I'm fairly muscular and don't have the biggest belly just yet so I've been able to pass it off as me just bulking so far. I do have one coworker who's an absolute health nut and likes to comment whenever I eat anything unhealthy on my break, but we talk about lifting quite often so I'm usually able to shake his comments by telling him "I don't lift weights to lose weight, I lift weights so I can eat whatever I want and not have to diet". This usually gets him off my back for a while, until he sees me eating something else unhealthy and the cycle starts again. Also my job has been fairly good for my gain because my boss has a pretty big sweet tooth and finds an excuse to bring us donuts fairly often, but it seems none of my coworkers really have one so I'm often able to sneak in a couple extra donuts without anyone noticing. We'll see if I get any more comments when my gain becomes more noticable

I always found him annoying, but I know quite a few people IRL who liked his videos. Honestly I'm kinda jealous because he had the exact body type I want, and then got rid of it. But hell this lifestyle isn't for everyone and I'm glad he's happier

Yeah it is hard. It caught me off guard how lazy I became after gaining even a bit and the break from the gym, it’s just so easy to find any and every excuse not to go. Not to mention the out of shape part of it, unless you work yourself up to it the sudden exertion hits you like a brick if you try and pick right up where you left off. Weird feeling softer and weaker, but same here, trying to lift more and bulk up more. Muscle and fat, dirty bulk mode
Oh certainly, I feel like I'm still pretty small compared to other feedees/gainers. So I'm curious to see what other challenges I'll have as I get bigger. I've already mentioned before but it feels like a lot of the equipment at my gym is made with skinny people in mind, so for a few of the machines I have to get in at a weird angle to wiggle my way in

Since I last posted this I have made it out to the gym a couple more times, and luckily I haven't lost much muscle mass, I've managed to get myself back up to lifting what I was before I took a break, but things are just more difficult in general. I'm not too terribly big just yet, but even my tiny belly gets in the way more than I'm used to so I have to lean down to adjust the weights differently. And my cardio is just gone, on leg days I like to start my workout with a 5 minute speed walk on the elliptical just to stretch out my legs, but not long enough to burn too many calories but even that has started winding me more than it really should. It'll be interesting to see how I have to change my workout habits in the future as I get larger

I don't see this talked about on here too much. But can anyone else feel their stretch marks come in? I really don't have many at this point, just some on my loves handles, arms, and chest, but none on my belly. But in the last day or so my previously faded stretch marks have turned red again at their tips and they're giving me a weird tingling sensation. It's both slightly uncomfortable and also a nice reminder I'm starting to make some progress again in my gain

Just wondering if anyone had any favourite characters in media who got fat. From fat TV episodes, characters who got fat in books/comis or characters who just got bigger over time
Curious what folks favourites are!
One of mine probably gotta be Deku's mum from my hero, as it's never really brought to your attention that she got fat, just that she was skinner in the past, it feels real natural to me
For me it has to be god of war Thor. Like he has the perfect belly to muscle ratio, I would literally kill to have that body or date someone with that body or preferably both. I'm just so tired of Thor being depicted as super slim, even though if you look at any strong man they are nowhere near slim at all

So for as much as I talk about how hot I think muscle chub is I honestly haven't been able to go to the gym that much recently. I just got a second job in June and honestly that been eating up most of my free time.
Usually when I take long breaks from the gym I'll start to lose weight because my body starts breaking down the muscle. But this time my weight actually started going up, and oh boy I could definitely tell once I got to the gym.
I've completely cut cardio out of my workout routine, but even just using the machines was a pain. I can definitely tell most of the machines at my gym were made with skinny people in mind because even though I'm only 224 my shoulders still felt too tight in a lot of them, so I had to sort of wiggle my way in there. And even though there was massive overhead fans blowing I was still sweating like crazy. I swear I would practically never sweat when I was below 200 lbs but recently the Texas heat has gotten to me much more.
I'm curious if any other gainers/feedees have any going back to the gym stories they'd like to share

I think I’m finally ready to give into gaining but my problem is I feel really embarrassed at the idea of ordering at restaurants or grocery shopping like a fat person especially as someone the exact opposite and of course already being shy in general doesn’t help but I’m wondering if anyone who had a similar experience who was embarrassed about giving in and eventually let go has any advice would be greatly appreciated
Morbidly A Beast:
3 words: food delivery apps
Worried about people judging you for getting enough food to feed a family of 12, don’t worry door dash will do it for you and they’ll just drop it at your door no interaction required
Or you can do curbside pick up you can have someone shop for you and alls you have to do is open your trunk and boom you got groceries or like I said just get a grocery delivery app
People need to stop worrying about what people might say or do and just learn to go with the vibes, don’t get me wrong I struggle with this sometimes too but the idea that someone is going to say something or bully you for being a fatty because you got a lot of food will never happen and if it does ever I will eat my words trust me but it won’t the fear is irrational fundamentally
I feel like this is a really common fear for people who started off skinny, or people who just generally grew up in a very fatphobic household. I'm definitely guilty of projecting a lot of the fatphobic views my parents instilled in me, so for instance sometimes when I'm going through a drive thru as soon as I hear the person's voice through the speaker I'll downsize my order because I'm afraid of them thinking I'm being a fatty. So I can definitely vouch for morbidly a beast's advice. Even if the worker is going to completely forget you exist in like 5 seconds, ordering online helps avoid feeling embarrassed
