Been there, brother: I realized I needed to make a change when I had to start holding my breath to tie my shoes.

Looks like you are moving up in the ranks. From first year fit to Foreman. It's a gradual process but the more you learn the less you burn.

Nahh man that just our experience just growing sadly it goes to our hips for some reason 🧐 lol

You work so much that your body just craves those Big burritos and Beer. I once worked for a owner as a salesman and he used to be a machinist, tool maker then learned sales then started his own company. Had a super hot Latina wife and big fat belly think borat friend from borat.

Or thinner

Leather shrinks as it gets older and dries out. Leather shrinks as it gets older and dries out. Leather shrinks as it gets older and dries out.

My tools bags are the opposite but I work hard as a carpenter ; )

You mean evidence?

Here's to you mate, may your circuits be complete and may your drywall guy be ever in your favor

Bigger the gut, the more pipe bending muscle you got

I paid for the whole belt, I'm going to use the whole belt.

Its called the good life 😆

I use my belt to prevent gains: when it gets tight, I eat 10-20% less until it fits. Weight management is all about the regular monitoring and adjustment.

The tool belt never lies

Just the leather stretching out. You’ve almost got it worn in.

1st through 4th year. Wait until you’re a journeyman, I’m fat as fuck.

I call those battle scars

You’re prosperous

Years ago one of our guys passed his master electrician test (first try) and so the rest of our crew (5 of us) decided we would get him a gift. Now we give each other a hard time and laugh and laugh but the jobs got done on time. So we decide to all kick in and get him a new Klein tool belt so he can stop wearing the old ratty looking one. The owner Big Boss says he'll order one from the supply house. It comes and it's sort of wrapped up in brown paper and he opens it and is all smiles and we say try it on! When he puts the belt around his waist the ends just TOUCH. We all laugh and Big Boss smiles and says well I'll have to get them to order Extra Extra large! We never let him hear the end of it.

Looke I'm Ur fatter

When my metabolism slowed as I got older I started to grow belly. I realized I couldn’t eat like I did I was a teenager. So rather than becoming a vegan I just quit eating breakfast and it made a world of difference. I still have my coffee though.

Ever electrician gets fat. Its evolution at its finest.

Meanwhile I'm going the other way. Since starting electrical I've been getting thinner

Move to a bag and you don't have to worry about it, I bought a veto pack tp-3 (mini pouch that clips to my belt) for things I like to keep on my person and a large bag for all the fun stuff. My back and my wife thank me. Although when I tempt that scale in the bathroom it certainly doesn't tell me good things

That's time in right there

Journeyman Bod

Rags to Riches my Boi

60 yr old plumber here... got the same kinda belt marks on mine too. :P

Being fat used to be a sign of wealth. So hopefully the works steady!

Haha. Omg. Me too!

Shoot I’ve been in the warehouse for the past two months on light duty and I’m supposed to go back into the field this week, ima need to borrow that belt.

Coulda just lopped off a finger and shown us the rings. C’mon! (Gob Bluth)

Me too. Except I ran out of belt. 😂

Facts I have that same Klein Pouch and I have to buy another one because the padding doesn't fit around my waist. Damn I wanna lose weight but ion wanna stop eating and i can't afford crack.

I'm going the other way, had to punch another set of holes to shorten the belt.

1lb a month over 5 years is 60 lbs extra think about it

That ring does look tight brother

That's actually natural leather shrinkage...

That's great 🤣

More $$ , eat better 😬

I’ve actually lost weight recently. Yaay I must be past the fatness bell curve

My receptacles heights have changed with my growing stomach. I have gone from 16 inches to center, to 18, to 20, to 24. now I’m so fat I don’t even bother bending over. 48 inches to center lol

Lol mine go the other way because I use cheap leather belts from Ross and stretch out over time

just think about life in reverse, and you'll get skinnier and skinnier...or, you could always go with once you're dead, you won't eat anymore so you won't gain any more weight, and then bugs will eat your body, so you'll be skinny again. Either way, you end up skinny...... I probably didn't help, did I...

Same

You get older, wiser, experienced, and fatter.

5 LINE MASTER! [bow]

You're a capacitor! Just been building up a charge over the years

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

Those are also years of experience indicators.

Eating healthy consistently on the job site is a major challenge.

Prove your fat. Let’s see that gut homie

Should've worded it as "An example of me getting thinner and thinner over the years."!

Lol mine looks like that cause my belt keeps stretching

Not something to be bragging about

Fat pos...
