I’ve been gaining for about a month and a half now and have put on about 15 pounds. It’s been pretty slow most of the time, because of my low capacity, but this week I’m speeding things up: I decided to force myself to eat a minimum of enough food to average at 3000 calories a day. Since I don’t have much time every day I’ve achieved this by eating more on days when I have a lot of free time, so that my weekly average stays up even after a day of eating less. One day I ate 4252 calories! My current average is 3271 a day and I have gained 3 pounds since Sunday, from 125 to 128. It’s actually a bigger gain than I was expecting, I thought I’d gain only about 3 pounds all week. I’m not about to slow down now, though, I can’t wait to see how much I will have gained by the end of the week. I’m already starting to feel my clothes get tighter, and my belly is starting to get bigger a little jiggly, even though I’m still pretty thin! I didn’t expect it to get jiggly so soon but I’m very happy it has. I can feel it jiggle slightly when I walk and it pokes out of the bottom of some of my smaller shirts just a tiny bit.
If anyone has tips for making the gain go even faster or increasing stomach capacity I’d love to hear but mainly I just want to share what I’ve accomplished so far.
If I can sustain this amount of eating for longer than one week without getting sick then I might do another week after this week is over! If I do I want to increase my goal average to 3500, maybe push the goal up by 500 daily calories every week until I burn out, and then try to maintain until I feel up to stuffing again.
