Planet to gas giant I saw my former f(l)atmate at a party last weekend and HOLY SHIT you guys. We've lived apart since summer and she must have gained a good 60lbs over that time and looks monstrous. When we shared a flat she was huge, 270lbs at 5'7 but now she's so big my eyes get confused when I look at her. It's like trying to read a book with your eyes pressed against it - everything is too big. She must have hit 300 a while ago and just kept on going. Can't believe living with me is what kept her at 270!  Thankfully she's been having problems with her knees and back (surprise surprise) and hasn't been attending the oriental dance class for months because she probably has her own gravitational pull by now.
