I thought this only happens at Christmas

[DesertRat]

I was in the gym last night on my lunch break when I suddenly looked down and realized I couldn't see my belt. I could barely see me toes. Not being able to believe it, I walked over to the scale. Figured I must be bloated, yeah , water retention, that's it. Heh, it works for my wife. Anyway, 10, count em, 10 pound of fat in like 4 or 5 weeks since I weighed last. No idea where it came from. No significant changes in diet or activity that I'm consciously aware of. Sigh. There will be now or I will look like the Stay Puff Marshmellow man by January.

Oh, no, it happens all year long.....Just ask my husband.

[SpecOpsWarrior]

Mitzi's right, I get attacked by vicious calories all year loong!

Hate to tell you this DR, but it comes with AGE. Every year makes it that much harder to stay slim and trim. Shoot, I gave up trying somewhere in my late twenties.

Not really, it was more like mid forties.

I'm following in your footsteps in oh too many ways.

it's not the donut that is fattening it's the holething.
as you get older everything shifts to the south. Just remember when you use to make fun of those over weight cops and claimed it would never happen to you?
It' a curse that god plays on both genders. ours is just upfront for us to see it.

Yeah, how true that is. Think maybe it's karma or something. I remember thinking. . ah nevermind.

Welcome TO MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

And before you guys get the impression I'm wider than I am tall, I'm not. Granted I need to lose about ** pounds (darn, the moderators have that specific number blocked for some reason-oh well...)

When I started, I weighed 240 pounds and had no "gut" whatsoever, even though I had a 42" waist. When I graduated Army Basic at Fort Benning, I weighed 190 pounds (I was TOO SKINNY-I hate my anemic look in the pictures, and my wife told me I'd better never get that small again,) and could BARELY get 38" jeans on-I do suffer from bigbuttitis. I know ALL FAT PEOPLE say this, but I really do have a large frame. My doctor wants me to "work on it" (the weight) but has told me I have the largest wrist and ankle bones he has ever seen. Also, I hike, SCUBA, and even jog occasionally, and my blood pressure and cholesterol are perfect. Just don't want to be the "fat guy" for all the jokes…

Big guys RUUULE!!

You made my day. I always figured I be the young guy I once was with that shinning badge and trim waste. I realized the badge wouldn't always glow after this big German Blonde I stopped on a DUI clocked me and we rolled around in clam shells fighting. My uniform looked liked I went through a shredder. I wasn't a pretty boy any more. That was in 1968. I guess I don't have to tell you what's happened to the figure since then. I can still see my toes but always said it would never happen to me.

We woman are lucky, if we get that way we can just say we are constantly pregnant!
