have a bowl of ice cream right before bed and let the calories work while you sleep.
Thats what I did when I would hit a plateau.

What a cute story.

I had calcium build up in my ankles and its was very painful.
I had to loose over 100 pounds before they would operate on me.
Got one done and healed up then they did the other one.
I was still over 200 pounds at the time but healing wasn't to bad or too long.
If I had still been 375+ healing would have been much harder.

I'm short too and as I was gaining the first time people really didn't say anything besides my Mother and she still gets on me about my weight even tho I have lost a bunch.
I started at 115 and really didn't have many comments until I passed 200 lbs.
By that time I had thick thighs and a wide butt.
Love handles too

Depends on your body and how it reacts.
If you don't gain easily I would suspect 20 lbs will be hard to attain in 2 months.

At first maybe but when it gets to the point things that were easy become very hard and limiting your mobility not so much.
I was to the point I could not drive my SUV because I could not fit between the steering wheel and the seat.
It was hard to even step up into it on the passenger side.
I actually broke the seat back on the passenger side trying to squeeze myself in the seat.

I was born in the early 70s and grew up on punk music at home Rocket From The tombs,
The Stooges, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Misfits, New York Dolls. My parents were punk rockers hard core.
Once The Clash came along punk became a far cry from real original punk and punk died off.
Spent a lot of years playing guitar in metal bands doing glam and thrash metal.
More into doing melodic metal these days so if that is alternative count me as one.
EMO isn't alternative its just lame because all they want to do is act like a victim.

I think he was trying to be "edgy" or whatever kids call it now.
Alternative is "instead of" something else so what he meant kind of remains an unknown entity.

What an odd question

Get over it because you don't have the right to force him not to work out if he wants to.
I understand how you feel because I was in that position years ago.
