Finally managed to put on some weight!
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D9AN)
I've been trying to do that for years. Yes, I know, everyone else is trying to lose. Some people are making themselves really ill doing it. And there are innumerable diets for losing weight but I never found one for putting it on.
The BBC once put up an online thingy for testing your weight. You put in your height, weight, age and waist measurement, and they told you where you could find others like yourself. I got told that the only country where average people look anything like me was Ethiopia!
But today, I put on a pair of skinny jeans that I haven't worn for a while and they were too tight. I ran into the bathroom and stood on the scales (which is a thing I almost never do) and they said 8st 6lb, which is similar to what I used to weigh in my prime. So I am pleased.
I spent the morning moving the buttons on those jeans so that I can do them up. It seems there are some benefits to lockdown.
