I too find this quite unsettling ...

I bought a XL man t-shirt while in Japan to wear to bed as a pyjama (I was wearing size XS back then). Now that I wear size L it's a regular slightly oversized t-shirt. My body is unrecognizable from 7 years ago.

You'd be happy to meet me lately...

My sick leave is ending but I don't know what I'll wear ro work (sweatpants and oversized hoodies?) because none of my normal/clean clothes fit me anymore.

I'm the last months I've been going out wearing pyjamas with a coat over them and winter boots without socks. My pyjama pants have a stretchy waistline but could be mistaken for lounge wear, but I've gotten to the point where I don't care what people think anymore so I've gone out multiple times wearing a onesie pyjama that definitely couldn't be mistaken for real clothes.

My weight gain is out of control and I've started eating more of my forbidden foods since it seems pointless not to. I'm getting fatter even when I cut back calories so why even bother?

By now I'm probably over 170 lbs but I don't have the courage to get up on the scale... I've measured my bicep and I'm one inch short of my largest ever measurement (when I was 180 lbs or over). No wonder t-shirts sleeve cuffs are getting so tight.

I have an endocrinologist appointment on April 14th and I know he'll want to weight me to compare with my January weight in (which I don't know because I asked him not to tell me). If he does I'll ask him again not to tell me the number but I'll know I've gained weight if he starts the discussion about starting a GLP-1 agonist. He was willing to do it last time but I was reluctant because of all the things we hear. I want the weight loss but some side effects are scary...

The british TV show Fat Friends (available on Amazon Prime ATM, the canadian one anyway). There's plenty of fat representation in it so I was surprised I couldn't find any mention of it on FF...

There is even a scene (season 2 I think) where Jamie flexes shirtless in front of a mirror while saying "big guy!" (or something like that), his huge gut hanging and shaking.

It was almost belly play!

I had asked the question in another thread but I don't think anyone replied to me.

Is there a store policy if you accidentally rip a seam on a piece of clothing while trying it in the fitting room?

Do you have to pay for it?

I'm not talking about someone trying clothes in a size that they know is too small for them.

If that happened to me I'd be so embarrassed I'd say nothing, head to the cash, pay for the article and leave the store.

Once in my car (hopefully not on the way to it) I'd have a huge meltdown and cry.

I get what you're going through. 💜

I was always small chested and about 2 years ago started to put on weight mainly in this area.

I also saw doctors to try to find out if there was a medical reason for this, hoping there would be a way to stop it.

I have major body dysmorphia too.

This profile has been deleted. I wonder if it was fake to begin with?

Not sure what you mean by "this will not end well?" I'm a closet FA myself in a relationship and I would never push my boyfriend into gaining unless I knew for sure he was into it.

Go enjoy great food with her and take the opportunity to catch up? If she sees you indulging maybe she'll feel safe and allow herself to?

Interesting anecdotes!

I'd never be so blunt, I'm the secret FA in the corner giving you side glances while longing to touch all that soft flesh.
