The worst part about getting fatter has probably been the expense involving buying new clothes, though this becomes less frequent as you need more and more calories and pounds for every additional inch. But it's still going to be more frequent than someone who isn't gaining deliberately. This cost can be potentially substantial, depending on personal preferences. You will have to accept giving up on certain clothing brands, even if this is less common than before. Express makes some pretty good jeans/pants, but they currently don't go higher than 42 for a 44" waist, unfortunately.
The second worst part is probably getting hungry even when it's not convenient. Sometimes I can solve this by drinking a heavy cream weight gain shake if I don't expect to be able to eat for at least several hours.
The best part is the additional mass and softness. I've even noticed, and enjoyed certain changes to my personality. I may move slightly slower, but it also means I'll think more deliberately and plan it out a little better. Sitting is also more comfortable than it used to be, both because of built-in softness and the additional mass that keeps me more grounded. Sometimes, I just don't want to get up. And yes, sometimes I just love how the softness feels, whether it's that my fingers can sink in more than they used to, or indeed, rubbing my gut, particularly after eating.
Another best part is that I both want, though also need to eat more than I used to. I can enjoy more fattening, calorie laden foods than I used to. I have a stronger preference for higher calorie food. I'll still eat a salad, but I'm going to want croutons, lots of creamy Caesar dressing on it, and ideally bacon bits on it.
Sometimes I even get cravings that aren't exactly driven by horrible hunger, yet it still feels quite good when you satisfy them anyway. I'll tell you something else.. it's very nice and usually feels good to drink a heavy cream weight gain shake before going to sleep. Really puts a smile on your face.

Oh yes, and I'm quietly thrilled about this!
This has been a thing in women's clothes for years/decades. Some point out that Marilyn Monroe was a size 16, and back then she was, despite being so skinny.
But I think it's only been a few years that this started to affect most men's clothes too. This isn't the case with all brands. Wrangler jeans are still true to size, so a "40" is still 40" around the waist, not 42", so far as I know.
But most out there? Add 2 inches to the advertised waist size to get the real number. That seems to be the reality nowadays.
The only downside I see to this isn't really much of a downside at all. I have some 40s which are really 42". Just means I need to expand another inch or so until they start to get snug. Only one way to solve that, and that's to have more ice cream, heavy cream, triple burgers, snacks, baked goods, etc.
Of course, once that happens, there will come a day when that's too snug, so the only option would be to upgrade to the next size up. One nice thing though, is that beyond a certain size, you have enough softness and squish that clothes will last longer before you have to upgrade.
At a certain point, though I know not when, I'll probably not actively gain, but will likely still slowly expand like most of us are doing. Perhaps by that point, the clothing sizes will adjust again. Perhaps where the advertised size + 4" will become the norm.

Anjou:
My fiancé can really handle the cream, and he can pack on easy 12lbs a week consuming it
12?!
Are you sure that's not fluid/water retention?
Can I also guess this means he probably works 100% remote?

I don't know if there's a really good answer for this, since it really depends on how far you take it, and there's so many things to possibly consider. The best thing you can probably do is read about the experiences of others.
There's tiers and levels of fat that most folks never get to, for one thing.
Just as a forewarning though, some of these can potentially be quite expensive, so you'd need to prepare for that.
First Tier:
These are probably some of the first changes you might notice.
Food Costs
Perhaps obviously what the food costs, though this might not be as big of a deal depending on what your current eating and spending habits are. Of course, I don't know what kind of budget you're on. If you're already engaging in a lot of budget unfriendly activities, it'd be easier to adjust.
If you get same day food delivery - stop. It's so insanely expensive it's not even funny. You can get SO much more food from the grocery store, or even when you get takeout. I will never understand why anyone uses this service.
You shouldn't use grocery delivery either, but if you somehow must, try to maximize the size of the order to economize on delivery/shipping costs.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are also expensive, spoil very quickly, and lack calories. Vitamins are important, but multivitamin pills are very cheap.
Clothes:
How much this costs of course, depends on your fashion choices, preferences, and requirements. If you need to wear 3-piece suits for work, this is gonna suck, though this is less likely than once upon a time.
The first thing that would stop fitting are bottoms; trousers, jeans, skirts, etc. especially around the waistline area.
The next thing that will stop fitting are tops; shirts, blouses, etc. particularly around the neck area, followed by probably the gut area and depending on the item, the arm holes.
While less common than before, there are still some clothing brands you will have to give up on. This isn't a problem that just women may have, but men could have it too. I notice that Express won't sell bottoms larger than a 42 (44" waistline) for men, which is too bad since I think they make some decent quality stuff and if you catch the right sale, the pricing isn't too insane.
That's tier 1.
Second Tier:
This probably won't differ too much from tier 1, but other things start to be affected.
Depending on the shape of your foot, or how much that's thickening up, you might need larger shoes. Though, you're unlikely to change shoe size anywhere near as quickly as clothes size. This is why I didn't mention shoes in tier 1.
Jewelry, in the form of rings, may eventually need to be resized, or moved from say, the index finger to the pinky, etc. This process is not particularly cheap. When I had a ring resized, I had to pay about $90.
Some furniture will start to give you pause, but such furniture will be rare. I'm talking about small, thin plastic stools or smaller/thinner folding chairs. Traditional classroom desks with an integrated chair may be too snug, but I don't think those are even common in classrooms anymore, and you'd never find them anywhere else.
I could be wrong but I don't think most folks usually get too much past tier 2.
Third Tier:
This is probably the point where more folks might start to think "Wow I'm big" since this could require more expensive changes.
You might also be thinking about another bed/mattress, though this might happen in tier 2.
If you have a compact car, you're probably giving serious thought to something bigger. Depending on model, this could mean it costs a good bit more.
There's more furniture where you're worried it might break. You're thinking about a desk chair designed to hold more weight.
You can probably still sit in a booth at a restaurant, but it may not be comfortable so you prefer not to.
Commercial flights will be even more annoying, since coach seats are just too snug. Public transit is likely to have the same problem.
Fourth or Fifth Tier
There might be a tier where major dwelling space renovations may be required, but realistically, few individuals ever get this big.

