Milhause:
So I recently stumbled upon my wife’s reddit account and I noticed a comment she made a week ago.

She was asking advice on how to knit a specific type of sweater because “I’m really self-conscious about my belly, particularly the lower belly (apple shaped).”

She’s gained a little weight recently and despite all my verbal and physical affection, I know no matter what I do I can’t help her love herself. She’s amazing and sexy and gorgeous and it breaks my heart that she focuses on the things she doesn’t like about herself instead of the things she does.

I’m also bummed because it gives me secondhand shame. I think her belly is really cute and feminine. She knows I’m a FA, but she doesn’t see herself the way I do. And I hate that the thing I find really sexy is the part of her she’s most embarrassed about. That’s fucked up and it makes me feel bad.

Idk, sometimes I just wish I wasn’t a FA. I hate feeling powerless to help her love herself and I wish her being down about her body didnt make me feel like I’m indirectly part of the problem.

Nothing wrong with enjoying beer. But go too hard and some of that belly might end up being an enlarged liver.

I have posted the first chapter of my story on DeviantArt as it breaks the guidelines here.

This is the opening chapter of a long story, following the protagonist for twelve years. She is 11 when the story starts, but I want to make it clear that there is nothing sexual about the story and there will not be until she is over 16 (Age of consent in UK) and has a strong relationship with her boyfriend. Even then, there will be no graphic descriptions. This story focuses on Emily growing up in the family she always saw as loving and protective, until it wasn't.

Sundown:
After many times trying to gain weight with heavy cream, I finally figured out a way to drink it without digestive issues. I added it to 6 scoops of mass gainer with a cup of whole milk and a cup of heavy cream with water immediately after a workout. No digestive issues! It doesn’t kill my appetite either, oddly. I can still have meals as usual if I drink my shake in the morning.

I gained 15 lbs in the last month and a half. I gained a little fat but not as much as one would think. Started off and still am pretty lean, so my goal isn’t to gain weight by just getting fat. I would like a little more fat though so I’m gonna keep doing this for a bit.

I was wondering if anyone else has the problem of getting a bit of a stomachache when stuffing themselves silly with fast food? Is this something that goes away the more frequently you do it? Or is it something that is constant?

If it's something that can eventually go away when getting used to it, I might have to keep it up for a bit, especially if it means eventually I can load up on delicious junk food and my stomach is used to handling it.

Its not all bad, - seeing that deflated melted body's with rolls of excess skin swaying from side to side like bags of mashed banana - is beautiful too

SNOWBELLY:
My theory is pretty simple, your fat cells have around 10 percent water, a huge influx of fat "pushes the water out" to make room for the fat, then after the huge amount of fat is no longer available the water creeps back in. if you have 50 lbs of fat (not unheard of at all) that would be 5 lbs of water. of course results would very from person to person. that on top of what Munchies said could easily account for it. Many dieters describe the opposite effect, they diet and diet without losing a pound, then the extra water the fat cells stored gets whooshed out. Its actually called the "whoosh" efect.

SNOWBELLY:
the delayed gain is very real and i think i know why it happens, well its a theory anyway
