If I could maintain basic mobility and health, I'd gain another 150 pounds (currently 573). I only stopped because of a medical crisis and surgery. I've been a hardcore belly stuffer for years, and not a day passes that I don't wish I could eat my way into oblivion.

Thanks!! I keep thinking of additional minor details but I think I've covered the big ones. Fortunately I don't use oxygen, so that's not a need.

Are there any super-sized folks out there who have traveled by air, or people who have been a companion to someone very obese? I used to travel much more often when I was in the 300s, but my honeymoon in a few months will be the first time I've flown at my current size, which is over 570 lb.

My fiance and I are planning carefully, including purchasing two seats for me. I have my own seat belt extender, and we requested special assistance. We even bought a bariatric wheelchair he can push me in, since navigating transportation with my scooter isn't a given. Is there anything we might be overlooking?

That's really impressive! Do you remember what all you ate? And how much weight did you gain?

After my Thanksgiving stuffing, my belly was so bloated, I couldn't walk well for two days, sit up straight, or stand any clothing constraining it. I was essentially beached by my own gluttony. It's the only time I ever seriously questioned if Id gone too far, and my stomach would pop. It also ultimately kicked my appetite into overdrive, and I blew up during the holidays. Wish I could do it again!

I have ten more, LOL. (These aren't hard when you're 573 pounds!)

11. You're wearing a pair of shorts, but no one can see them when you sit because your pot belly and back rolls obscure them.
12. You have to stay in the water at the pool, not just to beat the heat, but because you're weary of sitting on pool furniture.
13. A pool raft pops (in the water) under your weight.
14. Your belly button flattens out from all the visceral fat pushing against it.
15. You need mobility tools (grabber, clothing hook) to get dressed.
16. Your bath sponge is on an 18 inch extender.
17. You have to remove the shower door and install a curved curtain rod because you got too fat to turn around in a confined space
18. You have no choice but to use the accessible stall in a public restroom because of your size
19. You've cracked a ceramic floor tile stepping heavily on it.
20. Olive Garden usually brings couples three bread sticks, but the server automatically brings six to your table for two (knowing you'll still ask for more later, because after all, they did say "endless".

BONUS: You ate SO much during a 2-day Thanksgiving feast, your fiance, a VERY hard core feeder, implores you to take a break because "I'm worried something might happen to your internal organs".

I'm really happy in my body, and I'm really happy with my fiance. Contrast is not really a big turn-on for me, but it's not a turn off either. I find him really hot, and he loves my size, so it just... works. And in daily life, we actually don't think about it that much, especially now that I'm not in gaining mode.

1)Any car you get in creaks when you heave you weight into it
2) You're too heavy for a grocery store scooters
3) You have to trade cars AND get pedal extenders because you outgrew your sedan
4) You can't reach your own belly button
5) There are no brick and mortar stores that carry your size, and you have to order everything online
6) You need reinforced furniture
7) A whole cookie sheet is stable sitting on your belly
8) You have to sit at a bit of an angle at most tables because you otherwise wouldn't be able to reach your food with such a big gut
9) You go through body lotion like water because there's so much surface area to cover
10) You need the thermostat set on 66 because your obese body gets hot so easily

I've always been fatter than all the boys/men my age, as well as the fattest kid of any gender in school. In college, I was around 350 and dated a guy about my weight (but a foot taller). My fiance is tall and fit, and he loves that I outweigh him by nearly 400 pounds.

A 75 chicken finger Tailgate box from Raisin Cane's, 26 packets of Tailgate Sauce, 12 pieces of Texas Toast, and a gallon of sweet tea. All that salt made my face and hands super bloated though.
