I exercised some portion control today for breakfast. I didn't get a 4th Minibon or a second Oreo Frappe. Limited myself to a light 3780 calorie breakfast.

J8o8h8n:
I've noticed something that's happening after days of stuffing myself full of fast food. When I try to take a bit of a break from it, I get the strong urge to get some. Like today, on my drive home from work I was hungry, and it took an absurd amount of willpower to not take a detour to get more McDonald's. Honestly, I might go out in a few to get some lol.

Is this something else other people have dealt with before? I imagine this is how people end up not being able to stop gaining.

MVP76:
fast food is particularly addictive as its formulated to be so.

Munchies:
It's not formulated to be addictive. It doesn't need to be. People like fatty foods high in salt and sugar. The only thing they formulate is how to preserve the food, which has no impact on it being addicting or not.

You'll notice similar effects if your do your own cooking, but use a lot of fat, salt, amd sugar.

MVP76:
it's certainly hard to beat the quick convenience of a fast food meal.

you can should do the complete household chores for her because clean up the house is much work and is burning to much calories. Ig you can afford it encourage her to quit her job. So she has much more time to stay at home and get bigger.

Yeah Learned that too. The eagerness of gaining can sometime be a trap. It's sometimes good to listen to your body and slow down. I opt for making sure I eat high calories meals even if I don't stuff myself. I also make sure all of the ingredients I use to cook at home are the highest calorie options, eg peanut butter cereal, butter, white bread, white rice etc. I do stuff occasionally and I make sure to drink weight gain shakes every night during my heavy cream cycles

Munchies:
Just wanted to add to this that nutrition is extremely important. A lot of people think that if you eat a lot or are very fat, it's impossible to be malnourished. That can't be further from the truth.

Your body needs a lot of different nutrients to function properly. If you don't get everything you need, you're body won't be able to function as it should. On top of all that, high-fat diets can make it harder to absorb things correctly.

So, it's extremely important to proceed with caution.

J8o8h8n:
I know I've been taking multivitamins more frequently than I used to and I periodically take a break from eating a bunch of fast food to eat a bit healthier. I definitely have been eating less healthy than I used to though (it comes with eating 5000-6500+ calories most days since starting my gaining challenge). I'll probably ease up a bit at the end of the challenge, but it's seeming more and more likely I'll never go back to eating how I did before the challenge (or be the size I was before the challenge lol).

Hi. I’ll make you a immobile hog my dear. 🐽🙂

I find this idea strangely fascinating not sure why. Dunno how much storytelling potential or not there is.

Once a glutton always a glutton takes a lot of work to get out of those habits.

J8o8h8n:
Honestly, it's kind of exciting that the initial intentional stuffings are sometimes turning into genuine cravings and it feels so good to give in and satisfy the cravings. Honestly a part of me is still slightly worried about gaining and not being able to stop, but I find myself worrying less and less about it and I've even had the thought to keep gaining after the 30 day challenge is over and continue to satisfy my cravings and expand them until my next doctor's appointment in November 😅

Munchies:
It's all about balance. Of course, it will take a little time to find your balance. But the end goal should be indulging your cravings without screwing up your health so much that you have to stop. The last thing any gainer wants is to gain a mere 40 lbs and get too sick to continue.

J8o8h8n:
That's very true. It's part of why on days where I feel like I've overdone it, I try to eat a bit healthier (which I do, but I still end up sneaking a few treats in to push myself over the typical recommended calorie count for the average person). Like today I'm definitely not downing almost 3000 calories worth of shake like I did yesterday with my 1500 calories dinner, but I did end up having 4 Minibons with a mostly healthy rest of the day (pushing my overall calorie count to about 2500 on a day where I wasn't trying to gain).
