My first gaining milestone!

So three Sundays ago, I was at 157lb (BMI 26.1) after a week of eating like a total glutton. I was pretty pleased with the gain, though at the time I still wasn't really feeling it... I had gained about 2 inches around the hips and belly, but there wasn't much difference to see, and I could still (just) button my size 12 skinny jeans. (I think that's about a US size 8.)
The next week I was back at work and I didn't have nearly so much opportunity to eat. I sort of wanted to take it slowly to recover: I didn't go hungry, but I didn't deliberately eat when I wasn't hungry. I still gained a pound (to 158). The next two weeks were different. I had plenty of opportunities to eat pizza or sticky desserts, and I made the most of them... and I gained 3lbs over the two weeks.
Which brings me to 161lbs (11 stone 7lbs), BMI 26.8 as of last Sunday
If I have managed to gain two pounds this week, I'll have gained 20lb!
I still don't really feel almost 20lb heavier (whatever that feels like) but over the last three or four pounds, I have started to notice a difference in my body - my tummy seems to have poked out quite suddenly. Before there was just soft skin, a little loose, but since a few pounds ago, I can look down and there's something there, and I can't make it vanish completely by pulling it in, either
The skinny jeans are history: as of two weeks ago, I can't get them done up, and my less-skinny size 12 jeans are too tight. I've dug out some size 14 trousers from when I was losing weight. I'm still pretty much a size 12 on top, but I have gone up a cup size and you can see my tummy sticking out through some tops! I like it
So what have I been doing that's involved lots of eating and not being online much? Well... I met somebody
I won't say much here, but we've been seeing a lot of each other and I'm very happy!