This thread reads very much like a personals ad, so I'm moving it to the appropriate board.

That was me at one point. I thought I was only an FA and feeder.
Although, I think part of it is that I actually wanted, or needed to be fat all along, but that's a whole 'nother story.
Anyway, a few things to keep in mind -
I don't know if those first 10-15 lbs will come easy or hard, but I doubt anyone will really notice. If anyone noticed back in the day when I went from a scant 130 to 145, no one said anything. I used to have a notion of going about 10 lbs at a time, though my milestones are now about 25 lbs at a time.
You're unlikely to notice any very substantial changes outside of closed doors with only a small amount gained.
Especially at your height (I saw you, the OP, is just over 6`) the odds are pretty good you might not even need new clothes, though some of them will feel a little more snug.
You might have a slightly improved appetite and crave more calorie dense foods, but I wouldn't expect your normal eating patterns to change much (when you aren't trying to eat at much as possible).
That might be enough to know for sure, but it also might not be.
Of course, here's the big one you might have to really watch out for.. I say this in a tongue-and-cheek manner, because it might actually be positive.
You might think.. well that wasn't enough to notice much change, "I need 10 more lbs." and then, the cycle keeps repeating. Before you know it, you've gained 30 lbs, bought some new clothes, accepted it, and it's still not enough and you've just got to keep going!

So, as I understand the heavy cream challenge, it has the following parameters:
- It takes place for a minimum amount of time, perhaps 2 weeks.
- Every day, you consume a minimum amount, perhaps 1 cup. It can either be alone, or mixed with something.
- If you miss 1 day, 2 more days are added to the countdown, effectively adding 1 additional day.
- The challenge concludes when you reach 0 days.
If you are very fat, or find it too easy, you could increase it to 2 cups/1 pint a day. But I don't think I can handle this daily. Not yet, anyway.
So far, I've been mixing 1 cup heavy cream with 1 bottle (1 cup) Equate Plus. This is the Wal-Mart knock-off brand of Ensure Plus, which provides about 1,150 calories in only a pint.
I've started the challenge on May 1st. Technically I did have a heavy cream weight gain shake as I described on the 30th, but I'm not counting that.
I already missed one day, so I had to push back the last day from the 14th to the 16th.
I'm trying this because I've had a hard time being consistent with it in the past. It's my hope this will be a fun way to keep it up consistently.
Has anyone else tried something similar? I wonder if this will get easier, or harder over time.
I'm kind of inspired since I think my long lasting plateau might have finally broken, assuming I haven't jinxed it by saying this.

No particular specific diet, other than mostly favoring high-calorie/calorie dense foods. I do try to maintain a daily calorie minimum and usually, a nightly dessert of some sort.
As nice as it is to have an epic eating day, that can be defeating if it means you eat next to nothing the day after.
It seems to be better to have a daily minimum you can slowly increase over time.

Is this a serious question?
No, just no. Don't do it. Don't even think about it.
The 1% of men who do this, do it SO much, that something like 1/3 of women have reported being exposed to such images when they didn't want to see that.
The problem even got so egregious, that a many if not most U.S. states have passed laws against this. The individual must give implicit or explicit consent to view such images. So now it's a misdemeanor charge in most states.
I'd imagine there's similar laws in other countries, provinces, and states.
But even if there's no such applicable law, it's just not a cool thing to do. It's unfortunate that such a law even had to be passed.
So yeah, just don't do it. If she wants to see it, she will say so. Otherwise, just assume they don't want to see pictures of that.

I've wondered about that too. I have a bit more gut and less ass than I prefer. In fact, if I get out a tape measure, the thickest part of the gut if larger around than my ass, and the waistline (where the wasitband sits) tapers in only a little bit.
Really wish I had more ass and thighs. I'm kind of afraid that if I continue I'll look like an inflated beachball with skinny limbs, which would not be a good look. It's been one of my disappointments so far.
Suppose I'll keep trying to gain more and see what happens, but I've sometimes thought this might be a showstopper. Maybe I should try the heavy cream challenge.
