When I read that your belly button hemorrhage ruptured I winced. I can't imagine the amount of pain you were in and how scary that had to be too. Gaining that much weight in such a short amount of time is extremely dangerous, I'm glad you're still here with us and are down to a more manageable weight.

I love feeling my stomach get bigger and seeing my body grow too!

I was a overweight kid. I really gained weight when I was in middle school, but my grandmother forced me to lose the weight I gained. I wasn't happy about that since I didn't like exercising and I liked being fatter. (It wasn't much of a secret, I know I mentioned that my wife is the only one that knows I have this fetish, but I used to be open about wanting to be fat when I was in middle/high school and I probably shouldn't have said anything. :V) I was never obese, just slightly overweight until I discovered this website.

My wife is the only person that knows I have this fetish. She knows I've been purposely gaining weight, and she knows how much I love her body as well since she's a big woman. I don't feel the need to tell others, I'm sure my coworkers have noticed I gained some weight since I first started but a good number of my coworkers are on the heavier side and probably just keep the comments to themselves. Once you see someone daily, the weight probably doesn't shock others anymore up to a point. Now if I was to see my grandmother who I haven't seen in 16 years, I know she would probably have to take a double take and would probably want me to lose weight since she was concerned about the weight I gained when I first joined this community when I was in my early 20's and I'm about 100 lbs heavier now than I was when I first joined the community.

Feeling my stomach getting larger and seeing it stick out more and more turns me on. Also feeling and seeing new stretch marks does it too.

I've been into gaining weight for a long time. I remember watching Rugrats and seeing Angelica really fat and I wanted to get super fat someday. I discovered the community in 2010 after someone made a Sonic 2 Rom hack that made Sonic get fatter each time he collected onion rings and someone on Sonic Retro pointed me to another gaining forum that was already dying by the time I joined so I looked for other communities and found Fantasy Feeder! (The name of the hack is Sonic 2 XL btw.)

Lately I've noticed that I've been getting out of breath a little bit if I have to walk from my machine to the front of the office. That's something new to me and I love it haha.

I was able to drink cream in the past and it helped me gain. The last time I tried drinking it mixed with a off brand boost it really upset my stomach, to the point where I almost threw up in the middle of the night. I did chug my shake before bed so that probably didn't help. Now I mainly gain by eating junk food and drinking lots of soda. I unfortunately don't have a working freezer right now otherwise I would be gaining by eating melted ice cream, which I prefer to do over than using heavy cream. I know you can add cream to dishes but I don't cook.

I can understand that you're conflicted. I was a bit too before I started to gain weight, I wondered how others would treat me when they seen me getting bigger. But that feeling washed away the older I got and I told my wife about me gaining weight. What I suggest is, talk to your partner about this. See what he has to say and if he's on board, dip your toes into it and gain a little bit and see how you feel about it. If it's for you and you want to get fatter, go for it but if you find out this isn't for you, then lose weight or stay at the weight you end up at.

I gained some weight when I went through my first puberty, I loved it but my grandmother was concerned so she made me lose weight. Then when I was 20, I discovered this site and starting intentionally gaining weight since I was an adult. I've been gaining off and on since, I'm really pushing myself right now and I'm trying to get to at least 230 lbs. before September 1st since that's when I see my endocrinologist. Last time I weighed myself I was 219 lbs. but it's hard for me to get an accurate reading at my house since I believe my house might be unleveled since I live on a hill. The number changes whenever I move the scale to a different part of the house. :V
