No, I'm fine being a little heavy..My metabolism has slowed down and refuse to fight it when I'm only ten pounds overweight.

The belly is protruding and shaking more than before.

Years ago, I dated a woman who watched her figure very closely. Just as a joke, when I wasn't looking, she would take a handful of candy and quickly cram it in my mouth and then laugh hysterically.

literally, when people would point out that it looked like I had been eating well lately.

I've never performed any calculations. What I will say is that I look as though I've ingested a cake in one sitting.

From the very beginning. When it finally happened, I freaked out. Go figure.

Yes, I've experienced this. Many years ago, I dated a woman who would literally bring me a whole cake, pie, or some other rich food product everytime she came over ( which was twice a week).She was watching her weight like a hawk. Not surprisingly, I began to blow up and I'm very short for a guy so it was very evident.

It certainly takes time to get used to being seen as a larger person. Some family members will say " He's got a dad bod" others will say, I like the weight on you. It looks good. Some people will give you diet advice.

I'm 5'3 and in spite of the fact that my BMI is only 25, I look as though my BMI is much higher. Being that I'm short, I easily round out with each pound.
