I am always conscious of how much my belly protrudes and low it hangs, how some stationary objects in everyday life interact. Like a latch on gate that once grazed below then brushed underside of gut and now buries into flub below my bellybutton. Countertops, table, lower cabinet doors, low railing my belly currently brushes. Pinching on edge of desk, how many stairs are obscured, and underwear, touching steering wheel when braking, now kissing.

Trying on old clothes is always a treat. Also what the underhang will hold starting with pens and markers way back when, hides a pack of cigarettes, will hold an empty soda can, almost has enough weight to pin a full. Hide a 20oz bottle... Goal is a whole 2 liter.
My own hands make fair measurements of growth, use to be able to touch the crease with fingertips with thumb in bellybutton now can't quite curl under fat roll. Reaching beyond lowest curve, soon won't be able to cup in my palm anymore. Going to miss that when I'm grabbing the sides in order to lift for proper rinse in shower.

Future goal is to one day strain myself reaching bellybutton to poke with finger and jiggle. Nevermind being able to touch the flub hanging below let alone easily reach underneath. Got about length of my hand from wrist to fingertips to grow. Other goals include belly plopping on floor between thighs when doing stretches. Filling sink, bounce and sway against thighs, someday fill my lap.

Miachu:
I don't believe it's cheating tbh, deep down I think he's just a little lost when it comes to the relationship and accepting change. I'm the first person he's dated after all. But I do feel he also doesn't know how to handle/accept a partners sexual preferences, and in all fairness to him. Wanting to get fat is something rather strange to people outside the community[/quote]

Strange or not you deserve respect, he is entitled to his personal preferences but that doesn't excuse being an ass about your weight. Depending on your height doesn't sound like you've even gained that much yet.

Pure speculation, but societal pressure alone could be causing some feelings of insecurity that he's not sure how to handle. Or won't allow himself to admit, and maybe authentically experience the plus sides to your new curves, causing this hostility.
In the end you need to be true to yourself and what makes you happy, if he is reacting this way now... How will he feel in another 10 20 or even 50 pounds?

Give him some time and space then if he can't have an open honest conversation about his feelings or how you both might reach a compromise... You sadly might need to cut your losses and move on. Best of luck.

I have experienced very similar changes despite my weight staying exactly the same for most the past year or so. Like a delayed gain months after I initially hit 270+ but scale didn't budge. Guessing my body just took a bit longer to accumulate\distribute the fat I'd gained. Tape measure confirmed and marked another notch, belly sagged a bit more too.

Now a recent fluctuation has changed shape and much softer (consistency) now jello. Lost about 8 to 11 pounds from April to June and noticed my belly hung a little more, deflated like. Had multiple people mention it looked like I'd actually gained a little weight, asked my best friend and sister outright opinions. Was down about 9 pounds then. Both confirmed I looked softer and that belly droop more.

Been working hard to get back over 270 past month or so. Now 272 and belly is not quite the same compared to this spring. Softer, wobbly and sways a little when I walk now. Also have a ton fresh stretch marks despite gaining back weight accidently lost. Just my experience.

Twin Cities area.
Anyone else looking forward to the great MN get together. We should try and get a group together for the State Fair, do an all day fried food crawl?

This is where slumber party culture comes in handy later in life 😂😂 get the girls together for some self care and good times, keep the alcohol flowing. Trouble is convincing your bestie to clip your nails or do full pedicures lol

I got a hangnail on left pinky toe (righty) and bad ankles, it's a bitch. Right foot slightly more accessible and fairly flexible but struggle is real. Shaving legs is rough too, recently found it harder to get tops thighs as my hangs lower.

I am attempting the same. Was doing really good for a couple my months, cut down by half and then half again... Major willpower, and hours or torment B4 allowing myself a half cigarette. Only 4 a day then back to my old habits. Actually using weight gain side effects as incentive while not overheating on purpose or replace as another vice. Now I'm starting from scratch and it's hard... Going to need patches this time, just can't fathom going cold turkey.

20 or 30 pounds as a consequence is just icing on the cake. Hope to quit and hit a milestone or two next by the fall season

I basically float now, only tested once this summer and can't wait to get in the water again. Boyant enough to hold completely still for a solid minute, and not sink below the neck. Hardly any effort to stay afloat compared to summers past.

Achievement Unlocked 😉

Also love the heavy almost weak knees feeling when you get out of pool or lake after spending time up to your chest in water. Long enough to forget how heavy you actually are, this surprised me on vacation a few years ago. Weighs you down

This is exactly where I'm at tonight, been eating really good past few days and totally stuffed myself this evening. Burpy and laying back trying to relieve some of the pressure, hurts so good. It's been a couple hours since I topped off after large dinner and still very bloated. Hoping I can manage some pudding before I go to bed.
Going to sleep with an aching gut and waking up to feel hollow cavern, starving and grumbling to be filled back up has been a cycle this week. Up about 5 pounds on an empty stomach since last weekend.

5x shirt, super stretchy pants a couple body pillows, one tucked halfway into pants, pair of squashmellow pillows on sides and big square pillow about size of large couch cushion on front. Finishing touch is a kids beanbag chair cradled in a Snuggy (blanket w/ sleeves) the bottom corners tucked up into pants. Hangs free of upper padding below knees and beanbag touches floor when sitting on edge of couch or low chair.
