I’ve put on 40 lbs in a year and changed my silhouette

Hey so over the past year have pretty much let myself go and started eating whatever I wanted. What started as a few pounds turned into 40 and there has been some massive changes. Like I used to be able to hide my WG and not have a belly but now it hangs firmly over the waistband to the point where I have some serious stretch marks forming. Not to mention my thighs and ass have outgrew all of my shorts this summer. Tbh I’ve started the summer at 218 and ballooned up to 240 rn and it’s been really crazy to watch as I defeated my wardrobe from both ends. My belly is so prominent now and I’ve gotten multiple comments about how much weight I’ve gained but I kinda like getting fatter, I just have to buy all new clothes now since I just moved from XLs getting snug to Xxls and now I’m starting to question if there’s no going back. Also I went from a 34-38 and my belly is still firmly hanging still I really have gotten so fat lol
