I’ve gained a few pounds back in the last 6 months of working hard, hardly working-out, and eating poorly.
Wifecat told me she thought my beergut was, ahem, “Cute; it looks like you’re about 4 months pregnant- you know, there but with the right clothes you can’t really tell.”
Which of course means I am now on a diet and have started boxing again.
Well, being very unfamilar with what the stages of pregnancy look like, I would be at whatever month the average woman just starts to show. I can easily hide it with any non-tight shirt, but get that shirt off, and there is a definite curve.
Though, because of that, I ahve started running again, hopefully I can get rid of it.
Likewise, not beer induced, just two months of not working and spending way to many hours at the computer… But it’s only 3-4 months along and should start regressing now that I’ve started walking every day and cutting back on dinner portions… Or at least stop growing… Frigging unemployment… Fracking exercise… This is why I prefer having a job that keeps me physically active.
Nice timing on the OP Tomcat. Just last week Mrs. Stone patted my belly and commented that my vascetomy may keep her from getting pregnant but apparently it didn’t keep me from getting in the family way.
My quintuplets have gone from 9 months to 6 months, and I think 3 of them have decamped for greener pastures. If I can get down to 4 months twins I’ll be happy.
OK, maybe it was more of a miscarriage. Stress-induced loss of apetite resulted in 20 pound weight loss over 4 weeks. I’ve recovered mentally and have managed to keep it off without much effort. I’m now only about 10 pounds over “ideal” weight, which is no bother to me as I have a stocky build and sink like a rock when I’m at the pool. I reckon I could lose that last 10, but I look ok now so why bother?
FTR I did have a corrective stomach surgury which made about half of my stomach unavailable thenceforth, but I realized no weight loss at all.
[hijack] I’m an idiot, so I may not understand. But the surgury I had was a fundoplication wherein the top half of the stomach is wrapped around the base of the esophagus and attached so. For the treatment of chronic reflux and injury-induced hiatal hernia. Basically, I had no working lower esphagial sphincter and even though I could reduce stomach acids with drugs, the yumyum would still flow out of my stomach if I got horizontal. It was affecting my quality of life, you see? Such procedures are sometimes expected to lead to weight loss due to restricted stomach volume, but this is not commonly the case in real life as the bag just stretches to accommodate gluttony.
