Update: I Have Indeed Graduated To Size Large In Flannel Shirts! Ive Started Wearing A Sweatshirt Underneath

Update: I have indeed graduated to size Large in flannel shirts! I’ve started wearing a sweatshirt underneath my flannels, not only to keep warm, but it also makes me feel/look larger.

Fall is approaching, and I’m looking forward to seeing how tight my button-up flannel shirts are gonna be. Last I knew I wore a size Medium shirt, but I’m sure I’ve graduated to Large now!

Moe’s BYOB

Got Moe’s again today while on the road. I got the custom burrito with all my favorite fixings:

large (12″) soft-shell tortilla

ground beef

Southwest-style rice

black beans

guacamole

queso

shredded cheese

lettuce

black olives

Wish I’d taken a picture, cuz that burrito looked pretty massive! A big boy for a big boy like me!

Body Journal #3

So, I think I've finally broken my old record of 208 lbs. I now weight around about 210 lbs. So, that means that if I gained 15 more pounds or so, I would reach my loose goal/max comfortable weight goal of 225 lb! I haven't been really going hard-core with gaining, more of a casual, steady gain. I check my weight often, but I don't record or keep strict track of it. I think honestly, I find the experience of stepping on the scale and reading the number that comes up is what turns me on moreso than whether or not I'm on track with gaining.

I have to buy size Large shirts now, and 38" waist pants. My work pants are all 36" and they're getting tougher to squeeze into. My winter coat is a Medium, and it's a little too tight to zip up.

My belly overhangs a bit more noticeably over my waistband. My thighs are thick. I shaved my beard recently and I was kinda amazed how much rounder my face/chin looked. I don't quite have a double chin, but it's definitely thicker. Overall, I guess you could say I look well-fed, bigger than average.

I used to go to Burger King as a rule whenever I was out on the road, but I've recently been giving McDonald's a try. I like McD's breakfast items, and the triple cheeseburger's not so bad. I've settled on 1-2 triple cheeseburgers and a medium order of fries as my usual order. BK does better fries, in my opinion, but McD's aren't too bad. The cinammon bun is fun to eat, cuz of the glaze. Whenever I eat it, the glaze inevitably gets all over my mouth. It turns me on and I feel like a real big boy.

Old Clothes

I was just sorting through some old clothes. Im proud to say that about half of them are too small for me now. Many of the t-shirts are size Medium, and those fit tight on me now. The button-up shirts, jackets and sweatshirts are large or extra large, and the large ones seem a little too tight. I think I might keep these for a bit for a comparison...

I'm a gainer because...

...I'm genuinely curious to see how my body looks with more weight.
