I’m waiting for my belly to grow so that it hangs over my belt! Lol

Yes, I can.

I’m 5’6” and 215 now, I was 245 but I unintentionally lost (just more activity and eating less). I’d like to get back up to 245, and eventually my original goal of 260-270. Gaining 45-55 lbs seems daunting but damn I want to get fat.

No point to this, really, just sharing.

Not working and not having access anymore to the cafeteria at work, and not stopping for my morning rolls, donuts, cookies at the convenience store has slowed my gaining to almost a standstill.

In the cafeteria I’d have a breakfast sandwich of buttered bagel, eggs, and cheese maybe with a side of bacon and or sausage. I usually brought my own lunch which was some kind of leftovers. Late afternoon I’d get pie or cake, cookies or all of them.

I don’t eat like that anymore, being currently retired. To try to makeup for it I make Fatboy shakes with whole milk, light or heavy cream, a bottle of Boost, peanut butter, bananas, ice cream if I have it, Nutella. I add cookies and blend the shit out of it. I have coffee with my cream and sugar. Lol I use a lot more butter and frozen meals... Hungry Man, Stouffers or Banquet Megabowls, etc. One Hungry Man dinner I get has 740 calories.

I’m 215 lbs trying to get back to 245. My goal was 260-270. I wore size 44 pants, goal was 46-48 but now 42. I’m looking forward to my belly hanging over my waistband.

So yeah, I’m trying.

Being gay I can’t really speak for the straight guys but maybe we feel sexier, more masculine being fat.

I hated being fat all my life. I dieted and exercised and stressed over it. My weight and attitude yo-yo’d. I was attracted to fat guys for the longest time and realized that there’s too many good looking fat guys around for there to be anything wrong with it. I also realized I was never going to get a bodybuilder’s or athlete’s physique, nor did I really want to work out that hard anymore. I like being fat because I have some size and feel more confident. I like what I see in the mirror.

1. I found two pairs of 44 waist shorts that fit... loose but they fit. I usually wear 40 in shorts and 42 in long pants, both getting snug.
2. Button down shirts in 17 (XL) are getting snug in the belly, and weren’t last year.
3. Eating anything that can’t run away or defend itself.

I know musicians who are fat. Back in the day Randy Bachman (BTO, Bachman Turner Overdrive) was a chunker and rocked a nice beer belly.

About 4 years this time around. I first joined around 2015 when I started deliberately getting fat. But I had second thoughts, deciding being fat “wasn’t for me”. Yeah ok. Lol I deleted my profile but I re-upped I guess around 2017. Still I wasn’t that active until recently. Now I’m hellbent for leather on getting a lot fatter.

Two incidents embarrassed me because they were in front of other people. One was kind of funny.

The funny one was with my father. I was about 25-26 years old and had my own apartment. I stopped at my parents house dressed for work, jacket, tie, etc. I was standing by the kitchen sink when my father said “you’re getting a little portly”. I actually thought it was funny and said yeah I know. Lol

The two other times really pissed me off. At a family party my aunt blurted out in front of others “uh, you got kind of tubby”. I just mumbled something like yeah well and shrugged. She actually did it again another time. Pissed me off again.

Yet another time I ran into a coworker I hadn’t seen in some years. In the middle of a sentence, again in front of others, he stopped himself and said “you got chubby”.

Because I was defensive back then about my weight it took me a long time to realize and accept they were just ignorant. Now, should someone pull a stunt like that I say almost proudly “why yes, yes I have”. 😄
