Holiday Heft.

Well, I figured that I'd write my first Christmas gaining blog sooner or later.  You may wonder what changes I've made.  Sorry to disappoint, but I'm still the same.  Though I have been taking it quite easy and eating till I'm content, there is no apparent gain.  My parents have now acknowledged that I've put on some weight.  That's all they said as I was getting rid of my smaller clothes.  The only things worth getting rid of are most of my tshirts.  

I always wear a tall because since I am around 300lbs. there is a slight over hang visible in front and some visible love handles behind me when I sit.  I argued that my pants were just fine (and trust me they are)  they told me, 'no they don't fit because you put on weight'.  I have been eating big for a log time but since I've reached my plateau they think I'm getting bigger by the day.  Weird.  Nothing else to report.  Wish me luck.   

Thanksgiving.

Why is it that I can't bring myself to eat more than one plate of anything when I'm at a family dinner?  I just get full instantly.  The food was great this year.  I guess I savored it too much and thus it became easy to be full when the food goes in too slowly.  On the bright side, I did manage to pig out impressively the next day while everyone in my family was at work.  lol.  I just sat in the big easy chair watching some DVD's with a big bloated belly bobbling up in the air like a giant gurgling water ballon under my shirt.  It was there I realized how much bigger I actually was.  I never used to fill up the seat of that chair from arm to arm.  And wow!  I totally was.  (*putting one hand on each side and giving my gut a massive victory shake*).  lol.   

The Encourager.

About six months ago, I was just out of high school and found my first summer job as a graduate.  Back then I was not thinking about gaining at all and actually thinking about losing some weight to impress my friends who hadn't seen me in a few years.  I was making some serious money working over the summer as a full timer.  I really didn't know what to do with my money.  I bought a computer and paid for my first semester's tuition fully and in cash.  One day I came across a blog called 'The Encourager'.  This blog was full of gainer fiction and I read almost every one.  Different guys in each story gaining tons of weight and feeling so satisfied.  I was reading them all night.  I don't know what sparked, but I was determined to make a change over the course of that summer.  I went out to all the fattening food spots I could find during lunch breaks and after work.  Downing at least three of their biggest sandwiches every visit.  I would even eat a large pizza every morning before I left home.  After about three weeks it seemed like nothing changed.  

But into the next week, like waking from a dream, I saw what had happened to me.  I became enormous!  I was once at around 280 that spring and was now at the near end of the summer at a wobbling 320 with a waist at 56 inches around.  I'll never forget what reading 'The Encourager' did to me.  It turned me into the guy I always thought I'd be after high school.  I got much fatter and had an easier time doing it without looking at all the buff hunks that filled up my graduating class.  Seeing them every day made me feel a little too nervous to get a bigger belly while they were getting bigger pecs and biceps.  Standing around the hall way they looked like bronzed statues, works of art.  When I made my way through that maze of solid, muscular high school guys I looked like a Thanksgiving's Day balloon pushing myself down the street between these tall buildings.  After my class said their good byes, my shame seemed to disappear.  No more popularity contests.  It was all about making it on your own.  Now I'm in a whole new popularity contest where all the guys around me are the same.  In the gaining community, I'm still shy but at least I'm not an outcast.              

Winter Weight.

You know how the holidays can bring bundle of holiday treats to your door step.  These treats may come in the form of cookies, cakes, chocolate bars, ginger bread houses, caramel topped bunts, etc. which, if brought to someone like me, would be turned into at least ten more pounds of fat in less than three days.  This happens to most of us weather we are plump, happy gainers or thin, nervous, diet crazy others.  I'm going with the natural flow of the Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition by downing as much hot, buttery dinner rolls as I can.

Jetpuffed.

Okay, It looks like I'm in the habit of writing two blogs a day.  It's not a bad thing, I know, but if it becomes something expected of me I would soon be posting some crappy, thinned out, reading for you guys and I'm sure you'd prefer a little more substance than that.  (I know how much fat guys love substance!)  Not to mention quality.

Moving on...

I believe it's necessary to explain the logic behind my name.  For those of you non-locals who don't know, (JETPUFFED) is a brand of marshmallow that I typically find here at my local grocery store.  I can probably contribute a good amount of my hefty success to this fine product.  Jetpuffed marshmallow fluff makes an excellent fudge recipe, this I know *slaps own gut*.  I love marshmallows and everything you can make using such an ingredient so I thought it natural to use it as my gainer name.  Hope you like it.  Don't care if you don't like it.  

