Gaining

I hit a Cicis on a business trip years ago. I had to unbutton my pants just to drive back to the hotel.

I have the same problem.

that is a pretty hot fantasy I like to think. I'd just wanna go on a long cruise not one if those 3 day ones but more like 14 days in the Caribbean hopping from island to island and make sure to make the most out of it and try out every single restaurant on the ship. Starting the days with a huge breakfast going back to the buffet multiple times and just keep stuffing that food in. Continuing with lunch and of course dinner and repeat daily. I am so curious how much weight I would be able to pile on.

I've been wanting to go to a buffet and push my limits but have always been afraid of going alone

I remember Hometown Buffet in Staten Island and Old Country Buffet in Levittown, though I think Hometown is still there...not sure about Old Country Buffet. Perkins in East Harlem served big sized portions but closed its doors a few years ago (thinking West side of 125th would have been better, but oh well).

I also remember a Chinese Buffet in The Bronx that closed years back, gf & I went before closing for that night. The staff literally encouraged us to keep going knowing it was less food for them to throw out. The in itself rice was so good.

Feels like another era now but sweet memory nonetheless. It was peaceful, they didn't rush us. We were both wobbling out literally, no shame or guilt within ear/eyesight. I do miss it at times seeing other fatties and just feel peace. Between bitterness on others faces, girl bosses dancing on tables for clout...easier to just be indoors.
