Luke Breaking Chairs

I'm definitely noticing the effects of my growth lately, and I had 2 experiences recently I thought I'd share with y'all.

I generally work at the dining room table because it gives me room to set out snacks and is close to the sofa and kitchen. The chair I always sit on was creaking a lot more lately due to my expanding waistline, but I didn't think anything of it. As I sat there working I reached for a muffin and then leaned back to enjoy it. As I did this I heard the legs beneath me begin to crack and then suddenly give way under my increasing bulk. I tried to reach for the table to stand up but the legs cracked outwards and I loudly fell to the floor, my belly jiggling and fat rippling as I hit the floor. Luckily I had enough fat to cushion the impact, but long story short, I'm too fat for my dining room chairs now. 🐷

A couple weeks before this I was at the gym and had a similar experience. I was using a metal folding chair to sit on between my squat sets and was noticing I was leaving a bit of a dent in the seat due to my weight. I once again thought nothing of it, no one would notice that I had left a butt shaped dent in the chair. But of course as I was sitting there between sets, huffing and puffing from trying to squat a lot of weight in addition to my growing bulk, I leaned back to take some pressure off my lower back and felt the chair begin to contort. The metal seat began folding in half, the legs began to buckle, and then a screw flew out across the floor. It was already too late for me to try to stand up as the entire chair buckled under my weight. I knew I was probably over the weight limit for this chair but I didn't expect that to happen. After falling to the floor there was nothing around to help me up, so after struggling to get up for a minute I had to lay there and rest for a bit before crawling over to the squat rack to use as a support to stand up. Now I can only sit on the benches at the gym, can't use chairs anymore. 🏋️‍♂️🐷🍩
