Is anyone else getting fat right now?

When I’m walking, it’s like I have to lift one leg over the other with every stride. I’m not used to my thighs rubbing together it feels so gross. Then I caught myself wondering how many calories I’m burning when I’m putting sunscreen on. I bought a “fat suit” for work, and then I actually had to start wearing a dress because it’s even looser. The dress looked really good on me though so I wore it for four work days in a row.

Then I was riding my horse, and I felt like a fat person on a scooter, scooting through a texas walmart buying twinkies and unable to walk myself.

I’ve gained 15 lbs since I started studying for L1 in August 2012. Most of it from alcohol I’m sure.

I surely have put up a few pounds but judging by your “fat person on a scooter” analogy, I think you are picking up weight at an increasing rate. Take it down a notch by using swaps (fruits for burgers)

I get a cfa belly every year

I actually lost about 15 pounds while studying, I forget to eat!

Secret Sauce,

Thanks for the ‘‘light’’ post, it just put a big ‘’ fat’’ smile on my face… Very well needed at this stage… :slight_smile:

I’m experiencing self control bias. I keep thinking about the short-term payoff of eating yummy food.

My discapline for stuyding is good though :slight_smile:

Yea, this happens every time. No reason to care about stuff like that the couple weeks before a test that’s only offered once a year. More than enough time to resume caring once it’s over.

Yeah, that’s how I try to view it, as my “forecasted” increase in weight.

I am getting married 2.5 months after the exam and I had to check with a personal trainer that I will be able to feasibly get this weight off in time at a sustainable, non-freak diet, rate.

Yup. CFA belly. Will treat myself to a new suit in August/pant alteration depending on the results

hi adam

CFA Belly effect. GETTING BIG, the wrong way.

All time high weighing in a 222lbs over here. My name should be cfaFaTSO.

I was gaining weight until I got the stomach flu Saturday night. Lost 10 lbs and a full day of studying. Win/lose situation I guess.

mee !! hate gaining weight! how much would I have to run to get rid of all the fat!!!

I am training for a full marathon at the same time preparing for CFA, so not an extra ounce added and I am eating like a cow…

went to the cinema with a mate last night and his opening line was ‘sup chunky, nice beard!’
