Changes I’ve noticed since I’m bigger

Since I’ve gained some weight and noticed the changes that come with it. One thing I noticed early on is that getting up especially getting out of bed has become quite a bit harder. I simply find that my belly gets in the way. Spreading my legs a bit wider to give my belly more room doesn't really solve the problem and I have to find a sort of momentum to actually get up. And it looks really clumsy too maybe that would make a fun video... hmm. Another thing you’ve likely noticed and that I’ve noticed lately is that I’m breathing more heavily. It’s true (and not just an excuse) that I often have a stuffy nose combined with hay fever but I can’t deny that the extra weight plays a role. It’s not that I’m actually out of breath but my breathing is just heavier even when I’m resting on the couch. Someone actually asked me recently, "Why are you breathing so heavily? You aren't doing anything." Thats when I realised. Something else that’s become more difficult lately though it was for a while is squatting in the shower. I have a shower that isn't very big so trying to squat in there with my larger body and then get back up i a tiny wet space... Oh and fitting into chairs that’s not entirely new either, but I recently hit a new high or low point with that haha. I was at the movies where I fitted exactly into the seat. You know that phenomenon where you sit in a plastic garden chair and the chair is stuck when you stand up? Well that happened with the cinema seat I tried to get up, but I couldn't manage it on the first attempt because I was truly wedged in and had to physically push myself out. I’m afraid I gain another 10 kg I would not be able to fit. But yeah I’m almost too big for a standard cinema seat and I’m not even that fat. Another thing I’ve really struggled with lately is finding a long coat I can almost never get long coats the kind that cover my hips. They simply aren't wide enough. If I go for a larger size it ends up fitting loosely everywhere else yet somehow it still doesn’t fit. I really like wearing a long thick winter coat though so that search is still ongoing. I used to wear high-waisted skirts or trousers with a crop top, which kept my stretch marks hidden but the stretch mark highest up on my belly have extended so far that even when I wear a skirt at my waist they peek out and say "peek-a-boo." It’s not a big deal at allbut it is a change I’ve noticed. I also get the feeling that my capacity has increased over time. Since I rarely do massive stuffings anymore yet I keep gaining weight. I don't feel like I eat significantly more on some days than others, so the only conclusion I can draw is that I’m simply eating a lot more on a daily basis now and that this has become my new normal I guess. For a while I was really consistent with Pilates and enjoyed it a lot but somehow life got too busy and I haven't done it in quite some time. So I really need to pick it up again. Because I’ve realised just how poor my stamina is it was definitely better a while back.
