Chapter 2 - college

Ahhhh college the place where you have total freedom to be who you want to. Do you know what I wanted to be? That’s right the fattest person this college has ever seen. My parents dropped me off after a long flight. I decided to go to school across the country to assure I had the most freedom and found just the place for what I was looking to study. My parents agreed that the next time I saw them would be for Winter break. This meant that I had all of September,October,November, and most of December to gain and I was more than happy. I had a full meal plan which gave me unlimited swipes into the dining hall and I could get as many plates as I wanted and it also gave me access to some of the fast food places on campus. I had a pretty chill roommate who was a little big himself so I knew he would not mind if I put on a few more. I was able to find the right balance between gaining and my studies after the first 2 weeks and things started to really pick up. I decided to just study at the dining hall and do my work then and when I’d finish and assignment or paper I’d go up and get another plate of food.

By the time thanksgiving rolled around the dorms started to clear out and I was one of the few left since I wasn’t going home for break. I thought it’d be fun to spend the whole week eating and not leave my room since my roommate went home. My parents sent me money to get some food for thanksgiving since they felt bad I was not coming home to see them. I saved enough money from my job before I started school to order doordash and Grubhub throughout the week taking advantage of their deals. I found an old tank top to wear and some really loose shorts and plopped myself down on the couch across from the TV where I’d spend the next week. By the time people were about to start showing up to the dorms I decided to get up after spending the week on the couch. I caught a reflection of myself in the mirror and I could not believe what I could see. My shirt was covered in grease stains and sauce from the food and my belly was hanging significantly more over my shorts. I decided maybe it was time to weigh myself so I got on the scale 278 it read. I gained 28 pounds since starting school and there was no sign of slowing it down. I grabbed all the trash from my room and it looked like I was taking out the trash from a whole house with the food I had devoured over the week.

My roommate came back and didn’t say a word about my weight and I was kinda shocked. He looked as if he put a little bit of weight on himself and maybe my habits were rubbing off on him. By now I was totally out of control and there was nothing stopping me. By the time I went home for winter break I got up to 285. Since I was home again and had my car my goal was to reach 300 by the time I had to go back to school for spring semester. I got fast food and I pigged out everyday. Before going back to school I had to get new clothes. This realization came to me when I was going out to get donuts because I was craving them. I got in the car and my khakis absolutely ripped at the seams and it was the last pair of pants I was able to get on. I headed straight to the mall not knowing what options they even had for someone of my size. I was able to find some Xxl’ and I even got a xxxl because who knows what the future holds. I went back to school freshmen 300 pounds and I know was ready to enjoy it. For the rest of the year my weight fluctuated between 300 and 310 nothing to crazy. I finally reached this huge milestone and I wanted to enjoy it. I wanted everything that came with being a man of this size and I was ready for more.

This pretty much continued throughout my sophomore year and I hit a huge milestone. 350 pounds. I was steadily gaining about 25 pounds a semester and I was pretty happy with it. Sudden weight gain is pretty hot but I love enjoying how ever pound makes me feel. Being 350 pounds changed a lot of things for me and what would suck for others was a turn on for me. I never really noticed how hard it was to get up the stairs until I hit 350 pounds. Lugging that weight around all the time was a workout and it also made me notice how much more I was sweating. It would take me way longer to cool down than it used to and it felt like I was always hot. I also had to watch were I sat because I never noticed how much furniture was not stable and how a chair or stool I was sitting in could collapse at any moment. All of this was such a rush for me and made me went to get even bigger and heavier and I wanted it to get even harder to get up stairs or even break a chair while I’m at it.
