A custodian at my job from a long time ago. His name was Hector. I didn’t yet accept being gay, nor was I attracted to fat guys. But this guy did it for me. Whenever I saw him or thought about him I fantasized being with him, and had to run off somewhere to “relieve” myself. Woof! He was hot!

Uh... brb...

Due to back and leg pain from a lumbar fusion my pain management doctor wanted me to lose weight. He says the belly is a problem. So I lost about 5-6” from my belly.

My 42 waist pants that slid down under my belly are now quite loose. But I really liked having a belly that spread out and filled my shirts when I sat. Not to mention it being on display when I walk or stand.

I want to strike a balance between having a nice round belly, growing my muscles again (I’m back to weight training), feeling well and sneaking my belly past the doctor. I might gain back 2-3” and hold there.

I always thought fat guys were sexy and wanted to be like them. While I’m not sure about being fat myself anymore, and am losing weight for medical reasons, I still think fat guys are hot as hell.

Do what’s right for you. With most of the western world being overweight it shouldn’t be anything to judge someone over.

There’s a lot of fat-shaming in the media but it they don’t have as much clout as it seems. If you like being fat, go for it!

I’ve had to take off weight for medical reasons but if I had my choice I’d be a hell of a lot fatter regardless of what anyone says or thinks.

While I was getting fat I was of two minds:
1. It was a real turn on;
2. I really didn’t like how I looked.

I realize now that I was worried what other people thought. I got over that and really loved being fat. I’ve had to take some off due to my pain doctor (lumbar surgery) harassing me about my belly affecting my back. I have a little more to take off but I can and will still proudly rock a belly.

For the most part other people’s opinions don’t matter.

Height 5’ 6”.
Weight 218, was almost 230 (doc harassed me into losing).
Chest 48”.
Belly @ navel 44”, was up to 50”. I miss my belly.
Waist 42”.
Thigh 25”.
Biceps 16.8” cold flexed.
Neck 18”.

I got dressed for work in khakis and polo shirt. I noticed how snug my clothes were and how big my belly was getting.

Yes, you got it! I love the beach ball, or basketball belly and muscles. Now I remember I saw a local (shore town) cop some years ago during the summer. He was wearing the tight summer uniform of polo shirt and shorts. He was obviously a powerlifter or strongman lifter. He had the biggest traps, arms, legs and butt... and a belly that definitely filled out his shirt. That is the look I think I will go for.

This is really just a brain fart post. I’m not really sure what the point is other to share it.

Due in part to my pain management doctor busting my nuts about my belly not helping my back pain (lumbar fusion not entirely successful) I decided maybe it is time to scale back.

I sincerely wanted to fatten up to about 250-260 lbs and a 52-54” belly (I’m 5’6”). The idea is still a very big turn on, but I don’t see that kind of gain happening. I know for health reasons I need to lose it.

I’ve been dieting and working out. I’m back to working out at least as much as I did before my shoulder and back surgeries. The Apple Watch and a few iPhone workout apps make it fun.

I’m not losing much scale weight but I’ve lost 4-5” from my belly. This morning it was 46”, but I wear size 42 pants. I might get down to about size 40s and be happy.

But I like carrying the chub, I like my belly, I like seeing it stick out over my belt, I like filling out my shirts. I’m also pretty happy I’m gaining muscle, strength and stamina back. I think I can be happy being a muscle chub.

That’s all.
