Just a reminder that you donโt owe anyone an explanation or excuse for your weight gain. This includes family, friends and professionals. If you want to gain fat, do it. If you want to gain muscle, do that too.
This ideology applies to most things that arenโt illegal or harmful to others. If you donโt do what you want to do with your life, your life will do what it wants to do with you, and you will watch as you live someone elseโs life inside of your own body.
People who like to discuss weight with others tend to have a very coercive way of asking you to explain yourself. For these same people, your explanation will never satisfy them, because it isnโt curiosity, as much as it is discomfort with your deviation from the norm.
