Week 23, Day 3: Busy but Gaining

Well my friend left for Cali yesterday. I've been trying to gain lately and just when it seemed like it just wasn't happening I hit 173 this morning.

Day 6: 139 lbs (1 week)
Day 9: 140 lbs
Day 10: 142 lbs

Day 22: 145 lbs (3 weeks)

Day 36: 151 lbs (5 weeks)
Day 45: 152 lbs (6 weeks)

Day 48: 155 lbs
Day 63: 156 lbs (9 weeks)
Day 68: 157 lbs *1st goal reached!
Day 69: 158 lbs (10 weeks)
Day 77: 159 lbs (11 weeks)

Day 87: 160 lbs (12 weeks)
Day 90: 161 lbs
Day 91: 163 lbs (13 weeks)
Day 101: 164 lbs (14 weeks)
Day 107: 166 lbs (15 weeks)

Day 125: 167 lbs (17 weeks)

Day 136: 169 lbs (19 weeks)
Day 139: 170 lbs
Day 149: 171 lbs (21 weeks)

Day 151: 172 lbs
Day 157: 173 lbs (22 weeks)

I'm starting to think about what to do from here too. My girlfriend expressed that if it were up to her she wouldn't really want me to gain anymore and maybe even lose 10 lbs. Of course, she supports me no matter what, but I'd be silly to say that her opinion doesn't matter to me. So I don't know. I might stop and stay at this weight for a little, or gain just 10 more, but not go for 200 like I was considering, or I might even try losing it pretty soon. I'm just not sure. It makes me sad to think about stopping already, but we also can barely fit on the couch to snuggle now. Actually, last night was the first time that we couldn't really comfortably lay next to each other and watch House. Sooo that does kinda suck. I don't know.

On the other hand I really like some aspects of my gain... not my belly so much, but everything else practically. I dunno, I'm just going to think on it for a bit. I really didn't even intend to go over 155 when I first started this and I'm 173. That's a 36 lb gain. I mean, wow, I'm almost 180! That's pretty crazy. So stay tuned. I'm bound to decide sometime in the next few days, and I'll post measurements as long as I stick at 172 or higher.

Never been a fan of reluctant support like that, but sometimes I guess you gotta take what you can get. Adjustment has to happen on both sides, but hopefully you can reach a compromise that doesn't lead to later regret.

Part of me wants to say just get a bigger couch, but whether or not that's in your budget, I dunno. I know I'd like to see you hit 200 then just make whatever changes from there, but also curious if new measurements match up with your feelings of feeling bigger.

I'm for the wider couch too (or a new, narrower, pro-fat girlfriend), but I can't come up with a reason that isn't transparently self-serving! I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide.

YYG -

Good luck with the decision. Definitely go with whatever makes you happy (including the opinions of your lovie!) Your fans have been MAJOR spoiled by this blog, so of course we're all going to go with the, "Keep going!" rally cry, if only because we're either jealous, admiring, inspired, or hawt for you. (See the "Comments" section of your posts for evidence...) Ultimately, though, we'll be pysched for you no matter what you decide. Seriously!

The olive oil makers are gonna be pretty upset, though. They were hoping that you were going to single-handedly put their kids through college. : )

Switchsword - I guess I don't really feel i'll regret it if I stop. But I think I would regret it if my gf wasn't attracted to me anymore. I mean, she says she'll support me no matter what.. but I need her to want me too... sooo I dunno.. my desires matter too of course, but I mean, I could always gain weight later in life too its not like this is it forever. It might even be kinda neat to lose the weight and gain it back and see if it comes in different places.. so I could do that over the next couple years.

I might still go to 200. I dunno.. maybe.. but I might not. I'm just going to see how I feel about it in a few days before I made any decisions.

YumYumGirl said...

Tom and Mercury, thanks for your support regardless of my decision.. I appreciate that lots. =) I mean, I won't disappear from the community or anything. I like weight gain and that's not going to change whether or not I decide to gain myself. =)

Let's face it.. I'm totally in love with my sweetie and I don't feel like this gaining thing is some deep intrinsic need of mine. I think it is something I can live without and be okay.. I'm not sure I could live without my chrissie though.

Cheese! said...

Waht would by interesting to know is what your measurements for 35 lbs!

Judging by what happened last time, you belly might have shrunk again (or not grown as much, lol) whist the 'parts' you do enjoy have gotten better. :P


If so, then it probably might be a good idea to continue for another 5 lbs or so to confirm if you want to continue to 200.

Your gf might feel better after that. Maybe you should 'explore' your new weight with her a little more. See if there's anything she likes more about the bigger you & if that is enough to go ahead.

Your plan from the start was to gain enough to become 'chubby', then drop to your most comfortable level. If you can't commit to that whole-heartedly, I doubt you'll ever get to be 'chubby' in your eyes.

Except by accident, of course. :P

It's been great following you through your journey and thanks so much for sharing with us too. I'd say, go for 180...like make one last goal for yourself in this journey and when you reach that goal of 180lbs see how you feel. If you feel accomplished reaching that final goal and feel that you could go further than do so, but if you feel that goal pushed the limits then you know it's time to end. Either way we're all here to support you and thank you again!!!

Tom Lucas said...

I just had another thought about this: Is your sweetie's problem that she finds you less attractive or that she's concerned about your health?

If the latter, just promise to lose weight after you hit 200. I can't imagine weighing that much for a little while would have any significant health consequences.

I agree with everyone, we have been spoiled by your amazing blog. I would love to see you go for 200 and make a final decision from there, but of course that may not be possible. You still are not chubby, and the affect of the diet change hasn't been confirmed yet.

Another good idea might be to hit that goal and then yo-yo down and back up with a monosaturated fat rich diet and see if you can alter your body's tendency to distribute more fat to your belly than you would like.

Whatever you decide to do, thanks for keeping all of us updated on your journey.

thanks to all your comments, my baby has left my reluctant support for a "new, narrower, pro-fat" girlfriend.

Well you have been and inspiration to many of us. I have been gaining along pretty close to the same timeline as you. It has been a fun syconisity for me. I have gone from low average to overweight for the first time in my life as well. I have watched my body change and grow. I have been frustrated when I stalled out, and been amazed when my body kicked in and gave me a surprise gain. I am loving the experience and know you have as well.
But I also understand that you have another person in your life, that matters greatly to you. As we have all pretty much stated, you have our support no matter what you decide. You have earn your gainer wings. I also sense that you will probably never want to return to that skinny state now that you look and feel so much better.
I know this has been a journey to experience being chubby. You have come close and should be proud of what you have accomplished.
Might I propose you come to a compromise of some sort with your sweety.
set either a time limit, on gaining (maybe 6 months) and or a max weight limit (200-210) Then hold that weight for 3-4 months so you can both adjust. At the end of that time if she wants you to lose you can pre agree to go back a certain amount. Or if she realizes you look great and are happier as a larger girl then all is well. I do believe there is a way for you to both be happy. all the best and remeber you have lots of support

YumYumGirl said...

thanks worldly.. yah, I don't know if i'll go all the way to 200 but whatever I decide, I know i'm going to make sure she's okay with it.

good luck with your own gaining! what was ur starting weight and weight now?

worldly said...

Hi again
Well I am up to 222 from 195. I really enjoy the changes. But I am stalled out at the moment, but I know I will break through it. My goal is 250. Like you this is sort of an experiment to see what will feel like to be larger. So far I am finding myself enjoying it more than I had anticipated. I like you am officially overweight for the first time in my life, and honestly doubt I will want be to less than I am now. If I do reach my goal I wonder if I will feel the same about that weight too. Kind of scary and exciting LOL
