I remember loving the scene in The Little Mermaid when Ursula turned back into her octopus form and the wedding dress ripped right off her.

Putting on my tiny bikini and hitting the beach with two or three footlong subs. There would be an area where men and women are lifting weights, doing pushups and pullups, etc., and I'd waddle into the area with all my soft fat on display and I'd sit down and devour all the food while watching them.

Filling out my bikini was one of my primary goals when I began gaining, and now that I'm properly overflowing it, I have nowhere to show off my fat.

Anyone else dying to show off their pandemic pounds and nowhere to do it?

Seeing YouTube videos of people with my ideal body is really helpful for inspiration, but more than that are the stories I read here about people who are determined to get fat no matter what.

I've fattened out of most of my clothes as well. Virtually all my T-shirts are too short for me now and all my button-downs gap at the buttons when I sit down.

I mentioned in another post that growing boobs was/is one of my major goals. I was all belly for a long time, so I knew I had to keep gaining until the rest of me got fat as well. I have a lot of sideboob now and finally I'm just starting to see a little shadow under my boobs that shows they're starting to blossom finally.

I love the thought of filling out bras and having a cup size, of bra shopping like women do.

My advice is get a bikini. Virtually nothing shows off a fat body like a teeny bikini and you'll enjoy that you fill out the top...plus, bikini tops are super comfortable. You might even prefer them to bras, especially since they have a lot of stretch to them.

Stir fry can be fattening if you eat it with a lot of rice, and despite the stereotype that Asian food is healthy and low-calorie, they use a shocking amount of sugar in some of their sauces.

I always had a specific look I wanted. I loved the idea of being large yet powerless. People often see big guys as being fat but strong. I loved the idea of being large yet all my size/weight was blubber, so someone much smaller than me could easily overpower me.

I have never had fantasies about being huge...at least not by FF terms...but I have always wanted to be soft. I love the notion of being heavy but all blubber.

When I decided to gain, my ultimate goal was softness. I wanted to be heavy, but I wanted all that weight to be soft blubber, with zero muscle tone.

As I began gaining, I made a point to limit my activity in order to make my muscles soft and weak and flabby. I love the idea that I'm big yet much weaker than those much smaller than I am.

That's how I measure my gain, with a tape measure. I measure my belly at its roundest point first thing in the morning, when it's still empty (54 inches this morning).

I also usually measure my chest (50 inches today), arm (16 inches), and thigh (28.5 inches). Now and then I'll measure my neck.

Keeping old clothes around is another great way of measuring. I still kick myself that I got rid of some of the stuff I wear in my older pix since I'd be popping buttons on some of them now.
