Thank you for sharing! That is awesome! I know there was a study that showed older people experience some benefits too. They actually suffer less broken bones when they fall, get sick less often, and recover faster when they do get sick.

Since stress is among the most harmful situations our bodies face, so removing a constant background stress like, ALWAYS worrying about you weight and how you look, and trying yet another diet, seems like an obvious health benefit. :-)

Nice little story - although I'd prefer a more realistic WG. I think I read it years ago, when I frequented that site. I almost went in the Air Force/Navy after high school and remember thinking how I would have loved to come back from a deployment to a surpringly fatter wife/girlfriend. Some great stories over there. May have to wonder back for a trip down memory lane. I know this was directed at SecretFantasies, but thanks for posting that.

I would encourage you to try to be healthy about it, as much as possible. Unfortunately, healthier foods do cost more, but the home baking idea lets you use better ingredients, although, even some of that stuff has preservatives, dyes and artificial crud. It can be a challenge but you'll learn over time, and you don't have to ultra strict with it either.

Always good to hear. In RL, I've never had a problem finding great girls that like bigger guys. Run into them all the time, actually. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I somehow believe or feel that I must be skinny and muscular to deserve a good quality girl. It makes no sense.

Very glad to hear it! 🙂 Good to talk about it rather than live with the stress of not knowing and being worried about it. 👍

Also, if it would mean a lot to him, no harm in being supportive and working out with him at least some of the time, unless you just absolutely despise it. He's leaving soon (I assume), so if you happen to lose a couple of pounds, you can gain it back after he leaves. :-)

Just be prepared when he comes home, he might be a little shocked/surprised if your gain is noticeable. He may not like it, he may be neutral, or he may love it. Just be sure to convey confidence and pride in your body, not embarrassment or shame. Act as if he loves it and he just might. Good luck, happy eating and I hope you keep us posted. :-)

In general, absolutely! I love snug clothing on a chubby or growing girl. Not so tight it alters the shape of their body, but snug enough that you know it wasn't that tight when they bought it. All kinds of fun things run through my head when I observe that. How much have they gained? How much bigger will they be in a few months? Will they ever rip it with their growing body? Do they like their size or hate it? Are they gaining on purpose or not? Do they stuff themselves and with what?

So yeah, go ahead and keep the snug stuff and ware it proudly. Just remember not everyone is an FA but it's been my experience in talking to guys, there are a whole lot more than one would think.

These have been my wishes too, especially 1 and 3.

I guess I have the male counterpart to that: I'd love to keep a girl pregnant. Like, as many times as possible. Always wanted a big family of my own, but that will be a dream unfulfilled.
