Gaining

I know what you mean, I had an similar experience lately when going out with the family, first time in swimmers since i started gaining, and i looked pretty big, actually had me stopping for a while, but in the end I just love it too much to have such small things get in the way, i'll deal with each problem as it arises.

My sister and her family live out of state and only come home once or twice a year. One year I had gained a lot of weight and my belly was really huge. My sister kept patting my belly making comments. I was very embarrassed.

I find myself in a bit of a similar situation that Purple Sneakers had posted. It's a bit of a confidence battle having to deal with people you know and "the elephant in the room" of them noticing that you're getting bigger.

But I have to admit, that part of that tension of being embarrassed is a bit of a turn on.
