>>36002Following up on this post - it's only been a few months, and my partner has gained a significant amount of weight. There's not a doubt in my mind she's passed 400, and I'd be willing to guess she's pushing ~420 (heh). It's been an incredible few months, if she keeps her current momentum, I could see her pushing 5 bills by this time next year.
What changed? She's someone with long term inability to eat how she wants (and really, barely at all), until recently, and she has long-term absorption issues that lead to very easy weight gain (I've historically always eaten more than her until recently, and I weigh about 1/3 that she does). Bless her new medications, but she's been able to indulge to the point that she's going to bed stuffed SOLID every night. She's been allowing herself to engage in every whim and intrusive hunger thought that crosses her mind. She gets into vicious cycles of sweet/salty snacks, multiple soft drinks a day, a protein shake almost every morning, on top of 3 square meals, and every meal comes with sides and desserts. It's been amazing to hear her ask me to grab her snacks what feels like dozens of times a day. Her being mostly unemployed and being stoned almost constantly has helped this whole process quite a bit, too.
A recent highlight, she's gotten into those pre-mixed no-bake cheesecakes - she's cut out the middle man, and is just using it as a dip. We (mostly her) ate through one container as a cake the week of Thanksgiving, and went through another the following week as a dip for various pretzels and cinnamon crackers. Just last night, she wanted Oreos. We have two kinds in the pantry- she wanted me to bring her both. I fell in love all over again in that moment. lol
And I can see and feel the difference. She used to be an exaggerated hourglass figure, but now she's really filling in. She's never had a huge belly, but now it seems like the majority of where she's gaining is going there. Her double chin is constant now, and she's even starting to get a neck roll underneath. Her thighs have always been bigger than my torso, but they're just cartoonish in how big around they're getting.
The hottest thing I noticed? The last few times she was on top, I had to FiGHT to breathe unlike I've ever had to before, and when I'm on top, I've been feeling more and more like I'm floating above the bed.
It's been an amazing few months, hopefully this train just keeps a-rolling. I don't foresee it slowing down anytime soon.
