Noticing changes.

Yeah, you�re addicted. 😁 It is addictive. I used to hate being fat but I really embraced it now. I was a powerlifter, so my scale weight was higher than most people. I always liked fat guys and imagined myself like that. But it was just a fantasy. My weight fluctuated from 190-230-220-210... Right now I�m about 235. I was recently up to 240 but stress made me lose some. I want to hit 245 then possibly 250-260. I�ll probably stop there because my back and knees are kind of shot. But that would give me a 52-53� belly. I�m already in size 44 pants with my belly at 50” and thrilled. 😊

Ways that you have brought up the subject of being fat with others.

I make off-handed and throwaway comments about being fat. I refer to myself as Fatboy. I point to my belly and make jokes. When someone offers me something I say “you don’t get to be 235 lbs by refusing food”. All these things get a laugh. If nothing else it makes people think I’m comfortable with my weight.

Made the big time?

I always fantasized about having my belly over 50”, pants waist 44-46 and filling out a shirt. Well, I’m here! I had to buy new Dockers and jeans in 44. Dress pants are next. I just can’t get the 42s closed. I don’t know how to post pics from my phone in a thread so I’ll upload them to my profile.

Some threads seem to start in the middle

When I open some threads it looks like I’m on a page other than the first. I don’t see the o.p., just the rest of the thread.

Is being out of shape a turn on?

fatsmagic:
@ datonaman - That is exactly how I feel at the moment.
Up to last October, I spent the past 15 years training hard, lifting weights, mountain biking, Kung Fu, strict diet (although my wife is quite large, and I have always been a FA).
Then I got ill, and lost over a stone of muscle through not being able to train. I really liked the softer flabby feeling, as I have never been fat myself.
So, I started eating junk and drinking double cream, and in the last month or so I have gained a lot, and have quite a flabby belly, and my once rock hard pecs have turned saggy and soft. Last night during sex, my wife reached up and started squidging my moobs lol, it was a great feeling.


I could have written that about myself. I used to train power lifting style. I used to mountain bike and run.

Then I had surgery for a couple of injuries (not from the gym, ironically)... major rotator cuff repair, lumbar fusion, and now a knee with a bone spur. Not to mention the muscle spasms from my back surgery.

I tried to stay in shape but with some of the meds I take for pain, spasms and other things I have to virtually starve to lose weight. I went from size 38-40 pants to 42, now 44. My pecs are also becoming flabby and droopy along with my belly. And I love this. I feel free. And sexy because I�ve always loved fat guys.

Moobs

I kind of like them. On a guy with a big blubbery belly they’re almost a requirement.

Tips to rewire my brain as a gainer

I associate my gaining with all the good looking fat men I see and want to look like. Kind of like being in a fat guys’ club.

Warnings gaining maybe addicting

Yeah, I like that “let me see how another 10 lbs looks and feels “. Unless I see pics side by side I don’t feel or think I look all that fat.

I wish this whole thing wasn't so taboo 😒


There’s a way around it...

Joke about getting/being fat. I make “pre-emptive strikes” about being fat...

1. I refer to myself in the 3rd person as “Fatboy”... “Yeah, Fatboy needs to get to the gym”, or I sing “Fatboy, Fatboy, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when there’s no more food.. I know sometimes you want an egg roll....“ to the tune of Bad Boys.
2. If someone offers me something I say “yes please, you don’t get to be 235 lbs by refusing food”.
3. If something happens... can’t fit somewhere, a wardrobe malfunction, etc. I say “Ooh! Time for a WW meeting” or “Well, off to the fat man store for clothes”. It all usually gets a laugh but totally throws ‘em off the scent of deliberately gaining.

Do any of you guys lift while also gaining?

I’m in a self-imposed exile from the gym right now (translation: I’m being lazy), but I do lift weights. I used to power lift until my shoulder surgery in 2012 and back surgery in 2015. Now I use mostly machines... Hammer Strength, Life Fitness, Cybex. I don’t think I’ll ever stop completely. I love the big muscles big belly look. Hence my name... Marshmallow Minotaur. I wanted to be half man half bull, but I carry a lot of marshmallow fluff. 😂😂😂
