any difficulties since gaining weight?

[expanding gut]

After returning to college this year, the seats that they have in the lecture rooms have aattached a bench/table that you fold over to write on. So this year when i tried folded the table over it hit my big gut its quite tight so i have to go without table or hold it forward! When i strted i had 4 or 5 inches room? What other difficulties have u had when u gained weight!

I have the same kind of problems at my classes too. I usually have to suck my gut in a bit and fit through. It's pretty cool to notice how far you've come though so it's all worth it.

Yeah, I have noticed that it is getting harder to tie my shoes now... hehe...
But I'm quite glad for that anyway, it's pretty cool to se how much you have "grown" so for me it's all worth it!

I've run into a few things.
>Had trouble fitting in desks with connected chairs. Had to set at tables my senior year.
>Hips wide enough to provide some problems getting up out of chairs in movietheaters, but my girlfriend has it worse. :D
>Belly pinning you betwween the table and booth at my favorite Italian Resturant. :o
>Had trouble tying my shoes, but am still flexible enough to do toe touches.
>Outgrowing clothes too quickly. :D

With my waist at about 42-44 inches, I find it hard to find jeans and shorts in my size at places like JC Penny and other places.

hi bishopboyca...JC penny is known for selling extended sizes...try looking on their web site or ordering their big & tall catalog...Land's End also sells extended sizes. At both these stores, 42-44 isn't all that big believe it or not...good luck

Just growing out of clothes...But I kind of like it. My skinny clothes are like trophies of something I conquered. If I gain another 10 pounds I will have to get new jeans. I look forward to it though.
