Still at 198lbs. Got a rather intensively physical job and after a week of doing it, have actually lost some flab but gained some muscle. My belly's a little flatter - I'm going to have to start eating more or I'm going to start going backwards...

29 April 2011

After almost of week of eating extra meals and snacks, my belly's firming up and starting to round out and feel tight again.

Just weighed myself: 198 pounds and counting (upward)...

25 April 2011

So a status update:

Sadly, I'm down to 196 pounds. It seems weird to say "down to" 196, seeing as most of my life I've been working upward toward such a grand number. And over the last few months I've really gotten accustomed to being this big. It just feels natural now (whereas before anything over about 185 felt awkward because I just wasn't yet used to how my body mass was changing)

On the plus side, I've only dropped down a few pounds and should be able to make up for lost time.

I started tonight by eating a somewhat huge Easter dinner. If past experience proves correct, I should be able to gain very easily back up to 202 or so. The body does seem to remember (and... in my case apparently...quite enjoy) getting fatter.

I know I've been all over the map on this one but I've decided to move in baby steps because that's really what seems to be working. Small gains that add up to a much bigger gain (with periods of small losses when life gets busy). Much like a glacier, even though it's going slowly and even sometimes backwards, still there IS progress being made.

And looking at my latest profile picture, I know I want to fill out that belly and lose that flatness around the navel. I figure a steady, constant gain is the ticket (2 lbs a week or so).

I know that doesn't seem like a lot (even to me) but I also don't want to get into the whole binge eating, getting sick, and then walking away from it for months. I really have had the most success with slow steady gains. And really, in the end, what sticks around is what matters.

Also, if you do the math, 2 lbs a week, steadily for a year, works out to 104 lbs (for a total of 300 lbs)

Not sure if I ever want to be 300 lbs though. There is a point at which quality of life becomes an issue when you get too fat and I don't want to cross that line.

My best estimate for the size I want to be is about 250 lbs total. For a guy 5'6", that translates into being quite round indeed. I also intend to start a workout program which hopefully will help my belly be rounder and firmer than perhaps it would be if I were to simply sit around and let nature take its course.

Short term goal: 205 lbs. That will be a gain of 9 pounds (and three pounds heavier than I've ever been). After that I'm hoping to capture pictures of every five pounds after that (every two to three weeks if all goes according to plan) to show a smooth progression of me fattening up.

Wish me luck! This has turned out to be much harder than I ever thought it would be.

Every time I look at how fat I've already become (though I freely admit I'm not really that fat...yet), I think: TOTALLY worth it!

20 December 2010

So I'm back after a fairly long break. I make no apologies - life gets busy and takes priority over hobbies such as this. At any rate, here's what's happened since the last time I posted: I sprained my ankle, came down with a case of plantar fasciitis (which still plagues me), lost nine pounds in one month and then gained back twelve over the next month and a half.

I now weigh a hefty 202 lbs (and gaining) and it appears my skinny days are well and truly over. I can't lose weight even if I wanted to - or if I do, I just balloon back up as fat as I was before...and then some.

...Which is okay. I'd be horrified if being fat scared me. My only concern is for my health which, with the exception of nagging heel pain, is still good in spite of being "obese class 1".

I am very much enjoying becoming a "fattie". It's impossible not to notice my belly - even when I suck it in. People are making more and more comments about how fat I'm getting (oddly, usually it's people who are as fat or fatter than me). I take every one as a compliment and as a sign that I'm making progress. I'm still not sure how fat I want to get. It's getting easier and easier to raise the bar now that I've got the belly for good. I can still remember, a long time ago, when the possibility of being 200 lbs seemed impossibly huge to me.

So just a minor note...

I'm not trying to sound apologetic...but...sometimes life gets busy and I don't have the time or the money to keep up the gaining.

I'm doing my best...but to be clear: gaining is something I do for me. It is not my whole life. I guess I'm just vain enough to want to share and blog about it with complete strangers.

That being said...

If the gain's not big enough or fast enough for you...well...too bad.

So I've had a request for my e-mail. It's on the contact page but I'll put it here as well: roundboy123456@yahoo.ca.

Otherwise not much news to report...

5 August 2010

So I'm finding it downright distracting now that the top of my belly is finally starting to fill out and pressing against my shirts.

I've always wanted a nice round shape and it appears to be happening for me. My profile is widening...but until lately I was still looking somewhat flat. I'm ready to move forward because I'm actually very curious to see where the next 20 pounds are going to end up. This is new territory for me because this is the fattest I've ever been.

I'm going to do some serious eating over the next few days and see what I can do to help this along....
