Health challenges
BiggerestBelly:
So I've been trying to gain for a little while now. Ive been stuck between 280 and 300 for over a year now. I keep running into issues where I will begin to gain but as soon as I do my cholesterol and blood pressure start going back up. Does anyone have any experience getting through this and continuing to gain healthily? I hate to think that im stuck being so small.

I know some people have an interest in health issues but it sounds like you don't. I don't either. However, they're inevitable at my size (570l
. All super obese people don't have the same experiences of course, but there's more likely than not going to be *some* issues (e.g. blood pressure, knees, diabetes, loss of mobility, etc.)Several years ago around 370lb., my doctor was very concerned about my blood pressure. For the first time in my life, I intentionally lost weight, ultimately getting down to 190lb. I hated being smaller, although I was still technically obese. I ended up gaining back all the weight plus another 200lb. through massive stuffings and a daily calorie intake consistently above 10,000.
As I was regaining, I was in better health around 400lb. than I had been at my previous high weight, which was 30lb. lighter. It wasn't until I got significantly bigger that I had a health crisis, a heart surgery, and a very clear directive from my medical team to change my eating habits or I wouldn't be here anymore.
I may be deluding myself, but I honestly think, if I had made and maintained dramatic lifestyle changes around 400lb., I could have avoided some of my issues while still gaining, albeit at a much slower pace. Things I might have done differently:
- Walk and move my body much more, maybe even lifted some weights
- Made my most massive stuffings (20K to 30K calories) a special event every couple of months instead of a weekly occurrence. God knows my fiance and I would have more money on our honeymoon fund.
- Eaten a surplus of healthy calories every day instead of existing off pizza, fried food, pasta, pies, etc
I truly believe if I had taken the steps above, the impact my gain had on my health might have been lessened. These might be options for you.
To be clear, I don't regret getting this fat. I wish I had the option of getting bigger. And I actually don't regret the stuffing experiences I had either. They were damn hot, and I fantasize about them all the time. What *wasn't* fun was having heart surgery, struggling with access to medical care because of my size, and scaring the shit out of my fiance, who blamed himself, from his point of view, for letting our fetish reach an extreme that could have killed me. It's absolutely NOT his fault. He's dominant when it comes to sexy times, but I'm actually more likely to push my body past signs of distress when stuffing. Every pound and calorie was 100% because I wanted it. We're still working through his misplaced guilt
I said all that not to discourage you, but to say I think it's smart you're paying attention to your body's warning signs. I don't think you have to stop gaining, but keep your body moving. Drink water. Eat plenty of healthy foods to get to your calorie surplus, and make the fast foods or stuffings, if you're into that, a special treat to spur on your gain.
Very best of luck to you
