Christmas gains before and after!

This morning, I weighed 492.8 before eating anything. I wasn't planning to exceed 500 lb, but I feel like it may be inevitable without any effort.

What does your belly peeking out feel like?

As someone who has been big forever, I always know when a shirt has ridden up. At home, unless I have to be on camera for work on Zoom, I usually wear clothing that lets my belly show by design. . or if I'm relaxing, I'll pull my shirt up a little so nothing is constructing me. Consequently, more than a few delivery people have seen my gut. 🤣

How big of a belly do you want?

BigBallBellyGirl:
I've actually become unable to reach my own belly button with the last 40 or 50 pounds I've gained. I use a sponge on a stick to wash it, and a backscratcher if the front of my belly itches. My partner has to help me put lotion on.

Nofbar:
I've wondered what it would take for that to happen.

BigBallBellyGirl:
A lot of belly fat and short, puffy arms.

BigFox:
So I guess the question is. Did you giggle and pat your belly when you realized. Or was it an “Oh my!” Moment?


It was weird... By the time I realized it, My fingers were a good three or four inches from being able to reach it. I was quite surprised!

What is the hottest cause for someone who's been maintaining weight, to suddenly start gaining?

Stretching your belly out, thinking you'll be able to cut back anytime you want to, only to realize you're now eating thousands of calories daily just to feel minimally satisfied.

Cars for 400lb plus

We're going the van route, because I can no longer move enough in my Camry to be safe. At some point, I also need a lift for my scooter. I didn't see myself in a minivan before the age of 30, but they're so nice inside, and I'll be able to get in and out easily as well.

Practical fat habits

Iluvcupcakes:
Did you say carrots and peanut butter.. like you dip your carrots in peanut butter? Or did you mean separately? 🤔


Yup. I dip baby carrots in PB. I know... not everyone's cup of tea. Don't judge, LOL. 😊😊😊

Practical fat habits

Have plenty of snacks of all kinds available and within reach. Mine include healthy snacks too. Sunday, between meals, I snacked on corn chips and ranch dip, broccoli and hummus, carrots and peanut butter, yogurt, nuts, oreos, strawberries, ice cream, cheese, crackers, slices of pepperoni, donuts, and celery with pimiento cheese. I was able to snack essentially non-stop because I had variety.

Under belly rash

I have a huge tummy, and I have this issue year-round. Caldesene works too!
