I know the drill, I think I've seen it on my girlfriend. She used to be a skinny girl when we met, almost underweight I guess.

I told her about my preference for "girls with some meat" just as a joke, since she had joked saying she prefers black haired curly guys, which I'm not.

After a couple of years she did happen to gain a few. We were both surprised and thought it was cute. She didn't worry much, she had been thin for all her life, even too thin.

She started having fun with it and added food to our relation. For example she could have had a nice meal at restaurant and then mischievously add a dessert, letting me know it was "just for fun".

Initially she was laughing when the scales kept climbing for a while.

Then she told me to enjoy her little gain as it lasted, because she was soon going to get back to her baseline.

Then she realized that eating normally was not enough to lose the weight.

So came the first diets. She managed to lase a few, just to gain it back soon after, usually with some extra added.

I was still finding it very erotic (I still am), she was finding it less "fun", but still ok. Plus, I was loving her and her body, she liked her food, and dieting is not fun at all..

Long story short.. after years of yo-yoing she is now at 176 lbs, 60 pounds heavier than when we met, and if you ask her, she'll tell you there is no reason to even try dieting "no matter how much I lose, it will all come back to me."

She seems to be pretty resigned to the idea she will never be slim, or normal, again. Lately she seems to be more concerned about how much bigger she could get in the future..

All in all my experience confirm that yes.. be warned, it could be permanent! Just be prepared to enjoy it for long!

I love contrast too! Not only actula physical contrast, but also going in opposite directions..

My ex-girlfriend was a very good looking girl, just a bit on the chubby side when we started dating, while I was very fit and muscular, being an athlete.

My friends too used to tell me how good looking my girlfriend was, just a bit too chubby.

High school was finished, we moved together, and my training shedule became much less important.

Also she was cooking every day, and presenting me great dinners. I was completely absorbed by her and our relationship which I didn't notice the initial changes.

I notice she was losing some of her extra weight, also because her friends were complimenting her for it. Despite being a fat admirer, I was so in love with her which I didn't mind too much.

After a few months she confessed me she was in love with how I was getting. I asked what she meant and she shocked me. "You are getting soft.. your abs are no more in sight.."

I was overwhelmed with emotions. I was getting "soft", my girlfriend was getting better and better, everyone were noticing it, I was totally unaware of it until it was too late.

That summer I was the one getting amused comments about my soft potbelly, while my girlfriend kept being praised for her wonderful body!

Does it count as a contrast??

When my girlfriend started to plump up her friends and colleagues reactions have been mostly gentle and playful.

Initially it was just the usual "oh, you've filled out a bit, but it suits you very well", you know? They were showing they were noticing it. but at the same time they were reassuring there was no need to worry at all.

Then, as my girlfriend continued to plump up, her colleagues comments seemed to be a bit more amused and inquiring. They were amused because nobody was expecting to see her put much weight on (she had always been thin), and they were also curious to understand how much it was and how was it happening.

So comments like "Have you gained another bit? Looks like no more than 5 pounds, isn't it?" or "yes, working at the office does this almost to everybody.. and you're not riding your bycicle anymore by the way, probably you just need to do that and you'll slim down again."

But, since the trend didn't stop, and the initial 15 pounds gave space to 15 more the comments became a bit more explicit, also because my girlfriend had learnt to joke about it herself. So things like pinching her growing lovehandles or poking her belly roll and making some funny jokes became all but unusual. She told me one of her older colleague poked her belly and told her "wow, you've really settled well into your cubicle", while another suggested to go for shopping because her pants looked too tight.

They felt confident to comment also in front of me, always very playfully, making also my girlfriend laugh while telling me how they knew who was always ready for an extra treat at the office, and how they couldn't believe her appetite wouldn't have catch her at the end, and indeed..

Her family was much harsher initially. Instead of joking they were more saying things like "you're getting fat, you should really eat less" "you've never had so wide hips, what are you eating at home?"

But at the end they got used to their plumper girl too.

WOW.. measures.. what are they like now?

Girls are pretty sensible about weight and gaining, both on themselves and others, expecially their partner and most of all if he had a six pack to begin with.
Some years ago I realized my gf was particularly happy with my body. I had always been lean and muscular so I was pretty confident so I paid little attention, even if I had abandoned my track and field training a few months before. More months passed and she was looking more and more happy. At the end she confessed she was enjoying looking at my six pack vanishing and at my gut growing. I hadn't even realized I had been gaining, but for her it was clear since the first pounds. She confessed she was loving my softened belly only after my six pack was totally gone. I had already put on 20 pounds by then. She said nothing before because she was afraid I could get self-conscious and diet. Moreover she said she was happy I was softer because she considered I was more "hers", as she was adding some meat with her cooking.
So, chances are that she has noticed your six pack is gone, and she is liking your fatter belly, but she doesn't know if you are aware you have gained, and is afraid afraid you could get back. Try to complain about your trouser getting tight

Oh, I know the feeling. I was camping at a lake with my girlfriend when her parents reached us. They had not seen her daughter for a whole year, since we moved away, and she had been putting some meat on her bones in the meanwhile. It was just a few pounds at the beginning, bringing her at a normal weight instead of her usual thinness, so she paid no attention. But as months passed more pounds piled, and her curves blossomed. She wasn't complaining about her curves, but at a certain point started to remark with concern on her softening waist. Slowly she got that shapely, well-fed look I adore. Even a tad too much "well-fed" at the end of that year, as she remarked trying on her old bikini. But there was no time for dieting as we were packing and leaving for our vacation in a week. And there her parents caught us. Her mother was clearly surprised by how much softer she was looking. Decidedly her curves had developed and softened to the point she was spilling out of her bikini. Her bottom's strings were digging her sides, while her belly was bulging and looking jiggly. Her softened thighs and bum wasn't helping dissimulating her gain as well. Our small camp chair was pretty much hidden below their new spreading softness.
She wasn't fat, just a bit overweight in a not forgiving outfit. And that was a pleasure for me to see. But her mother sounded way more alarmed than pleased. "OMG girl! You plumped up so much, you are.. you are OVERFLOWING everywhere!" My gf was totally embarrassed as her mother kept asking how much had she gained, and just blurted out "not that much", but failed to convince her parents.
That evening we dined all together. Her mother was struggling to refrain from making any further comment, but after looking at her daughter enjoying her meal from the appetizer to the dessert, through a rich main course, and cleaning greedily all of her plates, couldn't help herself any longer, and sentenced "no surprise you have filled out so much girl, if that is the way you are eating every day at home, you won't fit in your clothes by the very next year."

OMG! And you still have to go through all of the X-mas feasts! i think the New Year will look at a new girl.. nomoreskinnyATALL

Wow, ambitious target for you! But I'm confident that your resort vacation can easily contribute with a good dozen of pounds, and multiple Christmes feasts should do the rest! Don't forget to ask Santa Claus for bigger clothes under the tree!

Have you just enjoyed that or helped somehow, like cooking more, more fat food, ecc?

Which are your motvations?
