Pardon my French, but… holy shit. I actually cannot afford to get one pound bigger nor especially not a single inch fatter. I won’t be able to make it through a normal day anymore.

A guy stopped me mid-waddle downtown and said, “Man, how the fuck did your belly get so goddamn big?” We ended up talking for 10 minutes. He had many questions. This was a first - but at one point he said, “How big around is this thing?”and slapped the side of my gut a few times.

More pics from moving clothes to the “outgrown” bin. This shirt fit me just three months ago; I was considering this for a work shirt, but after a “bend” test, it clearly wouldn’t have lasted. Having a 68-inch belly at 32 means even Big&Tall off-the-rack proportionally won’t work

I (M32) gained 130lbs in the last year, almost all in my belly (now 68” around). At this size, no matter what shirt I wear or bench I sit on, every time is a risked button popping off or chair collapse. If I tested the resilience of this bench longer, might have been disaster!

Struggles having a 68-inch belly at 32-years-old. After letting my weight spiral out of control this past year and gaining 130 pounds (bad lifestyle choices from a cross-country move; new, sedentary, office job with an abundance of fast-food and snacks), I wanna share my story.
