I’m actually getting a little porky now, and after trying on my “knock 'em dead” dress and looking like a lumpy sausage, then going hiking with a friend and finding myself in a wheezing pile, I decided that this ends now. Got my ass back in the gym, and hopefully will be back down to my playing weight soon enough.

Cuddly! Yes, I am very cuddly. I am preparing for winter.

The thing is, this isn’t even the most I’ve weighed (I’m just a bit under that - got up to 165 and lost about 35 before my wedding, kept it off a few years until Farticus arrived) but that after you spawn it all moves _around_. My old fat was prettier.

I just wear sweat pants all the time.

Medication. Fluid retention.

Yes, now that you mention it, I did replace all my underwear. Didn’t think about it much at the time. Actually, I was kind of glad to see the evidence that the medicine was having some effect.

No. I don’t think I’ve ever thrown out anything because of size, only because of wear. I still have a few pairs of nice woolen dress pants that are over 20 years old and look and fit just fine.
