Really enforces the whole Goddess/Princess theme. Your woman is literally wearing tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours of pampering. To be worn as a badge of honor and worship.

Expect to spend a decent amount of money.

Slowing your metabolism down in the context of gaining is fairly tricky to do. I would simply focus on eating a massive caloric surplus - combining meals that are high in fat and carbs.

The phenomenon known as Yo-Yo dieting (when overweight folks become even fatter due to a weight loss diet) is how you slow your metabolism down. Essentially, you must stay in a caloric deficit (cause weight loss) for an extended period. The body slows its metabolism since it's, in a sense, starving. When one has dieted/fasted for a while the metabolism slows to a crawl.

So how does a person become even fatter while on a weight loss diet? If one is trying to lose weight you then need to slowly "reverse-diet" for many weeks to properly end a diet (add 200 calories a week to slowly get your metabolism up while keeping fat off). BUT..... what do most people with weight problems do? They break their diet and start binge eating and/or move directly to eating their "normal" portion sizes again. Because their metabolism is at a crawl, they will rapidly pile on weight and regain what took many months to lose often in a few weeks.

After ending up fatter than they were before the diet, they will then attempt to lose the weight again by moving into a caloric deficit which further slows their metabolism down even more. This perpetuates the Yo-Yo cycle that leads to rapid fat gain whenever they cave and break their diet.

Alcohol has also shown to slow the metabolism by up to 73%. And numerous anti-psych medications have a dramatic impact on metabolism.

The AMC series this summer was really good, too. Solid acting, dark and savagely funny, wit and Plum is hot.

The moment a good writer realizes chapters can only be a few paragraphs long (and doesn't even prompt you when your material is being cut off) they probably head for the door....

Pretty sure there is no such thing as a happy cheerleader. The ruthless backstabbing culture is the basis for every cheerleader movie ever made.

Oh, not you – the idea of purposely fattening your kids is what drew my ire. Hell, I have personal confliction at times for even having a fattening wife and the example that is for the kids.

Rubbed me the wrong way. I've made threads in the past here regarding cooking different meals for your spouse and kids; what my wife and I agree she'll eat is often different from what we serve our children as we want them at a healthy weight.

Children do not have the emotional tools and capacity to handle being overweight and the social disconnection/bullying it often yields.

I think the topic at hand is the opposite: the children that eat like birds and the garbage disposal gainer mom that puts it all away.

At a music festival a couple years ago I'm sitting beside our tent with my buddy and there's all of these topless skinny girls walking by. I opened up regarding how I didn't find a lot of the girls attractive and how my wife had gained a lot of weight , I discovered I love her figure and am a dyed-in-the-wool FA.

I felt vulnerable - I had never told another friend before and he was pretty straight laced. He then responds that he has the same sentiments and that he recently hooked up with some SSBBW dominatrix off the internet. And his wife was supportive of it.

My jaw hit the floor and I was speechless. Was like "well, you have me beat, haha!!"
