This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Funny thing is, it can be hard to know you are. What you see everyday is just 'normal' rather than over or underweight. I'm 6' + and at one point scraped near 300, but didn't notice anything off until I got to needing a 40" waist for jeans and noticing being a bit tired going over a small hill to the office. Self perception is sneaky like that. Never was the giant size that some get to, but even then I might expect similar 'this is normal' might apply.

6' are rougly 183 cm

300 are 136 kg? 150 kg? I am not sure which unit that is

40" is probably 101.6 cm if I am correct and this is inches

Beep boop I am a human

Seems on point, forgot a conversion to stone.

300 lbs = 21.42857 stone
