Recently, within the last month, I've come across someone in a chat room who turned out to be an encourager. We spent an entire day talking about each other and needless to say we hit it off. I can't carry on a conversation very well and eventually things become awkward, but not with him. We've been chatting about 3 times a week. He's encouraged me to the point were my belly has grown another half inch. He tells me how proud he is and says I should continue to ballon up, which I might. I'm currently 57.5" around. I definitely feel bigger thanks to him. Even though his encouragement is completely online, it's effective none the less.
Also, I might be moving to Orlando, Florida this summer for a job opportunity at Disney World. My would-be encourager lives a short drive from there. Perhaps our gaining sessions will be conducted in person very soon. It's a big step, I know, but if things work out I might report an impressive weight gain by next January. Until May, I will continue to fill you in on any upcoming details.
