Potbelly
I love all kinds of body transformations, but when it comes to gainers it's always amazing to see when their body decides they aren't just going to be fat, they're gonna be a potbellied fat-boy.
When guys thicken up all over, other people in their life can stay in semi-denial for a while that a man is becoming a pig before their very eyes. They can say: "hey big guy? bulking up?", pretend it's a fitness thing. Plenty of guys look a little better with meat on their bones, they tell themselves, blissfully unaware that man is stuffing himself on the daily.
But there's meat on his bones, and then there's half of a man's body weight all of a sudden hanging all on his front. There's "bulking" and then there's walking in belly first to every room you enter from now on. Constantly looking like you just inhaled an entire keg of beer and a couple extra large pizzas to go with it. Constantly, worryingly, Fat. There's no denying it. Anyone who sees you has to admit you've not only gotten fat, you've become a fat-boy inside and out. They have to picture what you're doing to yourself, the sheer amount of food that you had to greedily gorge on to reach this state.
Skinny you, only a memory now. I can only imagine the shock, how have people talked about the elephant in the room? To your face or behind your widening back?
