Lifestyle tips

This is more about fashion and body image than it is about the kink/fetish but the only place I can ask is here:

I’ve noticed when I gain a pound or two rather quickly the fat does some weird stuff before it settles into place. I definitely enjoy the process. (The description of which could take more time than I have rn).

Anyone who is gaining on purpose likes to show off gains, at least to themselves, if not to the world. But I get *really* asymmetrical before the fat levels out. Like there’s a day or two where I look like Lumpy Space Princess until the fat finds its home. It’s not just my belly either. As humans we crave symmetry so it makes me feel less than gorgeous when the symmetry disappears (however temporarily) exactly when I’m feeling so big and sexy and want to ‘show off’.

My question is threefold fold:
1. Does anyone else experience this? (Normalization)
2. If you do, how do you let it not discourage you from gaining? (Body image)
3. How do you accentuate your new ‘curves’ while making peace with the ‘lumps’? (Fashion)

Thanks for the advice in advance? I don’t want to quit gaining but I want to enjoy ALL the parts of it. 🤗

I have an image in my head how I'd like my body to look, but as I've grown its not always been how I imagined. I struggled to accept this at first, especially the changes to my face, but as I've gone further in, I've learnt to love however my body changes. I even kinda love that asymmetry you talk about. It's kinda knowing that my body is struggling to cope with all the weight I'm putting on. Like, I've found new ways to enjoy the changes. Clothes have been a challenge. I used to be able to wear anything, but now many things in my size aren't the right shape. Sleeves too narrow, too tight and loose in the wrong places. I actually wear dresses more now as they are more flattering.

You are so right. Loving everything about the gaining journey is a journey in itself. Thank you for your post!
