I can’t grow a belly :(

I have a ball belly and have been gaining with my normal diet plus about 2000 calories per day of peanuts and double cream. My normal diet is fairly low carb and high in meat, eggs and veg plus some beer. The weight has gone mostly to the ball, which has become very hard, but also to everywhere else as subcutaneous additions. As I'm not about to live only on cream (or only on beer!) I can't experiment to say which of you is correct.

Irritated at my family for constantly bothering me about my weight and what i eat.

Britishfatlover:
Sorry if I'm rambling I just have a lot on my mind I guess. I guess I'm asking what was your experience with your wife?

When I married my wife, 34 years ago, she was about 320 lbs at 5 ' 6". She had always been fat since early childhood and although her weight has fluctuated over the years with several diets, she is now around 270 lbs and trying to lose weight for health reasons (which I am encouraging). She does not mind being fat apart from the health problem (she has bad arthritis and has very limited mobility). She is definitely not into this kink although I have never discussed it with her and I am sure she would not approve. My weight gains occasionally get comments such as "we must go on a diet" but I find ways to supplement my diet secretly.

I have been in a similar situation myself, many years ago when I lived at home as a college student and was trying to gain, so I do understand your frustration. I agree that you need a place of your own to be able to do as you please and I hope you find a new job soon so that you can do this. Good luck!

Fill in a bathtub?

Just installed a really large bath to overcome the problem. Gut still projects well above the rim when lying back though!

Heavy cream is very sneaky

Justachubbywannabe:
I tried a quart a day and managed to do it for 4 days before my entire body began to ache. Im guess i just over did a little maybe? Anyone else experience this? Im gonna go down to a pint a day this week

I would say a pint a day is probably a good amount. Don't stop eating everything else though. The cream should be on top of a good day's feeding and just before bed is the best time, I reckon.

First time out in a while, realised i outgrew my clothes

Bigbee237:
I haven’t had to leave the house more than a few times in the last 2 months and have been living in sweatpants, baggy shirts and no bra. Now that I’ve been home I eat on a more regular basis and I haven’t been working out but I didn’t think I was gaining much. I knew that before my vacation at the beginning of March I was 255 lbs. I went to put on a pair of jeans the other day and I couldn’t even button them. I tried everything until I gave up. They’re a size 18 that I was forced to buy bc I could no longer squeeze into my jeans after the holidays. They fit but were a little snug in the belly after immediate washing. They were what I wore on my last day at work before we closed. When I couldn’t even button them the other day I decided to get on the scale and I was 286 lbs. 30 freaking lbs in 2 months! I stepped on and off the scale 5 times because I couldn’t believe it. Never in my life have I been this big and I didn’t even realize it was happening. I went to my friends house yesterday in the only pair of sweatpants that fit and a bra that was a little too tight. She is also fat with a huge gut and has never even brought up my weight so when she said “Have you been exercising? Because you’re looking a little chunky” I was sooo embarrassed. I’ve always secretly liked being fat and I love food but I don’t want to get bigger than a size 20 or over 300 lbs. I’m wondering if I should just go for it and get up to 300 lbs and hope nobody says anything or if I should start trying to lose the weight now. I could easily gain another 10 lbs trying if I gained 30 in 2 months without trying right?

Well, since people will notice anyway, you may as well do the job properly and get to at least 300. See how you like it...

Fast weight gain

Blondebaby:
10kgs heavier. My thighs rub together, my hips and butt jiggle as I walk, my belly is heavy and my boobs are in the way. Getting up is hard, getting dressed is such a struggle and moving around is exhausting. Yet I feel so fucking sexy and can't wait to gain more and more even though I know this will all get more full on. I assume i am not alone in feeling this way 😅

Definitely you are not alone. That feeling of being fatter is wonderful, isn't it? I find it difficult to describe the feelings.

Does anyone else have a hard time with sizing?

I would agree that clothing manufacturers are hopeless in getting sizing right and consistent. Also many online outlets are bad at giving the actual measurements of clothes they are selling.
Like others on here, I have found that men's trousers are usually (but not always) 2" larger in the waist than the marked size. What particularly annoys me is the lack of "rise" measurements. I wear my trousers up around my belly rather than under it and the rise measurement is critical to avoid them falling down. I know braces (suspenders) would help hold them up but they leave a gap above my belly, which I don't like.

To gain or not to gain

It seems you need to get some loose fitting comfortable clothing, a size too big, that you can grow into. You obviously want to gain further from what you have said. You will probably get comments but don't let that trouble you. Just enjoy yourself.
