What age did you start gaining?

I’d have to say it wasn’t an age, but an age range. My 30s saw me gain about 60-75 pounds gradually. This was after a boyhood spent solidly on the thin side. I’ve lost a slight bit of it, but it still forms the round ball belly I like to take pictures of for my pics section here :-)

What age did you start gaining?

Ditzy:
I was 26 I think.
My husband was really controlling and I was supposed to stay slim for him.
It was a rocky marriage and just to get back at him I gained 20 lbs and that ended up being 60 lbs.
He was really mad and I did it to get him to file divorce papers.
Its a long story LOLOL


Ha, nice :-) Many of us would’ve only found you much sexier after that initial gain!

The new norm?

BromineMoon:
With obesity rates rising worldwide, does anyone else think that fat appreciation will become more commonplace?

52Percent:
Probably not because powerful people in the fitness industry like Coach Greg exist. That dude wants to pretty much eliminate the fats from existing by having ideas of taxing them like how we wanted to tax the rich.

Munchies:
Yeah, bigotry is on the rise as of late. I won;t get into the weeds of it all because I don't wanna. But for the purposes of this specific thread, I will say that people are getting a lil too comfy being needlessly cruel to other people in a multitude of ways.


I can’t agree with you more, my friend. And their enablers are just as annoying.

Revealing bellies in public

Cealleighmarie:
The heavier I get the more I enjoy wearing crop tops and leggings! Showing all my soft belly! The looks of intrigue outweigh the disgust for me.
I think there are a lot more closeted FAs out there than we will ever know


Agreed on that last part :-) Nothing sexier than a confident fat girl showing off her belly in public!

The new norm?

Through observation, I’ve seen more acceptance of extra pounds in both women and men :-)

Eating while out of breath?

Little chocolate donuts? The little white powdered kind? Sounds cute and delicious either way :-)

Thanksgiving plans?

Thanksgiving was awesome here :-) I’m about to finish up the rest of the turkey and fixings of Mac and Cheese and rice. Trying to get back above 200 and I’m well on my way!

What is your belly apron

I’m a ball belly, so no actual hang for me. My wife would be a 2 1/2 on this chart, though. It covers her private parts but not quite to mid-thigh :-)
