People who went fit to fat

Day to day… not much change.

I was a power lifter (amateur, gym rat). I was pretty muscular but with definite “padding”, which I love.

I started getting fatter. I gained about 45-50 lbs on my 5’6” frame after I got sidelined from back surgery, ironically, not from the gym. I loved getting and being fat, I still do.

I’m slowly back to the gym, but much lighter and different workouts. I’m still pretty muscular under the fat. My job is pretty physical, more than you’d think (busy supermarket deli) so it’s hard to keep the weight on.

I’m not supposed to, but I’m always chowing down what I over cut for an order. Salami, baloney, cheese, ham pieces throughout the day adds up. However, the constant 4 - 6 hours movement is good cardio.
