General

I noticed as I've been trying to slow down a little that i have developed several habits that really enabled my gaining, that is making it really hard to slow down! What are some of y'alls fattening/fat-enabling habits? I'll start:

1.) Doubling up on meals - when I was actively gaining I started earing breakfast at home, then going through the drive-thru before work, eating my packed lunch throughout my workday, getting takeout during my break, going to the drive-thru on my way home from work, then having dinner at home.

2.) Never going anywhere without planned places to stop and eat (even picking up tape or pens on my way home, I'll plan for a food stop)

3.) Driving everywhere (even if it's just across the street, or a few shops down in the strip mall, I'll drive instead of walk!)

Two daily desserts

I also love having dessert after both lunch and dinner! Some of my other fat habits are having multiple sugary drinks a day and having leftovers (big enough portions for whole meals) as “snacks”

When I was actively gaining, I'd always, always eat before going out to dinner, and particularly if going to dinner at someone's home. That didn't preclude a fast food stop on the way home either.

My non-food-related fat habits include choosing outings based on seating, looking extensively at photos of the interior of restaurants to make sure chairs look sturdy enough before committing to go, and shaking chairs to make sure they're sturdy before deciding to transfer from my scooter.

Oh yes… almost always have two desserts daily…. Also have loved that my husband has surprised me often in the last couple of years with a second dessert to take home after dining out. Usually eaten on the way home…

Eating when bored is my biggest weakness. Nothing to do? Go to a restaurant, get fast food, go to grocery and load up on snacks, etc.

I am going to have to start ordering a desert for home for my wife after she has one at dinner. If o try this during a lunch out she might think I am really trying to fatten her up. She is more for the subtly encouragement not trying to hard or seemingly forcing another desert. She likes to do it on her own a lot, but I really love when she openly overdoes it in front of me teasing me with it.

It’s so hot that yall have this type of relationship

Well, she can always be way more into it as far as I’m concerned. She has a big sweet tooth a sometimes sacrifices entrees and appetizers to make sure she has enough room for her deserts. It is especially fun when she starts eating bigger portions and appetizers and she always still has room for deserts, and this is when she starts gaining and kind of teases me with her extra fatness and size she has accumulated.

I just drink a cup of half and half then don't move all day 🤗
Sooooo much belly this way!
