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.

I don't think that's possible.

I have heard of someone gaining 100-120 lbs in a single year, or ~10 lbs a month.

I've also heard someone has been able to gain ~20-25 lbs in a single month, but it's not possible to sustain it.

I would also expect your body to rebel even if you could gain all that in only 3 months or so.

A voting/karma system like this with that kind of penalty would likely cause more problems than it causes. Imagine if there's a clique, and then someone gets on the "shitlist" of that clique for a petty reason.

One person could also try to open multiple accounts to try to game the voting system. You aren't supposed to open multiple accounts, and we crack down on this when discovered, but this isn't always right away.

That said, it does help when multiple users report the same troublemaker, and give as much detail as possible.

It's best if an administrator directly observes the behavior when it happens, though this isn't always possible.

We do wish to get rid of obvious troublemakers, trolls, and scammers. We also want to strongly discourage obvious, intent, disrespectful behavior. But we don't want to mistakenly remove someone because of petty, minor disagreements.

Tell me about it. I'm a few hours south in DFW, and it's a similar thing it feels like. And Texas isn't exactly skinny either. I thought everything was supposed to be bigger in Texas.

In fact, there was a historical paradigm and double-standard here that it's perfectly fine for men to be big and fat but women are supposed to be slim and trim. Though over the last 20+ years or so, the second part has been breaking down into "women can be fat too."

And goodness knows, there's no shortage of heavy folks here, and a local culture that prioritizes heavy, fattening, calorie-laden foods.

As a point of being practical and realistic, I think it's best to just try to find a lady who's already fat and has learned to accept it, even like it. That's far easier to find.
