I posted this elsewhere, but during the Christmas holiday gatherings, various members of my family asked me if I'd been working out because I was "looking solid". Lol

I've been feeling anything BUT solid - the squish is real, y'all.

Another one has some science behind it - telling someone that they have put on some "happy weight" when in a relationship. Apparently there have been a number of studies in which the data demonstrates a tendency for people to gain a bit of weight when in a happy and stable relationship.

For me its the inverse: I'm not fatter because I'm in a happy relationship... I'm happy because my relationship is making me fatter!

It's been said I have "an appetite".

Yes, if you can call putting away 9"x13" pans of stuffing and mac and cheese plus veggies and bread in one sitting, you might conclude I have an appetite. 😉

I've never heard that one before. As someone who throws down in the kitchen, I'm used to hearing people say that meaning they wish they had my lunch.

people really like to talk about their diets and recommend them for no reason unsolicited

I had this happen just last night. It's never happened to me before. I guess I'm getting pretty fat.

They do. And it's bizarre, because usually, you're just minding your business. When someone brings it up. They will ask if you have tried fasting. No boo. I'm 500 lb. Does it look like I miss a meal?

Ugh, yes. Did I ask about your diet? No? Then why do you think I want to hear about it as I fill my plate with appetizers?

Impossible to say - no picture ever posted even though 100's of posts...

I always find it funny how my friends and family will get REALLY into talking about there work outs and getting in shape and loosing weight! blah blah blah🤣 and im just sitting there not saying anything but like......little do you know I'm thinking about the dozen donuts and quart of heavy cream I'm going to indulge in later because I'm actively trying to GAIN weight! And they will say. "Hey u know ur getting pretty big! You should probably think about working out!" I just give them the ole' yea.... "I'm REALLY thinking about it!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
