I have been a subtle encourager for years. Last summer I felt like putting on some weight, which I did. I got up to 230 lbs. My wife who weighs nearly that much herself has never commented on my weight, though I have never brought it up. I know she knows I like heavier women and I do compliment her on her figure. I do fantasize about her becoming a FFA and encouraging me to gain weight, while she gains too. I so wish it were true!

I thought my wife might start to "diet" when our son announced his engagement. She hasn't really stop eating. She does eat a more healthy diet than I do, but she still eats desserts etc. I have always been a subtle encourager and I'm continuing in that roll. She weighs as much as I do, and doesn't seem to be eating more, just the same pace. I make sure there is ice cream, and her favorite cookies around. I gained weight last summer and did nothing to hide my gain from her, she has never mentioned my weight to me.

I think you have a pretty good belly going already. I have a firm belly that sticks out and my love handles flare out over my hips. Sometimes I wish for a softer, flabbier look, you know a bit more jiggle.

I got up to 230 lbs. this past summer. I did enjoy my increased girth, but I did lose about fifteen pounds. It wasn't very easy. I thought I would drop quickly. As pointed out in this post, it is really easy to gain back pounds. I might decide to gain again, though.

I have a forty six inch waist. Not a huge ball belly, yet, anyway. When got near forty eight inches, is was hard to breath when I bent down to tie shoes, etc. Sometimes I do wish to be softer.

I have always been turned on my any weight I have added to my body. I enjoy being in the bathroom, in front of the mirror in tight low cut briefs sticking out my belly. Some of my briefs cut into my round bottom cheeks, riding up creating another roll around the leg openings of the briefs. Quite an enjoyable weigh to start or finish the day.

When I have travelled on business, I usually brought along a "Speedo" bikini cut swimsuit and worn it at the hotel pool. I love to stick out my belly and I have a pretty big bottom/butt too. I have never worn a shirt to the beach or pool except to prevent getting burned. Show it all off!

When I put on a fair amount of weight this past summer (15 lbs.), I noticed I got winded running very quickly. It was hard to bend down and not get a shortness of breath. Sit ups were really hard to do. I had to stop and rest a few times doing them.

I have to say, I envy your lifestyle, good luck and enjoy yourself!

Great photos, really shows off your gain. Thank you for sharing.
