How out of shape i am

Chubbyworld:
I tried doing push-ups today and could barely get one. I don’t even think it would count.

I used to be able to do 25


Sounds like you are secretly loving your new chubbiness smiley

Pregnancy

My wife’s pregnancy years ago set the the tone for her massive gain :-) I’ll simply recount what I’ve written in previous threads:

She had her first child barely out of high school and, according to her accounts, gained between 80 and 100 pounds between the pregnancy and some health-related issues (certain meds’ effects on her). She tried the depo shot for birth control and got pregnant (and fatter) anyway with her second child. She’s told me those depo shots are what changed her body for good. Went from just a puffy figure barely holding on to a big bellied, big-butt(ed), big ol’ fat girl :-) Wish I’d have known her then so I could have witnessed her waistline explode in size and her belly grow from being barely there to being so huge and sexy that she stopped wearing underwear at a certain point. This is as good a point in the story as any to mention her bra band size was only in the low 30s entering her 20s. So that’s more than 12 inches gained just in her middle since then :-)

We had our first child together three years ago now. She was already just at 300 pounds, so she didn’t have to gain but maybe 20 during the pregnancy. Today, she’s a proud 330 pounds with a spirit that’s just as soft and tender as her skin :-) We’d have each other no other way but fat and happy :-)

Super sized travel!

Morbidly A Beast:
I haven’t been on a plane in forever but I I’ve seen a few fellow fat people reserve themselves an extra seat for themselves so they can spread freely without feeling weird about touching other people with your girth or vice versa


Probably the way to go if you can swing the price.

HappyBigBelly:
Flying on the airlines is definitely a subject that will come up whenever my wife and I take a real vacation somewhere. We’ve not gone anywhere far enough to warrant an airline ticket since we’ve been married (six years). I hadn’t flown in 10 years now, wifey even longer, probably 15 years.

I’ve gained some since then, but not enough to change the way I occupy an airline seat. But my wife will likely have some challenges fitting into the average airline seat. Last time she flew was long before she was above 300 pounds. Wonder what kind of time someone 5-2 and 330 pounds will have fitting into the seat?


MoreOfMe:
Is that a good challenge that she will face new challenges fitting into the seat? Does she take it in stride, with your support?


Actuslly, we’ve talked more about taking driving trips to various places. Not out of fear of airline seats, of course, but simply out of the desire to hit open roads. But for some of what we want to do, we’ll have to fly. And so we’ll just have to see.

Seatbelt extenders

Are these available in the states,
I wonder? I remarked to my wife just the other day about seat belts not really being designed for women at all, and definitely not for large women. My wife’s hips and butt spill over onto the seat belt buckle and it’s sometimes a challenge to find it in the first attempt.

Pants, under or over the lower belly?

Mine is a beach ball belly without any creases or anything, so I still wear mine under. It poofs out well enough with most shirts :-)

My wife’s belly is huge, however, with the separation crease between her upper and lower belly. Quite common in ladies over 300 pounds :-) So, she wears most pants over the lower belly, even with the crease.

A huge shout out

Ah, I could go on and on about food chains that skimp on ingredients :-) Remember to buy local, whenever possible!

Are metal bed frames better?

Wife and I use a base mattress and a memory foam mattress with a topper, without an actual frame. The whole apparatus sits a smidge lower than a bed with a frame, but it’s most comfy for both of us. It absorbs our combined 500 or so pounds nicely ;-)
