since you've definitely flattened up nicely do your frat bros suspect anything? What are their reactions to you getting fatter?
They've accurately and appropriately begun suspecting that I've been stuffing my face with food and drinking a ton on weekends.
As for reactions I've gotten a bunch of comments from the brothers over the past few weeks, mostly from the July 4th party we had, that summarize as "beer belly is coming in strong, good work", mostly brought on by seeing me shirtless, after a good burp, or just absentmindedly rubbing my gut.
My best friend has really leaned into the teasing though. One of the best things he said was also at the party, "You just really have a knack for shoveling food into your mouth, huh?", with a devilish grin before giving my gut a pat and handing me a plate of food I asked him to pick up for me. We also had a hug before he left and he stuck his finger all the way in my belly button after and said "Just taking a measurement so I can tell how much bigger you are when I see you in a month, since I know your big ass isn't gonna give up beer or taco bell anytime soon".
Oh how right he is. We talk everyday about what we had to eat since he's a big back in training himself, but god it's felt good to get some recognition for my progress.
