For me it was about 7 or 8. We went to visit some cousins one summer and one of my male cousins around me same age had put on a remarkable puppy fat belly. I was in awe. He was also shirtless. I was just staring at his plump belly and love handles. He was also getting a lot of teasing. He asked an uncle to lift him up and the uncle said, No I can't your too fat!
When I got home I was determined to grow my own belly. I swear I kept eating steadily. I remember the day I weighed myself a few months later and was overjoyed I weighed 100 lbs! My neighbor who was about 3 years older than me told me once he was 125 lbs! I was stunned. In hgh school when I reached 150 I thought I was "fat". Flash forward to now and that cousin is a bit hefty but one would not consider him fat. But I have a good 40 lbs on him with a belly that just seems to grow and grow.
Our family reunion for this year is cancelled due to Covid, but I think in a few years I will be one of ones with the most pronounced beer gut.
