When I first started getting bigger she warned me that she wasn't into "muscle dudes". But the more I've packed on, the more she likes it. I wonder if it's for simliar reasons; makes her feel feminine and not so 'huge'.

Yeah, my winter bulk cycle is in full swing right now, lol.

She loves the contrast of my muscles. But she does get insecure only when seeing old friends. Particularly friends that haven't had kids, ultra-skinny, basically haven't aged since they were 22.

We've even had moments where her old co-workers complimented my physique and then turned to her "And you look....... happy!"

Almost all of our neighbors' wives, friends and her current co-workers are quite heavy. So she generally doesn't think about her weight all that much anymore. Everything is relative. She's the thin girl in the group when you're around 300lb+ women.

Your hair is thinning, you could ask your doctor for Finasteride. Gynecomastia is a common side effect due to the increase in estrogen. Lot of guys need an aromatase inhibitor to keep their estrogen in check when on it.

Just curious how you handle the ever-growing sedentary lifestyle of your feedee.

I've never been a giant movie watcher myself. So it's always been a struggle for me to plop down for back-to-back-to-back movies with my wife.

As she's grown heavier, the amount of Netflix has grown to a level where she doesn't expect me to always watch with her (7+ hrs a night).

I love cooking for her while she enjoys her shows. But I was just curious if this is a sticky point for you; trying to spend time with your partner but all they do is binge watch TV/video games.

You made a recent post about being put on steroids. Without any specifics, almost all steroids cause raised blood pressure, water retention and multiple other side effects compounded by rapid weight gain.

Have you had your blood pressure checked in the last couple weeks?

Went to the mall on Saturday and the food court was PACKED with 300lb girls in skin tight yoga pants showing every roll stuffing their faces with Sbarro's, Charleys and Auntie Anne's.

No shame was seen that day.

Not me. I love the contrast of my fit body with my wife. I even even get a boost in the gym knowing she's simultaneously sitting on the couch stuffing her face, getting her own workout in, ha.

This recipe is superb. I still can't believe most gainer shakes don't include alcohol. Ounce per ounce it blows away everything, even heavy cream. And your body priorities metabolizing the alcohol for 100% of its energy needs until it's out of your system. Thus any calories you consume while alcohol is in your system is generally stored as body fat.

I would make sure the "weight gain powder" is dextrose or maltodextrin and not some type of overpriced whey protein.

Had a friend in HS on it and she slept ALL the time while on it. She would constantly miss meetups with us because she would doze off after school. Would take 5-6 hr naps, wake up to call us and apologize. Then would go to bed for the night sleeping another 8-9hrs.

Went to a music festival with her, she dropped two hits of acid and then went to bed 6hrs later! We couldn't believe jaw it was physically possible.

And yes, she gained a LOT of weight on it, too. She's still quite heavy to this day.

Not precisely "dumb", but in that realm. As my wife has gotten fat, all she does is binge watch Netflix, eat and drink. She's lost almost all pulse of anything outside of that sphere: Netflix, Prime, snacking.

When we have friends over, she can't even carry a conversation about recent news, politics, world events, culture. Any major news story within the last week and she will almost certainly be the only one in the room that doesn't know about it.

And I've noticed at gatherings she'll generally end up chatting the most with other fat women. And all they talk about are their latest series and food.
