Whenever I'm out with my friends they always joke about how much prettier I would look if I was skinny. But one time at Starbucks an employee said, "Wow, you're really cute!" We flirted for a while and exchanged numbers but then when I moved away from the counter and he saw my chub he glared at me and later texted me saying 'Don't ever speak to me again, fat bitch'. Have you ever been verbally attacked because of your weight?

I'm a pasta cooker!

I don't think a single meal can actually make a person fatter, but falling into an habit can.

Me and my girlfriend had a difficult period in the past (too much work..). She had very little time left, so I started doing the cooking every night.

It was weird initially, because I never had to do it, so I didn't really know from where to start. I thought pasta was easy enough and so I tried.

I was delighted to see she liked it. I tried different recepes with vegetables, meat and cheese. She also bought me a book of Pasta recepes.

I started following the indications, and cooking 80 grams of Paste each.

Seeing how much she enjoyed it I went up to 100 gr, then 120.. After a few months I was regularly cooking 150 gr of Pasta for her every day. I was heaping her dish with the first portion, and then asking her if she had liked it and maybe wanted a "small" second helping.. the answer usually was "wow, I think that was enough, but maybe a just an extra bit..".

I couldn't believe my girlfriend was eating twice the size suggested on that book! I have to confess that I was getting excited watching her polishing her dish, knowing she was overeating on a daily basis.

You have to think that my girlfriend used to be a small thing for most of her life. Natural skinny would have been her definition. By the time I started cooking she had already shown that she enjoyed her meals, and wasn't that skinny anymore. She was just average.. around 140 lbs at 5'7"..

Then, indulging in my big portions became an habits.. a few friends noticed, and since she told them I was doing the cooking at home they joked I must have been a very good one.

She started complaining about the bloating feeling, pants getting thight, and feeling a bit sleepy some times after my pasta at lunch.. I asked her if she wanted me to cook just half portion, but she said "well, no.. just cook as usual.. then we'll see.."

It was difficult for her to say no once she fell into the habit!

Then one of her friends asked her bluntly how much weight she had put on and said that it was noticeable on her belly. She was a bit humiliated. She checked on the scales and was horrified to see she was 160 lbs (20 pounds gained in one year). She said she was too fat, and started dieting.

Anyhow, I think my regular greasy pasta meals was the last straw that broke the camel's back for her figure.. because even though she was able to lose almost all of those 20 pounds after her "shock".. that didn't last long. One year later she was back to 160 lbs, and this time it didn't come as a shock. She simply said "ok, diets don't really work on me.. I'm back to where I was!"

And now she would love to be 160.. Last year I've been too good to her, and the scales say she is 175..

So, my recepe for a chubby girlfriend is cheesy pasta!

My first realization I had gained weight came as a cold shower!

I had always been a lean and athletic boy in high school, being a semi-pro athlete I got used to sporting a six pack and getting nice comments about my shape.

Finished high school I moved with my girlfriend in a new town to attend college. We also started playing married life, even though we were just 19 and not married. I knew I was getting much less physical activity but I was happy to see that after 3 months not hitting the gym my six pack was still there.

I was too busy studying and enjoying my new life I guess, my girlfriend was awesome, she took great care of our home, she cooked well, and we couldn't believe how lucky we were sleeping together every night!

One night, few months later, she undressed me and a big smile appeared on her face. She said that she liked me even more than before. I understood she was implying something but couldn't get it, so I asked and she said "You look so cute now that your six pack is gone.. I can't believe how soft you got here!" And she patted my belly.

Yeah, huge cold shower. I said I could go back to the gym, but she convinced me there was no need. I said I should have eaten a bit less, but she kept spoiling me.

Long story short, by next summer not only my six pack was not in sight, but a sizeable layer of fat was covering it. My tummy had started to bunch up into 2 fat rolls when I was sitting, and my girlfriend loved to play with them so much that she gave name to them!

At the beach that year I got many surprised comments, I was so embarrassed but my girlfriend was getting just more excited, many times she just laughed, pat my belly and exclaimed things like she was just too good a cook for me!
