Gaining

alelectro:
There's been discussion about a "point of no return" in gaining, but in thinking about my girl, it dawned on me that there's *at least* three.

1. Physical point of no return
When exercise potential has been diminished by being so out of shape that any calories burned are overwhelmed by increased hunger from multiplying fat cells.
She reached this one first and it wasn't something obvious until viewed in hindsight. She'd have second thoughts about gaining and would go on a diet or start running only to binge sometime later and regain even more. Over time, these second thoughts became farther apart and the time to regaining became sooner.

2. Lifestyle point of no return
At this point, she started living more like a big girl. She'd make excuses like "I'm too fat for that" to avoid going upstairs. She avoided a job that would have required standing all day.
But she still had inhibitions. She'd check labels for calories. She'd avoid the cream at Starbucks. She'd talk about going to the gym, even if she never did. She'd turn down food you could tell she wanted, because "she just ate".

3. Mental point of no return
This is more recent, and only now would I say that she's a true fatty.
She eats with abandon now. She'll grab a second dessert because "ooh, that looks good". She *thinks* like a fatty now. She'll gorge and then take a nap because of all the carbs. She accommodates her fat with loose clothing and A/C rather than apologizing for it or trying to ignore it. Potential weight loss isn't even a passing remark anymore.

There's two interesting things about level 3:
- Now I feel like she's truly experiencing the liberation of being a feedee. No more second thoughts, no more guilt. She just does as she pleases.
- My goodness it's hard to not gain with her. She prefers muscular guys which is why I'm not already huge, but she's constantly offering food now because she snacks so often. Plus tricks that worked at level 1 like splitting a dessert, but letting her eat most of it, don't work anymore when she's ordering two desserts for herself and wondering why I'm not getting one. So side note: If you're gonna get your girl big, make sure you either have a lot of self control or she's cool with you growing too.
