I imagine its equal parts scary and exhilarating knowing that even if you just stick to a few thousand calories a day you will continue to gain and there's truly no going back now. Hopefully your skin is healing quickly as I imagine you're wanting to get back to eating and eventually feeling full
I've never felt this hungry. Last night, I had eight pizzas in my Doordash cart, but I stopped right before placing the order. When I stuff so frequently, it seems to shut off my fullness signal entirely, and I don't feel satisfied until I'm so engorged my stomach could explode, and I can't breathe.

Even if you've been sticking to maintenance calories, the amount needed to maintain your current weight is still almost enough to gain 2 pounds if you're sedentary enough. I recall something similar happening to you a while back where even though you weren't stuffing or trying to gain your body took any calories and stored them as fat
Yes, and that was also after an intense period of gaining. I put on about 35 pounds that time with no effort at all. I've always gained weight quickly and easily, and maintaining has gotten harder as I've gotten fatter. I can't decide if that's scary or a greater incentive to stuff my gut to its limit.

It's been very hard holding back my calorie intake today, but I only ate about 5,700 calories. Putting myself to bed before I order anything!
ExGymBunny:
That must have taken so much willpower! How’s today been?
I stuck to maintenance calories yesterday as well, and it was very difficult. I was constantly hungry, so I drank lots of water, zero sugar cranberry juice, and Diet Sprite to stay full, and I snacked on celery and carrots. It doesn't always work, but it's a momentary distraction.
I'm still growing though, as all those calories settle. My hubby noticed new belly stretch marks last night, and skin on my tummy is extra sensitive to the touch.
We had to re-engineer my work from home setup so I can reach everything I need. I wonder if the people I see on virtual meetings can tell I've basically become a human balloon in the past few weeks.

I know it will be significantly less standing, but the world record waistline was 120 inches. If I get fatter... could I break that record??? A girl can dream!
ExGymBunny:
I don’t think that’s a dream, that’s your future! Also, you’re also getting close to your belly measuring twice your height! 🤯😁
BigBallBellyGirl:
It got VERY big when I stuffed 70,000 calories and then kept bloating tighter throughout the night. I could tell because my sides puffed out more and more, and my gut pushed my boobs to the side. My thighs have bruises on them from the weight of my belly. At one point, I actually said, "I hope I don't keep swelling," and I NEVER say that!
Kunto:
It sounds that keeping you strict on 5k-6k calories per day is a bigger challenge that keep on stuffing that enormous almost record holding gut 😅
Oh, I'm hungry! I've had two bowls of oatmeal and 2 cheese biscuits for breakfast;, a chicken Philly cheesesteak, fries, and a salad for lunch; and an Ensure shake and a green apple. I could eat the wall right now, but I'm drinking water to help me feel more full.

People in my age range might can appreciate a Delta Burke reference. She was on Designing Women in the ‘80s and on a football-centered series on HBO called “1st and 10.” I remember the tabloids gave her hell when she got plump by Hollywood standards. Looking back on it, she simply got more beautiful!
Edddde:
Yes
Delta Burke was and is gorgeous. I was born in 1994, but I learned the frenzy over her weight was quite the tabloid fodder at the time. When I look back at pictures of her at her heaviest, she's far from super-sized. And absolutely beautiful.

Then, they made an announcement that there was food leftover if anyone wanted more.
7: “Wolf… Leftovers… Do you want this clean plate?”
Me: “Yes.”
Got another piece of chicken, potatoes, green beans and a roll.

Very well done! How does that belly feel?

Hopefully your rest day is going well you've definitely earned it
Thank you! I'm more than 760 now. I'm going to give my body a rest and let my skin catch up (a couple of stretch marks on my lower belly split open), then I'll pick it back up.
We measured my sitting belly at its biggest point sitting using yarn and a retractable measuring tape, since I'm too big for seamstress tapes. It's a little over 130 inches. I know it will be significantly less standing, but the world record waistline was 120 inches. If I get fatter... could I break that record??? A girl can dream!

Updating my response... The fattest thing I've ever done was stuffing myself so much, so often, I've gained 200 pounds this year, outgrew my clothes to such an extent I had to wrap myself in a King bedsheet while waiting for new stuff to arrive, and split a couple of stretch marks on my big belly.
It's wild to think I'm only 5'3". At my height, 200 pounds is considered obese. I've gained a whole obese person!
