Comfort years

A period of time, usually around 5 years when someone around the age of 30-45 (usually a man) gains weight, doesn’t exercise very much and enjoys wine, beer and good food. Comfort years are often followed by a ‘get fit’ regime and weight loss. Someone in their comfort years usually has a belly.

‘Wow, you’re really getting a beer belly on you. Maybe you should try some exercise!’
‘Just enjoying my comfort years! I’ll lose the weight in a few years...’
