Cleaning out old clothes
The problem I have in this is that I have new button up shirts I really like, but probably won't find again. *sigh* Oh well...

Progress, i think! :)
I complain about the scale not moving up. Rather, it fluctuates a couple of pounds up and down. I'm sure I don't eat enough; I've posted before that I don't have much of an appetite due to my pain meds (lumbar fusion). I think they are the culprit.
The non-gaining could also be loss of muscle... I'm a slacked off lazy former weightlifter. I think if I get back in the gym, the lost muscle and appetite will return.
The good news is that my belly is actually growing!
It's been steadily creeping to a current 49 1/2". It's clearly protruding and bulging. I want to get to 52-54", and 44-46 pants (currently 42-44 depending on the pants), and maybe 265 lbs., 240-250 at the least from my current 218-220.
I'm proud of my belly, I love gaining and how fat I've gotten, and how much fatter I want to get. But I have to unlearn sucking it in and holding it in when I sit and walk. Any trick to that, or just make a conscious effort?

New to gaining
Heavyhannah:
Also, speaking of big tummies.
1. Does anyone know why I'm basically only getting huge in my tummy and a bit on my hips? I feel
Like my belly is ballooning instead of spreading out all on my body. Is that normal?
2. How do you get your belly to drop? The more I eat the more mine just sticks out straighter and further and harder, like a toroedo. But I just want it to roll over. Suggestions?
bellylover95:

Yes, it's how we individually store fat. Family genetics and individual hormone activity. My belly is growing but my butt and arms are not accumulating fat the way I'd like. I hope they do.

"over the hump"
AskDrFeeder:
Many feedees report being very conflicted about gaining when they start out.
But after they gain some indeterminate amount--after they "get over the hump"--their doubts about gaining go away.
Reasons can be:
They enjoy it more than they thought.
Whatever they feared about it turns out not to be (much of) a problem.
They realize how hard it would be to change their minds and go back to being thing and so just accept it.
Have you had this experience? How much did you have to gain before you were over the hump? Was it a sudden epiphany or a gradual thing?
If you have any details to share, feel free.

This is me exactly. I was a gymrat; I still love weightlifting but I've gotten lazy. I was a runner long ago. I finished the 1998 Marine Corps Marathon. I was a mountain biker. I still like to walk and should get back to it if for no reason other than health. I was never without more than a little pudge, but I was in shape, and looked it.
Then things changed. Non-gym related injuries and surgeries sidelined all that. I began to get frustrated that I was never going to have the superhero body Of Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman or others. That would be ok except that I got sick 'n tired of dieting: logging food, calculating macros and calories. Absent that I can easily get fat.
I fattened up to 230 (I'm 5' 5"
, then I went on Weight Watchers, went down to 190, and looked like hell. I started gaining again because I slacked off the gym. About 2 years ago I started playing with the idea of getting fatter. Fat guys always turned me on and still do. On one hand I wanted to be like them, on the other hand letting myself go deliberately was terra incognita. I wavered, wondering how gaining weight was going to be received by people. So far my fears have been unfounded. A lot of people I work with have gained weight over the years. A few family members have made comments over the years about my weight fluctuations, so this will be no different.
I'm stalled at about 217, fluctuating up and down a few pounds. I'd love to get to about 265, and get my belly up to 52-54". For as (personally) fatphobic as I used to be I really like gaining and getting fatter.

Losing drive
It started about 5 years ago when I needed a major repair of my rotator cuff. I couldn't workout the way I wanted to, so I slacked off. It continued as my lumbar situation got worse, culminating in a fusion in 2015. I've gone to the gym only a few times since. I do want to get my motivation back, not to lose weight, but to gain back muscle. I want to be a fat muscle guy... or a muscled fat guy.
