Fat experiences

There are so many variables. I wore XL until I was over 240lbs, then quickly increase to XXL, XXXL and now 4XL

I couldn't see the original question, but I have had to go up two pants sizes, from thirty eights to forties. My waist is nearly 48 inches, but wear I actually wear my belt is around 42 inches. Though some 38's actually fit. I do keep some old pairs of jeans, that are way too small just to try on from time to time.

I haven't split a seem in pants since I was a teenager.

I recently switched to size 38 jeans,the 36 just stopped buttoning at my waist
