Oh yes, it would be noticeable. If you weigh 175 and then to 225 lbs. Your waist will gain several inches, not to mention double chin, thicker thighs and butt. Adding fifty pounds is a 28 % increase in your weight. Really hard not to notice.

I seen information, mainly on the internet the average passenger on a cruise gain 7 lbs. a week. I have written stories about couples taking cruises and gaining huge amounts of weight.

Check around, many bakeries and donuts shops will sell their "day old" stuff at a substantial discount. Some of the big baking companies will have thrift stores that sell the older stuff that didn't sell in stores that their route drivers bring back in.

It has to be voluntary. Tricking someone into doing anything is not unethical, but cruel. I admit to being a subtle encourager, but that is as far as I go. I also believe that your SO is heavy and you enjoy that, you should be as heavy. I have been gaining since retiring from the military reserves, now that I don't have to be in shape any more, I'm gaining, as much for my own pleasure as gaining to support my wife.

I have to say my appreciation for my own gain, maybe innate. I'm an FA, my wife is over two hundred pounds, and I'm about forty pounds overweight. I love the feel of my belly lying on my thighs and sticking out my belly is a joy.

I really don't like to post my stories on this site. The character limits are very annoying. I just tried to add a story. Part of it got cut off, over the limit. When I went to post the remainder, it was too small, less than 2000 characters. It was such a hassle, I just deleted it.

I rarely have issues up loading stories to deviant art, only the very longest stories have to be broken down into chapters.

This just makes it a much slower process to upload, sorry.

I don't know about Great Briton or Europe in general, but in the US, we have an ageing population, which is far more prone to become overweight. I'm a casual gainer, deliberate sometimes, but truly it is a lot harder to keep the pounds off as I age. I'm still quite active, but I still gain very easily.

I do have a firm, round, bulging belly, but I'm afraid it is as much a matter of genetics as what you may or may not eat and how much. Sorry.

There may also be a genetic disposition to stretch marks. I have been gaining and I have totally avoided getting stretch marks. I have only gained around fifteen pounds, but I have rapidly gained several pounds in a matter of days. I'm quite old, so I do gain easily.

Sounds like a great day to me. I have eaten over 3500 cals. in a single meal. I don't think it is that difficult to eat over 5000 calories a day. Especially if you drink a lot of sweetened regular soda. It adds hundreds of calories, and not very filling. Good luck.
