I unintentionally lost weight last year (a lot of activity), and am trying to regain.

Weight was 245
Belly was 53”
Pants were 44

It took me a while to get used to not sucking it in because I did it for so long. In fact I still fight the urge but I’m getting better. I consciously relax it, remembering I’m proud of my belly. I’m sitting here right now with it relaxed. Wherever I happen to walk around, in a store, mall, parking lot, I just let it go.

I got past the point of no return when I saw I lost some weight, my clothes got loose and I didn’t want to buy a smaller size nor could I afford it. I decided to gain the weight back. In truth I’m at that point again. I lost weight unintentionally, found my clothes too big and have decided to grow back into them. Additionally I realized I like being fat. I see pictures of myself weighing less, and I don’t like how I look. I’m definitely past losing weight, and very much wanting to gain again.

Years ago, before I became conscious of liking fat guys (I’m gay) I worked with a fat Latino named Hector. He was a very sweet and polite soul. He used the “usted” form of address with me. I told him stop, I was no better than him, no need to be so formal. I really came to like him and even fantasized being with him. I still think of him and still fantasize. I think he was my first fat guy crush. Then I just started noticing other attractive fat guys and came to realize there were too many attractive fat guys in the world for there to be anything wrong with it. I decided I want to get fat like them.

A couple of times someone said something.

A former coworker I hadn’t seen in years told me I got chubby.
My sister once said “hey, what happened?”
My aunt, on two occasions remarked in front of others that I got tubby.

I was offended then but not anymore. I strike first. I have tee shirts that say Chubby Guys Cuddle Better; Living The Chubby Bearded Life; I Hate Being Sexy But I’m A Chubby Bearded Man So I Can’t Help It; If You’re Into Chubby Bearded Guys Then Hello.

I’m fat, I like being fat, I’m proud of being fat. Now if anyone says anything I shrug and say “Yeah, and...?” Puts them right off their guard. lol

I’m a stress non-eater. I’m just about 5’6”. I was 245 lbs just about 1 year ago, 54” belly. My goal was 260-270. Oh how I wanted my belly to hang over and ripple over my belt.

Then I lost my job (guess why), I wasn’t in the office to eat junk from the cafeteria and vending machines, and I moved. I did most of the moving and lost 35 lbs. I been stuck at 210-215 all this time. I’m happy to get to 225-230 at this point.

Money issues are a stress, so even though I’m not active I don’t have an appetite. I might eat once a day with a couple of cookies here or there. I really want to get back to eating more and gaining back some weight.

Sometimes I make Fatboy Shakes... whole milk, heavy cream, whole milk yogurt, ice cream, peanut butter, a banana, weight gainer powder. But often I just have no desire.

So, I’m at a loss currently.

I’m not sure if I ever answered in this thread. Maybe but a long time ago? Anyway my fantasy and goal has been 270, 280, 300 lbs, 56-57” belly, size 46-48 pants. I’m just about 5’6”. I’m about 210 now, so that’s 80-90 lbs. to gain. I’ve got a male couple for neighbors who have to be in excess of 300 lbs. Very sexy!

My gain was gradual and deliberate so it’s really hard to say, but I think I have to say when I passed 235 lbs. I had been up to 230 in the past (I lost it) but never thought of myself as fat, because it wasn’t a deliberate gain then. Also, after I started deliberately gaining I saw a couple of side view pictures of my gut protruding. I thought “yeah, I’m fat”, and liked it.

I don’t remember specifically but for the longest time I found fat guys very attractive. I always had a “weight problem” and seeing so many attractive fat guys I thought there couldn’t be anything wrong with it. So I started gaining and found I loved it. I’m just about 5’6” and got up to 245 lbs, size 44 pants, and 53” belly. I wanted to get to 260-270, size 46, and maybe get my belly to 54-55”. I unintentionally lost and am about 210, loose size 42s, and my belly about 45-46”. I was active and not eating much. I’m trying to gain it back but I need to eat more... a lot more. But yeah, I love being fat.
