Love your belly, but take care with your health

[BigBaldie]

Hey guys,
This is your moderator. I'm back in the cyber world after a short break.
I don't want to bring things down very much, but take it from me.....the title of this thead is VERY important :) I know......on the morning of New Year's Eve, this guy had a mild heart attack. It was mostly stress-related, but the docs said that my weight and "couch-potato" lifestyle contributed. I have lost aver 35 lbs. BUT, now I'm returning to gaining and gut-growing. My doc isn't very happy, but I let him know that I am determined! ;) I will be visiting him more often than before and hope to keep everything in check.
One of the best things I've ever done for myself was to join this group. We all need to encourage each other to wear our bellies with pride, and to encourage each other to get and to stay healthy.
I'm glad to see that the membership has grown so much, especially with the
great numbers of young men. It's a wonderful time to be a big-gutted man.

It's easy to slip away from this group now and then. Life has a way of getting to hectic. It's important to take time for yourself. Mental health is just as important as physical health. I know I'm not the best example when it comes to mental health because I'm Mr. Stress. LOL. Don't do as I do, flow with it, eat well, work out, sleep well, and grow big and happy. Kind of a sappy response isn't it.

Sorry hear about you troubles!

Nothing like some confort food to erase feelings of stress! Impossible to be uptight with a full belly, I think!

I try to pig out on healthy food. When I go to Pizza Hut, I make sure to have a plate of salad and a plate of fruit along with my 4 plates of pizza and breadsticks. Sometimes I will just have a salad binge, stuffing myself silly at a salad bar! Tends to get me funny looks from waiters, but it's great for swelling out the belly with all that roughage!

I like the idea of healthy foods combined with fat foods. Can u tell me when u started to gain? Were u still a child or did u start later in life?
Dont want to be too nosey. SORRY. Just very excited by fat.
All my best
Eric

I started fanstasizing about age 8 and at age 11 to 13 I deliberately gained 70 pounds and tracked it on graph paper. Then I repressed all those feelings and went about having a normal life. Then in middle age the fantasies just wouldn't go away any more.