You ask me if I feel "puffy"?  Well, I would say that every so often when I gain a couple new pounds I certainly do feel like I've puffed up.  That puffiness, however, quickly turns to thicker and wobblier fat the next day.  This feeling hasn't come back yet.  I seem to be in a gaining slump.  Wish me luck for this weekend.  I will post again soon.  Probably later tonight.

Diet Plan.

This is day two of my blogging experience!  Okay not that exciting.  Not sure what to do this Saturday other than the usual try to eat as much as I can without people bothering me constantly.  I do currently live at home, which is fine considering the cost of renting an apartment these days coupled with the fact that I still have tuition payments to make.  So every day is something like.

"Where'd you put the remote?"

"Oh, I thought you were in the bathroom."

"Go to bed it's late!"

Here I am sitting alone Saturday morning where no one is around to interrupt.  *sigh and pause to savor the moment*.  With the recent snow storm we had, there is a bright grey sky casting a pleasant glow all throughout the house.  I love it.  But eventually I will have to get up and do something because even taking it easy can become annoying.  My ipod's busted so I'll need to get it fixed or replaced (probably the second one) with the help of my last paycheck.  And after that, since I will be at the mall, I think I shall partake in MALL FOOD!  Mall food is excellent because you can always find a popular franchise like McD's, Pizza Hut, Taco Johns (Bell), Wendy's, etc.  and if not that there are plenty of other equally fattening food venders.  Don't know what I'm in the mood for.

I try not to eat fast food whenever possible because (for example) I see McD's as an emergency stop when I haven't eaten all day and I'm coming home from work at 10:30 p.m.  No other place is usually open late at night during the winter and making something at home in the kitchen will result in waking someone up waaaay to early.  On a pleasant Saturday, my diet would consist of mainly this;

=One large breakfast pizza.

=Snacking.

=Atleast 3 lbs. of pasta and cheese.

=Snacking.

=What ever parents have made for dinner (in excess).

=Sweets galore!

And that's about it.  I should also mention that whatever I don't eat I'll save for left overs to be eaten later that day.  "Nothing's good reheated if it's been too long."  Another interesting tip I've learned is that you wait about an hour after you wake up to slow down your metabolism.  It tricks the body into thinking that food is not readily available and should store any bit of energy it can.  Not sure if it works, but I'm trying just about everything.  Another tip is to eat huge meals before bed.  The body's metabolism slows WAY DOWN when you sleep, and with nothing to do but digest it's a great way to store some poundage overnight.  Sadly, though, I've never woken up completely transformed like you would see in a lot of popular movies but it could happen.  Hope that this has been helpful to you gainers out there.  Just go with what works for you.    

Broken Scale.

No I didn't break it.....sadly.

I usually don't weigh in unless I'm noticing some good progress.  "Just to surprise myself "  I may think I'm still at 285 but I might really be at 300 even!  Who knows?  Seriously....I don't.  I would typically use a measuring tape (the last time I checked my gut was at 56.5" around), but it has recently gone missing.  Now the only unit of measure is in the crappy broken scale I have here at home.  It gives me a different weight ever single time I step on it.  There's no way a person could fluctuate as much without some seismic activity going on.  I step off after a read out of 285 and step on to a scale that shows 302.  My newest goal.....find a better scale or surprise myself after Christmas break.  Any thoughts? 

Introduction.

Hello everyone.  My name's Chad and I'm a gainer living in "small town" Iowa.  I'm finding it hard to communicate with local encouragers and admirers so I posted a blog about my love of being fat.  As always, I have to mention here that if you disapprove of my pursuit of bigness or of others who appreciate those of my size, you may now leave.  I'm not here to write blogs for you nay-sayers.

Even though I have already gained a substantial amount of weight over the years, about 100 since junior high to be exact, I'm still growing.  So I think I'm finally ready to begin blogging about my gaining adventure.  I hope to reach my goal of 350 or even 400lbs. before long.  If I happen to find the right guy to help me get there, that would be a dream come true for me.  If not, I'll just be at it alone as I have been doing it for a while.  

I'm always open to receiving tips, comments, messages of encouragement, etc. to help me along.  I'll share with you some of my most personal stories along the way and I might even throw in a few fictional stories for fun.

I have a myspace.  It's www.myspace.com/bellydrum and you must add me as a friend before you can view more of my profile.
