Gaining

Former athlete ready to plump up

Oceanseyes:
I’ve been lurking and reading stories on FF for years (as you can tell by how long this account’s been active.)

I always wanted to give in and gain weight, but was a triple sport athlete. Though, after unknowingly gaining 40 pounds since dropping team sports/cardio in less than a year — I think I’m ready to let go.

Do you have any advice/encouragement/stuffing ideas for this new (potential) feedee?


Go slow. You are used to being fit. If you go too hard, too fat, you won't have time to mentally adjust.

Don't give up exercise, but don't push yourself. Don't stuff yourself every day, but don't deny yourself anything either.

Just let things happen. Embrace the hedonism.

I guess I should probably get used to the mental aspect of gaining — I think with how fast these first pounds packed on, I’m just pushing for more!

Thank you!


All in good time, hun.

You are very welcome.

I agree with Munchies, but also as a comment, be ready to also replace what you consider normal sized portions, and you'll blimp. I never realized what I was doing to myself until I was eating a pizza for lunch and another for dinner everyday at work. I went from a decently trim fella to "The Fat Guy" at work in...9 months? Ever since I've been on here kinda lurking so I get that aspect of it too! Good luck!
