30 pounds of fat mostly to my belly and mostly in a three month window when I was working around Italian food, in other restaurants when I wasn't and snacking on street food every day. Then my system ramped up to compensate and I have only managed a further 5, although Xmas is surely helping. Maybe I can hope for another 20 in the coming months.

I got them when I first gained a few years back on my love handles. Pretty awkward/amusing explaining why i have them there especially when I was thinner, "oh yes I overrate for weeks until I had a belly".

Honestly, stuffing with sugar, fat and carbs. Every day. At first it'll seem like you are just getting too full every day, right up until the precise moment you realise your belly isn't going down in the mornings. That moment came about 2-3 weeks in for me.

Bartender here, if the place is quiet and I'm taking it easy any classic cocktail, vodka or whiskey based, bitter or sweet depending on mood, no fruit or seizure colours, if it's packed any beer does. Just not coors.

One of these days I will buy myself a chocolate cake of some description and tear into it like an animal, long thought about it and curious about how heavy and swollen my belly would get, just need the right circumstances

London based and newly turned fatty here, also happen to be travelling around but on home turf for a bit!

I'm not into vore personally but there was a very interesting episode of Hannibal where a certain psychiatrist, under the guise of a dark dinner party joke, openly reveals to a guest that he is feeding an acquaintance figs and nuts to improve the flavour of her meat.

That definitely caught my attention and of course my feedist mind changed it into her being slowly fattened up with class and just realising his intentions then.

The eating her part doesn't do anything for me though haha.

I can relate to this, in the past I would gain from slim to chubby and then flip one day and start losing, partly because of groundless concerns of what peers would think, especially when I was younger and partly because the most visible change seems to happen that weight range.

Now I'm in the middle of another gain and I feel like I am just about fatter than ever, however this time being a little older and vaguely wiser (as if) I am more willing to keep going. It seems now I have learned not to care so much about what others on the outside think, and even if its a negative reaction its only words and they soon get over it (plus its kind of a turn on to be berated for letting myself go!).

Also I agree on the sentiment on changing perceptions. It seems each time I gain I get slightly fatter than before, then that becomes the benchmark for the next time. Right now every new pound will push me further than I have been before and that has me excited!

Right now, city of London!

I love that the UK seems to be becoming more tolerant of fatness. Many girls in their 20's have gained a bit now and most aren't dieting as they are accepting their new curves thanks to larger girls in media. One of my friends used to be stick thin and barely ate, now she is plumper (not fat) and makes no effort to hide it, even being one the first to suggest desserts at meals out.

I think swimming pools can be the best places to get used to new gains. There is something about having your belly out in the open and bare for all to see, no shirt to hide it and displaying your overindulgence.

If you try and suck in when you have a bigger belly I find its kinda obvious that you're trying to hide it, so letting it out and taking the comments may be the best course to take at a pool/beach.

Swim shorts that fit are good if you are uncomfortable coming out as a fatty like that, but I liked wearing my size S ones that barely stayed fastened with my gut hanging over, sure drew a few looks and remarks!
