Mesa here although I'm in Alaska for couple more months.

I don't think it's weird. I've had that desire/wish too. Seems like a natural desire to want to see that portrayed in a game. Since many games have slender Caucasian characters, sometimes I wonder if other ethnicities feel left out or would enjoy seeing their demographic represented, just like I'd like to see fat people or weight gain represented.

I've learned numerous times over life that things can ALWAYS change if the right events happen. I've seen best friends become bitter enemies and bitter enemies become best friends. I've had people that I thought would be in my life forever, drift away despite my efforts to maintain it. I know girls that are happily married to guy they originally couldn't stand LOL. I've seen people change political affiliations and other things that at one point would not have even been imaginable. I find it quite fascinating how people can do a 180 over time, if conditions are right.

Sounds like she likes you. Maybe ask her out or at least see if you can do lunch together or something. Challenge her to a food baby contest, see who can get the biggest food baby.... ooooh, next time you have a nice food baby going and she pokes it you could turn aways playfully and tell her to get her own food baby, this one is mine.... or.... make some comment about her being jealous cuz she can't make one that big...

Something that playfully opens the door to escalating it a bit. If she has some kind of belly specific interest, she'll probably take the bait. Maybe not the first time. So give her a few opportunities. It's possible she likes you too and is giving you opportunities to ask her out.

LOL Indeed they do!

My dad is 65yo and 430 pounds, been fat and sedentary his entire life, and doesn’t have diabetes. I’m 350ish, 43yo, been fat since I was 17ish, and don’t have diabetes. My mom and her side of the family does. I’ve done a fair amount of study and reading on how it works and what causes it. I make a deliberate effort to avoid it. I would be happy to help show you how you can gain weight while minimizing the risk of diabetes.

I've had a similar dream - so to speak. Making clothes specifically for larger girls and women, of all ages, including kids. The biggest problem I see in the modeling is the fact that two people of the same larger weight, can have completely different body shapes. Skinny girls are all pretty much the same but the larger one gets, the more unique their body becomes. Take three girls, all 5'4, all weighing 350 and one may be bottom heavy, one top heavy and one pretty even. One could have one big belly, one could have two belly rolls and one could have 3 belly rolls. Not to mention boobs and butts and thighs and arms and every other body part. It's almost like you'd need multiple models but I guess having at least ONE model of the right size would be better than it is now.

Every mother should be so blessed LOL If I had a daughter that married a man who took good care of her, kept her VERY well fed, and she blossomed into a nice, big, fat, but most importantly, VERY HAPPY woman, I'd be a proud Daddy.

Yep. My mom gained over 100 in a year without trying. She wasn't happy about it either LOL No pregnancy involved either.

Interesting experience. Very sad for her what the other guy did but good for you in doing what you did. She will remember you forever!
