Since this thread is getting popular again I’d like to give the update that I’ve gained another 25 lbs since this post! More fast food places keep opening up near me and all I’ve been doing is smoking and eating all day lately! I only have one pair of pants that fit me from last year so I’ll have to get a new wardrobe. I’ve gotten a few comments since the gain is quite noticeable as I’m rather short and most of the weight going to my belly.
Its fun hearing how so many people have similar stories to mine

It’s the same for many of us. I didn’t get out of my own until nearly 30. Started cooking my own meals and drinking a lot of beer in my single days :-) My ball belly got bigger and bigger.
