So I'm having trouble dialing down my eating. I'm addicted to feeling full and food in general. Last week I averaged 4500 calories a day. This was after a month or so of eating about 3000 a day. What I don't get is I only gained a single pound (1.2) from my previous weigh in a week earlier. It's good because I wanted to slow down. I had been gaining 2-3lbs a week. But it doesn't make sense, I ate more calories than I had been and barely gained.
My worry now is that if I am able to ween off eating a bit (a big if lol), will I lose weight? Even if I stay in a calorie surplus for my daily requirements?

I wear pants around my belly. I'd like to wear them under, but I have short legs, they'd seem even shorter.

A few years ago at a work Christmas party there was a buffet style dinner. I did pretty well for normal people, but I could have eaten more. After leaving, on my way to grab my car
I stopped at a hot dog stand. I was devouring a sausage the rest of the walk to the car when a co-worker caught up. He looked at me and said, "wasn't there enough food at the party?"

I'm going to be going out for breakfast soon. Just waiting for the rest of my family to wake up. Don't know they know I'm a growing boy? I'm starving.

While shakes can be great for gaining, if you don't enjoy them then it's not worth it.
Take your time. You'll get discouraged if you try to do it too quickly. Add a snack here and there. Put a little bit more on your plate. You'll get there.

I met my wife when she was in the 210s. She's now in the 320's (I believe).
She's never been happy with her weight. But a few years back she bought a scale that goes over 270. She wasn' there yet, but it opened the door to it happening. And now she has by far surpassed that weight. I've always loved her, but now there is more to love.

I'm running into a slight problem. I'm close to 5,000 calories today. The complete opposite of trying to slow down my gain. I am addicted to gaining fast. What do I need to do to reign it in?
Primal23:
Often times you will eventually plateau. Keeping up that kind of gaining is usually pretty difficult and expensive. So something usually gives that causes you to slow down. You can go with it for now and see if and when that happens. If you don't slow down or plateau revisit the situation.
If that happens it's often simple sugars that add lots of calories and causes the health issues. So limiting that while still enjoying the other stuff could slow things down while still allowing you to indulge and gain. Just in a better way.
I for sure need to cut down on sugars. I'm not a big sweets guy, but I'm eating more of it now than I had been. Plus the white bread in bagels and burger buns etc. I wasn't eating any of those things. Now I eat them all.

How does one achieve the strong fat look? Is there specific foods and/or exercises to help someone become strong fat?
