Why I’m Starting Heavy Threads: My Journey with Wegovy, Weight, Queerness and Fashion

Hey I'm Ketan and I've been big my entire adult life and spent years being uncomfortable in my own skin, navigating life as a heavier guy in the gay community and trying to balance body image issues, weight loss and just trying to affirm myself in a world that rarely affirms me or people that look like me.

This blog is going to be a tool for me to track my progress, not just physically but also mentally, as well as a place I can share things that have worked for me in terms of weight loss and fashion, as well as a place to vent my frustrations. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn into me just shouting at clouds all the time.

I'm also hoping I find other people on a wegovy journey so that we can trade stories and see what's worked and what hasn't.

Part of being a heavier guy is finding clothes that you can feel good in. It's always a struggle so I'll be listing things that have worked for me.

I also want to talk about the frustrations, long term and daily when it comes to being a bigger person in a world not designed for us.

This is also an excuse for me to write more as it's something I've been wanting to do regularly for a while.
