Tell me your embarrassing fat moments

A couple of years ago, I had a rapid gain and had not upsized my clothing, so my belly was exposed more often than not (much like now). I have a separate camera for work calls, and it's usually framed to catch me from the shoulders up. However, I didn't realize that my laptop had somehow disconnected from the external camera and reverted the device camera during a zoom. The top of my bare gut was bulging out for 4 coworkers to see (partially). No one said a word, but if anyone was suspecting at that point I was gaining weight, that was clear evidence!

I used to think I wouldn't be sure how to hit that goal unless I basically duplicated everything, but my current gaining sprint has showed me otherwise. Today, as of 5pm ET, I've already hit 25K calories, and I plan to keep going. I've had:

16 pancakes with a tub of butter and maple syrup - ~ 2,300 calories
8 turkey sausage patties - 880 calories
Container of strawberries -150 calories
16 oz. Jar of peanut butter - 2,700 calories
4 large glasses of chocolate milk - 600 calories
8 chocolate chip cookies - 1,200 calories
2 cans of Mt. Dew - 360 calories
40 oz. Microwave Lasagna - 2,600 calories
3 pints of fried rice - 1,800 calories
24oz. crispy orange chicken - 2,150 calories
1 dozen cream cheese wontons - 1,440 calories
Large Dr. Pepper - 380 calories
1.5 quarts of sugar free vanilla ice cream - 1,170 calories
2 Sour Monkey beers - 570 calories
1 family size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos - 2,250
2 liters of Sprite - 800 calories
8 cheese-stuffed breadsticks - 1,200 calories
Raisin Cane's chicken tenders box combo + sauce - 1,500 calories
2 large McDonalds milkshakes - 1,700 calories
1 bag of Gouda cheese cubes - 820 calories
2 cans of Dr. Pepper - 400 calories

I got very sleepy and my belly button was hurting, so I took a 2-hour nap, and my hubby gave me a belly massage. Now, I'm ready to go again! Two stuffed crust pizzas are in the oven.

I said all that to say, I could easily see exceeding my record in the near future. I just need to do it when I'm prepared to be basically immobile for a couple of days!

What experiments do you do with your belly ?

I haven't done this in a while, but when I was gaining from 400 to 500, I would tie a long piece of elastic around my belly. It would stretch as I stuffed, eventually becoming a taught string with no more capacity to stretch. I popped elastic twice, but typically, my husband would have to cut it off.

I also use eyeliner to draw two dots on my belly. As a grew bigger and bigger from stuffing, my husband would measure the distance between the dots. I once got so bloated, the distance grew from 1 inch to 6.5 inches. I acquired new stretch marks from that growth as well.

I've always wondered about the accuracy of so-called calorie absorption caps. As someone who has a lifetime of experience gaining, stuffing, and overeating, I've frequently consumed more than the body is supposedly able to metabolize. As an example, I consumed 90,000 calories over two days during the 2023 Thanksgiving holiday. My weight temporarily increased by 29 pounds. Based on the maximum amount of calories a body is theoretically able to store as fat, I should have settled around a 9 pound gain after digestion and loss of water weight. I didn't. 19 pounds stuck... not to mention, I stretched my stomach (I believe permanently) and set off a massive holiday weight gain over the next few weeks.

Nitchbigger:
How massive of a weight gain for the rest of the holidays was it? I could only imagine if it started with 19lbs in 2 days. It's hard for most to do that in a whole month!

BigBallBellyGirl:
I conveniently keep a weight spreadsheet (have for years). That season I gained 72 pounds between November 1 and New Years! Of course, I'm even fatter now, but I've never quite matched that calorie intake.

FoodIsTheKeyToTheHeart:
That’s really impressive. What did you use to get that calorie intake that you had? (Like the 90 000 calories in 2 days).

BigBallBellyGirl:
I documented the whole thing here in a thread from November 2023 called "Thanksgiving". It was just an excess of holiday food,.. 9x13 pans, multiple servings, loads of desert. I stuffed myself at multiple family meals on Thursday, and Friday, I consumed most of a meal for six by myself. I was practically immobile for a day, and my belly was bloated and tight for almost a week. That feast set off a big gaining sprint, and I'm honestly not sure if my appetite ever fully reset for normal portions. I'm much heavier now than I was then. I often fantasize about whether i could outdo my record.

FoodIsTheKeyToTheHeart:
That's super impressive. Hope you could make it one day and beat your record.

BigBallBellyGirl:
I think I likely could! Yesterday, I ate well over 20,000 calories, and while I was bloated and a little short of breath, I still felt like I could have handled more. I actually woke up quite hungry this morning as well. I may push my limits this weekend and test just how big my capacity is. Of course, I'm also gaining like crazy. I've put on 80 pounds since January 30th, pushed my belly button into a large, protruding outie, split the seams of a dress, sized back up into my "fattest" clothes, and added so much weight to my belly I can no longer bend over to reach things in lower cabinets.

Kunto:
Someone is going to enter the 700's soon đŸ˜‰

BigBallBellyGirl:
I'm just going to continue stuffing until I feel like the mobility tradeoff is too high. I'd also like to achieve one more super massive stuffing, which for me was a 60,000 calorie day the Friday after Thanksgiving 2023. Of course, that set off a massive holiday weight gain, but I'm already putting on 10+ pounds a week now anyway.

Go take on the Zeus while you have the capacity!


I definitely think I could handle this! I've definitely consumed more than 20 pounds of food in a day, many times. I'd just need to pick up my pace if I wanted to meet their time limit, because while I'm most definitely gluttonous, I'm actually quite committed to etiquette in public. (When I sit in the kitchen in my bariatric rolling chair, stuffing my face with my belly exposed is another scenario altogether, of course... )

When you've reached your goal, what do you hope people think when they see you?

I love the idea of being the fattest person and having the largest belly most people will see in real life. My abdomen is disproportionately big and has also retained a surprisingly round, tight shape for a person at my weight. One friend, a nurse, was actually concerned I might be retaining fluid in my belly because of its hardness. That is in fact not the case; according to both my GP and cardiologist, I'm just full of visceral fat. I like making people wonder why on earth my gut is so big though!

The beginning of the end of an era?

I definitely share your concerns about what GLPs mean in the long run. At the same time, they're a non-issue in my life and, I suspect, many others. I've always been the outlier. I was a chubby kid, an obese teenager, and I'm a super-sized adult. I suppose I've always had options -- diet, exercise, surgery -- but I'm not interested. The availability of options won't make all big people disappear.
