Q: How much weight will you gain this Autumn?

So Autumn will happen soon in Northern China. Apparently you'll gain a great deal of weight and be much fatter than before. It all happens in just a few hours. One day you're wearing a T-Shirt, and then the weather cools down to below 15c and you switch to wearing a sweater, that's when it happens, suddenly your Chinese co-workers will realize, you are now a much fatter Laowai than before. Wearing a sweater in the colder weather, well that's just coincidental obviously.

Am I the only one who gets the sarcasm here? I put a thick coat on, my circumference increases, "the foreigner got fatter!"

Then your weight magically vanishes when you stop wearing heavy clothes in spring... like magic, every year...

lewn:

Yep, you got the sarcasm. :-)

I get told the same thing every year, gets really irritating.

Are you confusing "bulky" with "heavier"?. I am on a self imposed diet once I reached 90 kilos, and already have lost 2 and plan on continuing until I am under 80 kilos, which was my normal weight prior to China.

I expect my weight to remain about the same - just the composition will change (in the better way, not the worse).

The embrace of gravity is slowly getting stronger. Fluctuating around 110kg now, but definitely going steadily up. The weight game is like golf: Lower scores are better.

When i see my reflection, i think: "it's not too bad for a 1.95m 33yo man." Then i see my moobs wobbling as i walk...

I'll only gain a wee bit. Maybe a sweater's worth of extra fat (which I put on for a month or so). I'm in the south, and winters aren't that cold here, not by my standards. Chinese still bundle up in like 4 layers, with little kids adding a few layers on top.

I just explain that being part Slavic, I not fear winter. Winter fear me.

Everyone gains weight in different ways.

Most women will pack it in on in the thighs and hips and butt.

Guys usually pack it on the belly.

I have a strange genetic flaw where I gain weight every autumn in my penis....it's the damnedest thing....last autumn I pack on 10 pounds right onto my Johnson. ...it really freaked the misses out...she refused to sleep with me...too ginormous for her.

So I went and started a strict exercise regiment...weights...cardio...the little fellow was exhasted...but finally after all the hard work...I lost the 10 pounds off my penis and was able to just barely penetrate my girlfriend again.

So this year I only plan on packing on about 2 pounds as this might be doable with a little KY jelly and allot of muff diving first.

I don't care much about what my Chinese co-workers think. Many force themselves to stay thin through starvation or by taking pills. Anyhow, it's all about appearances for them, and they have absolutely zero clue what nutrition and macros mean.
