It was pretty incredible after the first 30 pounds, which is when I first noticed belly growth. I actually passed out (in a food coma) one afternoon and then woke up early in the evening to find that my belly had grown while I was asleep (well, perhaps not literally, but it really seemed that way). I was so excited. I put on a tight shirt and went grocery shopping. Lol. After that, the weight kept piling on. After the first 45 pounds I started to notice how different it was for me to move around. I started to be a little more aware of space so I wouldn't knock things over. I also had a harder time getting up, especially when I was sitting on the floor (which I do a lot). I kept forgetting how much bigger I was, and I strained my wrists a little. Overall, though, it was great. I loved how people looked at me, ha ha. I loved the thought of taking up more space and the thought of being so plump compared to other people. I liked the idea of being well fed and a little greedy. I still do. But I'm taking it very slow this time. I'm not even close to being round just yet, and I don't know if I will get there or not. Either way, I have a feeling my set point is now at 130-140 rather than 110-120 like it was 10 years ago. That being said, I may raise my set point again if I gain 65 lbs (total overall) again this time around. My god, I'd be almost 200 by the end of the year if I did that again. Scary and exciting at the same time. Lol. But I'm taking it day by day.
