Random question, does anyone enjoy aging ?

Like maybe you enjoy the wrinkles, age spots, grey hair, or another part of aging ?

Between July last year and July this year, I gained 72lbs. When I started this gain, I wanted to get fat again, but I wanted to do it slowly. Well that went out the window. The rapid gain was amazing. I love getting fat fast.

However, I started feeling not so good so I stopped. I've lost about 25lbs since then and feel much better...but I still have the itch.

I think I'm in a much better place to try gaining again. This time I would like to take a smarter approach. I love being fat and want to be fatter.

My plan is to eat more, but not recklessly and no fast food. Wendy's and McD's (among others) are my kryptonite.

I hope I can do this. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. I've looked at other threads and have some ideas.

Crock pots

Chuck in the ingredients and go about your day. Come dinner time you have a big meal waiting for you.

The appeal of fast food is in it's low effort. If you make a bunch of low effort foods, you can eat that instead of fast food.

Friends--

I hope no one takes this as me mistaking this forum for the airport, where departures are announced publicly. I also hope no one feels this is my attempt to chastise, dissuade, or judge anyone else. Couldn't be further from opposite.

I was taken to the hospital this morning with chest pain and inability to breathe. I'm having surgery at some point either tonight or in the morning to remove some blockages. I also have liver dysfunction. I'm not a drinker; in my case, it's related to excess fat consumption..

I have zero regrets about my gaining journey, and I'm actually very happy with my physical appearance. However, I'm not 30 yet, and I'm getting married this year. I'm going to have to reassess because I actually want to see my wedding and make it beyond that to see what the rest of my life holds. I really hope that includes a way to continue to indulge this fetish in a mindful manner. And likely, as I have been for well over a decade, I will still be lurking. 😊💜

I'm genuinely only posting because I've talked with so many people here, and I've enjoyed our exchanges and time together, but I don't even know your first names! I wanted you to know I think you all are beautiful people, and I wish you the most enjoyment life has to offer. I'm not closing my account, but I'll probably be semi-silent for a while.

Hugs, positive energy, and warm wishes to each and everyone of you!

In bed with my partner this morning, I realized that when we lie face to face the first thing that touches is our bellies. I didn’t point that out to him because idk what his response would be but I thought it was really sexy

NoMoYoYo:

I don't know 100%, but I think that because my belly has expanded a lot, it's pulling my torso down and out of alignment and causing of my sore back.

Has anybody used a wedge pillow for this reason? Should I get one? It would probably be more comfortable than pants.

Razz:
I started to have a very similar thing to this. Lifelong side sleeper, went from thin to big belly such that now I kind of half-roll forward while I sleep because of the weight, and it throws my back out of alignment.

What's helped a bit was actually a knee pillow, goes in between your legs. Somewhat concave on both sides, has a strap to attach to one leg. It kind of forces me to not let my top leg roll forward. Some nights it still doesn't help, but the pain has gone down a lot overall.

Morbidly A Beast:
I sleep with my belly stretching towards the heavens sorry yall can’t sleep like that or have a tough time falling asleep I’m out the second I touch the pillow most of the time

Munchies:
I can't sleep on my back because I suffer from post-nasal drip. If I try, I'll choke.

That said, I generally don't struggle to go to sleep. I have a bedtime routine that varies depending on the day's events. If I do the thing, I'm asleep within minutes.
