Does this gym make me look fat?
Jul. 12th, 2012 07:20 amI haven't had a washboard in over 3 years. I weigh more than I used to - simple, right?
So I had the awkward discovery that my underwear was getting...tighter. Pretty sure the wang isn't growing. I have no fear nor any evidence that my ass is fat - in fact it's damn tight meat. The slow realization was
my ass is getting bigger. From muscle.
I bought pants in size 30 where when I was a washboard I wore 29" comfortably. That I attribute to the beer, cake, and restaurant food diet. That's fat, and if you haven't seen my video...it's just fat.
I don't wear clothes often, and what I wear least of all are business clothes. Even a button down shirt reveals to any casual onlooker that I'm as uncomfortable as a pre-teen boy going to church with his grandma...and I probably look like that's who dressed me. Ages ago I was trying to shop a JCPenny men's dept, the cheap sunday suit area, when a very nice salesman asked if he could help. He wound up measuring me - the only time I've been measured since I got a fair guess from a nice woman in a thrift store who figured me for a 36 (turned out to be 36 short). The JCPenny fellow confirmed my pants size (29x30) and informed me my shirt size was 15/32 (or larger than 30).
Lately the rare encounters with shirts seemed even more uncomfortable. An office coworker described my inappropriate style as "Matlock" for constantly undoing the top button. I checked in with the girlfriend, who didn't notice any fat at-on-or around the neck. After an internet technique check, she measured me
with an Ikea paper ruler. It's all I had, and yes I'm ghettoriffic.
Turns out my neck is now 15.5"
The gf noted some time ago, along with "You haven't had a washboard since we first dated" that I had gotten bigger - the olympic lift routine really developed while I was with her. Now it seems I'm a gym stereotype - my neck is disappearing. The shoulders and back are bigger and the neck is growing to match.
I know I won't lift forever - or not like this. So now I am in a situation where my shirts don't fit, but if I replace them I have to stay this size or I'll lose hundreds more $. I guess I could get by on 4 shirts? I don't iron...
The sine wave of weight, and the cost in terms of wardrobe. Ugh.
