That’s amazing! I can only dream of that kind of gluttony. I’m half your weight and maybe managed 15k over the course of three days. Saturday and Sunday I was barely hungry but still tried to eat “normally” so I wouldn’t lose much progress. I can’t weight myself but clothes that fit comfortably two weeks ago are much tighter.
Thank you for sharing!
BigBallBellyGirl:
It sounds like you're making good progress! Clothes are an excellent indicator of how much you're gaining and how your weight is distributing.
I can say, even though I took a break for a couple of days after Thanksgiving was said and done, my giant stuffings stretched my stomach even more. I packed away about 20,000 calories yesterday without ever feeling uncomfortably stuffed. I'm going to have to be careful to begin tapering off when I get within 10 lb of my upper limit, which is 500. If I don't adjust, I can easily see scenario in which I kept blowing up and ended up with some unintended consequences.
Munchies:
I'd start tapering off around 30 to 20 pounds at the bare minimum. If you wait until you are within 10 pounds, you'll overshoot your upper limit.
Yes, I Definitely am very very mindful of the limitations I'm about to feel. I'm almost pinned behind the steering wheel in my car now, and if I moved my seat any further back, I would need pedal extenders. But the real problem is that I can barely get out of it. The 500 upper limit is a firm one. I definitely won't be doing anything like I did at Thanksgiving over the Christmas holiday. It was one of the hottest experiences of my life, and I have no regrets, but I also had two days of nausea, other digestive issues, sweating, and near immobility. I don't really think my body could handle it again.
