When/how did you notice, "Wow, I got fat?!" - Page 3

For quite a few years after I had started to gain weight I used to suck in my stomach so that it looked like I was just solid/stocky. But then as I gained I started to eat more and it got to the point where there was no point trying to hide how fat I had become and so I just don't bother anymore and now I realised "wow, I'm so fat that I can't hide it anymore."

By comparison to some gainers I'm more chubby than fat but at 148lbs and 5'1 (22lb weight gain since I started) I feel bigger than my scale is telling me (and IMHO, sometimes fat is a state of mind). And I've had that thought "Wow, I got fat!" My realisation was recent enough becaue of a couple of incidences... when I would look down and see my round soft belly pouring into my lap, or seeing it bulging over my underpants, popping a couple of buttons on what were once "loose" clothes, not being able to close any of my jeans anymore or my tops riding up and showing my tummy. Seeing pictures of myself with a double chin. And waddling a little bit because my thighs are rubbing against each other.

Actually, today I realized I am fat! Not just a bit overweight and pudgy..but fat! I took a picture of my bulging belly for another thread, and I cannot believe that is me! My thighs rub, my arms jiggle, my belly bulges...really bulges...my back has bulges. I have packed on 20 pounds since January. Wow. Makes me hungry!
