I once gained 10 pounds in about a month.
That was a huge red flag and I immediately took action.
I cannot imagine certain milestones being eclipsed without taking action.
You hit 200, 225, 250, 275, 300 FUCKING POUNDS AND YOU STILL KEEP EATING!
WTF?
What about the clothing expenses?
If I have to buy a new belt I’m emptying my fridge and pantry.
