Eating healthier

After gaining about 65lbs in the last 9 months, I've finally hit a point that my body isn't happy with me.

I feel tired, sluggish etc.

I am about to change my strategy. I want to still gain, but in a much healthier way. i.e. less fast food.

I know what I've done to myself. I knew I'd reach this point. Surprised it took as long as it did.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to keep gaining while being healthier?

Pooh friendly rides

My family is going to Disney World in a few days.

I've heard that most of their rides are Pooh Friendly. Meaning they're okay for plus sized people.

Firstly, I love the term secondly has anybody here gotten first gand experience?

I know if I were to go to my local amusement park, I would not fit on mosy rides. My big, round gut would be in the way of saftey bars and belts.

Finally talked to my wife about my weight.

HRHB15:
There is something about acknowledging it for me, that seems to bring a sort of peace with it. In the past few days, I’ve mentioned to a few friends and family members that I have needed to get larger clothes. I feel like it sort of wards off the idea that I may be oblivious to my expanding size.

I also was probably the most direct I have ever been with my doctor recently at my annual physical by saying that I am not unhappy being fat and that I am confident with the weight I have gained. I felt so much better. I’ve always played a bit dumb and given excuses as to why my weight has fluctuated. But not doing that this time really made me feel good.


This is great!

64 pounds in eight months? What’s your recipe for success?


Eating haha.

I was eating about 4500 calories a day a few months ago. I'm hovering around 3000 now. A lot of the foods I eat aren't the healthiest. Plus I used to be fat so I guess I woke a sleeping giant.

To be honest I am quite surprised at gaining 64lbs this quickly. When I started my journey, I was hoping to reach 275lbs in 5 years. Slow and steady gaining.

Instead I've gained 80% of the weight needed to reach the goal in 8 months. Oops.

Kacchan:
Why do you think you have a hard time talking about it with her?


I'm not sure. I suppose it's along the lines of social acceptance. She wouldn't understand that I actually enjoy this.

Finally talked to my wife about my weight.

It's no secret that I've gained weight. Hard to hide when you gain 64lbs in 8 months. But I hold my cards close to my chest in regards to talking about gaining.

I am going on vacation next week and needed to buy a couple shirts because my summer clothes are way too tight. I've recently graduated to the big boy store because I don't fit into clothes at normal stores. I was able to find a few things, but not as many as I hoped.

Today, I mentioned to my wife that I will have to buy some clothes while we're on vacation. I opened up that I need to go to plus size stores because I can't find anything that fits me. I had never discussed that before. She's good with it, not that I expected anything different. But as I mentioned, I don't talk about my gains.

I like being big and don't see that changing any time soon. But even just by saying I need bigger clothes, I felt a big relief. I don't know why I'm not comfortable discussing it with her, but I'm glad I did. She doesn't care, she's seen me big and small and all points in between.

All this is to say, that after I tall with her, it made me feel better. I've eaten a ton today and can see myself gaining more now that its more in the open.

Tree trunk legs

Something I've noticed in my current gain compared to previous ones is most of the gain has gone to my gut.

Last time I weighed this much I was bigger all over my body. This is especially noticeable in my legs and calves specifically.

I don't know if it is because of the speed in which I've gained (almost 60lbs in 7 months). Whereas before I had a quick 30lbs and then slowly gained the rest...or at least slower.

Will lugging around this extra weight eventually build up my legs? I know weight gain is mostly calories in and calories out, but could I gain more weight from that extra muscle? Or would my body just redistribute the weight I have? All assuming, of course, I eat more or less the way I have for the past 7 months or so.

Story behind your username?

My name is fairly straightforward.

NoMo(re)YoYo(dieting).

I've gained and lost weight so many times over the years, I lost count. I just want to gain and then maintain. I don't want to lose any more.

Plus its a fun little rhyme.

Polite things people say

Morbidly A Beast:
people really like to talk about their diets and recommend them for no reason unsolicited


I had this happen just last night. It's never happened to me before. I guess I'm getting pretty fat.

Just going for it

J8o8h8n:
Sounds like fun. I definitely find myself going back and forth on gaining. Stuffing are a lot of fun though lol.


They sure are!

Try gaining a bit. Then decide whether you like it and go from there.
