Heavier than Average: Chronicles of a Fat Guy

Occasionally, on this page, I share my experiences as a fat guy as well as a few photos from time to time. I am open to fielding questions about my experiences as well as chatting. Some quick info about me: A hetero guy in his mid 30s who just over 3 years ago weighed in at a relatively fit 175 pounds before packing on an extra 100+ pounds to become the fat 300+ pound guy you find on this page today - please note, not actively looking to lose or gain weight.

hey big guy, what you weighing these days? been able to get back to 300?

Hey Anon, I haven't been able to drop quite that much yet. I had an annual physical and weighed in at 314 and which did not make my physician happy. At moment I am just under 310. Still working my way back down to 300.

Come back to us, we miss you

Hey Anon, sorry, life is lifing :)

[heavier-than-average]

What clothe size are you using these days? Did you have to buy anything larger while being at your heaviest?

Hey Anon, didn't really have to buy new clothes at my heaviest because of size but admittedly things did start fitting a bit more snug. I am mostly 3xl across board these days but did find some shirts that 3xb worked better for me and as far as pants when I am not wearing something with elastic waist I am in 50s and 52s depending on brand.

is it instinctual for fat guys to grow out their beards? do you really think it hides how fat your face got?

Hey Anon, I think this is second or even third time I have been asked this lol, not sure if it is instinctual and can't speak for others, I had a beard on and off always even in my lighter days

Now that you have been fat for a few years do you still get surprised reactions from people who knew you when skinny? Or is everyone now used to fat you?

Hey Anon, I don't get as much of this anymore, most people in my life are used to me being bigger guy these days but I still do get it occasionally. I got tagged in a photo on FB somewhat recently and someone made comment on it saying "Bro you got fat" so there are still people that haven't met this version of me lol.

Has there been a point where you regretted gaining so much weight? I mean being over 300 lb is a lot and it must come with some downsides. Was it worth it?

Hey Anon, haven't really regretted it but I have had moments where I do pause and think about how much bigger I am now and if I should work some of the pounds off. Generally speaking though I guess you could say it was worth it

[heavier-than-average]

Whats a lowkey thing you find you enjoy about being fat you would have never considered?

Hey Anon, good question, I would say that my ability to float in the pool has gotten so much easier, before I would sink like a rock and would have to work super hard to stay afloat but now not so much lol

[heavier-than-average]

Your profile picture doesn’t do you justice anymore. You’re so much bigger and rounder now.

Hey Anon, ha yeah you aren't wrong, probably should update that one of these days

[heavier-than-average]

Honestly why did you let yourself get so fat?

Hey Anon, because food is just too delicious ha

[heavier-than-average]

I like that you pretend you have any control, your fat ass clearly has gotten past the point you can control. You can lose a few pounds for a bit but just end up piling on even more each time.

Hey Anon, admittedly it is hard to keep under control, taking my eye off the ball for even a little bit can quickly add up but no worries, I got control still

[heavier-than-average]

do you worry that any of your irl friends or family might find your posts?

Hey Anon, it has crossed my mind

[heavier-than-average]

Once upon a time there was a guy that was slim and fit.

Then one day he realized just how much he enjoyed food and started to let himself indulge.

It started out slowly with a few extra pounds and he didn't really mind.

Then before he knew it the few extra pounds had turned into more, a lot more.

Now when the guy looks in the mirror he no longer sees any evidence of the former slim and fit man he once knew, he now only sees a large morbidly obese man.

Sound familiar?

Hey Anon, lol yeah this does sound quite familiar

[heavier-than-average]

Have you ever put something like a pen in your fat rolls to see if it disappears into the fold?

Hey Anon, admittedly out of curiosity I have seen what my rolls can hide lol. That said, the worst thing that hides in them is sand when going to the beach.

[heavier-than-average]

What has been your food an exercise plan?

Hey Anon, I go to the gym 4 times a week, do weights and cardio. As for food I just am watching portion sizes and when it is a good option go the salad route

[heavier-than-average]

I think you should start to fatten up your girlfriend. Get her nice and chubby to better compliment your fat ass.

Hey Anon, not something I would actively engage in doing

[heavier-than-average]

How tall are you?

Hey megacoffeebird, I am just over 5' 10"

[heavier-than-average]

How much weight have you lost so far?

Hey damnyourefatdude, I am down to about 310 pounds, so down 8
