chapter 1

I had finally retired from the reserves and could now relax, especially about my weight. Being a reservist I had to stay in shape and I was weighed and measured twice a year. After nearly twenty five years I was ready to let go.

One afternoon my wife, Katie, and I were hanging out. She asked, “Nat do you have a bucket list?” I thought for a moment, “Yah honey I do, I want to go sailing in Sydney harbor in Australia, I would like to build a boat and one other thing.” Katie replied, that sounds pretty good honey, but what is the other thing?” She asked. I looked over at my gorgeous, one hundred and ninety pound wife, “I really want to gain weight.” She looked at me, “Really Nat, you want to gain weight? Well how much do you want to gain?” She asked. I patted my fairly flat belly. “This is going to sound weird, but I want to get a really huge round belly and a fat butt.” I replied. “Wow, honey I never thought you would want to get fat. You have taken good care of yourself and ran everyday since even before we were married.” “Yeah, I know it sounds really weird, but the thought of getting a huge belly and fat rear really turns me on. Not to mention the thought of finally being able to eat whatever I want and how much I want.”

Katie looked at me for a minute. “Nat, you really deserve to have your fantasy come true. I know I have been overweight since our first child was born and you never complained. I know you are into heavier women, but still you have been super supportive of me. I will help you, gain weight.” “Really Katie, you don’t think I am some sort of freak!” “No honey I don’t. I know you like to stick out your modest little belly, and you wear bikini style briefs. I really think you are programed to want a big belly and be fat!” “So you won’t mind if I get a huge belly and get really fat and lazy?” I asked. “No Nat I won’t mind at all, you can get as big a belly as you want and get as fat as you want and I will support your decision!”

Katie never told me she was shrieking to herself “Yes, Yes, I can now finally fatten him up! I have been weighting to stuff him like a goose since we got married! I am going to fatten Nat up until he is bigger than my dad was!”

Later that day while I was outside, Katie started calling cruise lines. She remembered her brother and his family went on a cruise and they all gained weight. She called the line her brother went on. They had a cruise leaving for the South Pacific soon and it was for two weeks! Her brother said they were only on a one week cruise!

The next day I stopped running in the mornings. Katie brought me a huge breakfast in bed and I stuffed myself and then slept in. Around ten o’clock in the morning Katie came into our room. I was lying in bed being totally lazy rubbing my stuffed belly. She giggled, “Enjoying yourself, Nat?” I chuckled, “Yeah Babe I am. You sure know how to stuff a guy! What’s up?”

“Nat I have an idea to really jump start your growing a big belly. Let’s take one of those cruises. Remember my brother and his family took one. He said they all gained weight, there was so much food all the time. What do you think honey?” “Katie that’s an awesome idea, I could really pack on some serious pounds. Those cruise lines practically feed you twenty-four/seven!” “Good, because I already booked us. We leave on Tuesday for two weeks!”

We arrived late on Tuesday in Los Angles to meet the ship. We would be cruising the South Pacific. After a shuttle ride from the airport we boarded the ship and went to our assigned cabin. The steward showed us all the amenities and mentioned were right next to the passageway to the dining areas. The cabin was already stocked with rich treats. He said those get re-stocked everyday with fresh treats, so be sure to eat as many as we like. I tipped him and he left us to get changed and go up on deck and have dinner.

I had brought my collection of “Speedo” brief swimsuits and Katie insisted that I wear one right now. “Nat I know you really want to wear those and show off your soon to be growing belly, so go ahead and wear a short tight t-shirt too.” I did and they became my uniform for the whole cruise. I hit the treats in our cabin at Katie’s insistence, “Nat we are here for you to get fat, so eat up!” I ate several pastries and chocolates before we left for the casual dining area. We arrived at the dining area, which was adjacent to the pool, which was great because I did not want to wear anything but briefs and t-shirts. An adorable plump little hostess sat us at a table and explained the buffet, “It is of course all you can eat so enjoy your selves, if you need anything, your waitress is Karen.”

Katie and I went up to the buffet and loaded our plates, especially mine. We sat back down and Karen came over to our table, “Hi, my name is Karen and I will be your server this evening. It looks like you found the buffet and plates okay, how about something to drink? Oh I almost forgot, do either of you have any goals or concerns about your weight?” Katie giggled, “Yes Karen, Nat wants to gain weight, especially on his belly and his butt!” Karen smiled, “Great, you will love this cruise, we specialize in really rich heavy food and our kitchen and dining facilities are open twenty-four hours a day. So back to my first question, what would you like to drink?” Katie spoke up, “Something nice and fattening for Nat, he wants all the calories he can get!” “Nat how about a rich milk shake to drink?” “Karen a milk shake would be great.” I replied.
