another yesterday when I tried to put on a 3XL tshirt and my belly poked out the bottom, I am firmly in the 4XL verging on 5XL camp haha

I had one yesterday when I realized that I always look for chairs in waiting rooms that don't have arms.

My belly is starting to hang really low. I just bought loose sweaters for work and my belly is sticking out underneath. Knowing that I bought these sweaters on one of the few sites in my country that goes up to 56, I am a little desperate to find bigger ones.

However, the first time I realized that I had crossed the line into obesity was when I went to my favorite clothing store and found that there was no pants up to 46 (my new size at that time)

When I had trouble fitting into certain areas

My first year of college, when I bent my steel bed frame.

There's a few of those haha. Getting out of breathe just trying to put shoes on. Wearing a suit to a wedding once and tearing the pants at the end of night as I got to the hotel. Was insanely embarrassing and arousing all at once. Realizing I needed 2xl clothes and then 3xl. When I had seen a friend I hadn't hung with for a few months and when they saw me they said I "was looking healthy" 🤣 like oof.
