Minimal walking and one that has a level of public interaction that makes you relish lunch time. Basically, you’re satisfying your need for pleasure by eating a lot for lunch due to how busy you are during work.

For me, an attraction to larger figures began quite early. My first memory of encountering fat was a regained memory told to me years after the fact by my mother. I would play with the arm fat of any female relative when I was a toddler and was being held. I’m told my grandmother slapped me one time for doing it.

As I often tell when I share mine and my wife’s gaining story, I truly felt the attraction to chubby girls starting in middle school and on into high school. I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was out of high school (wasn’t ever part of the clique, as they say), but nothing turned me on like a pair of chubby cheeks, chubby upper arms or big thighs. Chubby bare feet still turn me on as well :-) And in adulthood, big soft bellies really get me going :-)

Happy for your current journey 👍

I’ve always loved telling mine and my wife’s gaining story — always love seeing these “origin story” threads :-)

In young adulthood, I felt the attraction to chubby girls starting in middle school and on into high school.

My first steady girlfriend wasn’t all that fat to start out with, but over five years we ate well enough to fill out the both of us. Her arms and belly puffed out mightily; probably gained at least 50 pounds being with me.

Another five-year relationship followed when I moved to another state. She was already heavy, about 5-6 and anywhere between 220 and 270 over the course of that time. She was insecure about it and, along with being bipolar and in denial about it, never really relaxed and enjoyed her own existence, much less her luscious figure.

I met my wife 10 years ago now, at a concert. Mutual friend of ours made sure we were both there. The friend figured we both needed to stumble upon each other after going through such rough previous relationships. I can still remember the first time I saw her short, 5-3 figure walking upon the rest of our friend group to meet up. A black blouse cut low to emphasize what I would eventually find out were 46 DDD breasts. Cute, chubby face and such a soft touch with everything. I was smitten, though it was another year before we started dating officially.

I was slowly but steadily getting a big ol’ ball belly during these years. A big, hard visceral fat basketball belly! She sure hasn’t minded, being a big girl herself for so long now. She was actually a tiny teen, just with out-of-proportion breasts for what was then her figure. I just recently saw pics of her at 13 that I hadn’t seen before. It’s truly amazing how petite and skinny she was before puberty and the rest of her teen years.

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 health-related issues with certain meds’ effects on her. Three years later, she had the depo shot for birth control and got pregnant (and fatter) anyway with her second child. Wish I’d have known her then so I could have witnessed her body change. Her waistline and belly just exploded in size :-) She stopped wearing underwear at a certain point and her back is big and broad with luscious layers of fat all 300+ pound ladies seem to have. Her butt also grew into a full-fledged “buttshelf” during that time. 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. Right now, she’s a proud 345 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.

Most recently, she’s gained something to go along with the pounds — confidence it showing it off! Crop tops and bralettes showing off her soft, pillowy belly are a regular part of her wardrobe now :-) She was once a microcelebrity during the 2000s when podcasting was in its infancy and had her fair share of creeps come on to her onine, so she’s wary of having a profile here. But she’s allowed a few pics on my page here and has loved hearing from those who’ve passed along to me how beautiful she is :-) A lucky few I’ve trusted with seeing her “befores” from several years ago. And so we thank you and hope to see more ladies especially take pride in their fuller figure if they’ve gained like she has :-)

She’s told me she doesn’t ever want to go back to being skinny because she’d be hit on. I had to tell her she’s actually drawing more attention from being fat and it shows :-)

I didn’t start getting my belly until my 30s. It sure came and stuck around even as the number in the scale was a yo-yo at times :-) Hoping I can get back above 200 soon!

For me, it’s any time my weight is up instead of down. My ball belly poofs out from any shirt I try to wear :-) Would love to grow my mini-moobs!

Indeed, being nonjudgmental with oneself and with a partner is key with all this. It took a while to fully verbalize my love of her figure when others didn’t love it. It only made our love stronger and she’s much more confident shaking off her body because I was genuine about it.

Probably what we did tonight at the house — catch a second wind in between pizzas and polishing off a third and fourth whole pizza, respectively :-) My wife can down some pizza, for sure!

I prefer to wear mine under my ball belly so it accentuates it :-) My wife stopped wearing underwear years ago because she simply got too fat for it to be comfy. She wears hers midway up her double belly, mainly to keep up the crease separating upper from lower :-)

It would be a bit of a drive from the Deep South, but my wife and I would love it :-) We’re really wanting to be around more like-minded people for good eats, showing off clothes that show off our bellies and just having a good time with other gainers.
