I need help here people. I started gaining weight about two years ago. I have a very demanding job, and I am on the go all the time. I finally found a health food store that sold Monster blast and MX-10, that puts weight on you fast, a legal steroid and gained, no lie, 14 pounds in I month. My damn boss at work saw me one day and told me I looked terrible, that I was getting fat. He said I was so big. Well I am not that big, but my gut was really coming up and so were my arms! I loved it but every time my boss saw me he said I need to lose weight. I was pissed but could say nothing to him.I do want a huge gut but how do I deal with my boss???? He is not super thin either and I told him that. He makes such a big deal about it. What do I saw, the job pays well and my boss likes me. I am afraid to tell him I want to be 350 pounds, I am not sure if he will think I am weird and fire my ass. I need help here guys. I want to get big, and I do gain weight very slowly. Do I even have a choice here? My co-workers could care less but my boss goes after anyone who is getting fat. Help! I can do my job being fat I should sue if I do gain weight and he does not like it!

Does your job rely on you being a certain size to perform it well?
Do clients you deal with (if you deal with clients) have a problem with you?
How does your performance compare with that of your colleagues?
Other than your size which your boss is obviously taking offence to, is your presentation otherwise good?
Provided you're not 'dropping the baton', he's pissing and moaning I think.

If he keeps moaning tell him your not botherd about your size, and you still perform as good as you did at the beginning.

I, too have a very demanding job that requires alot of heavy lifting. I had a boss that used to constantly get on me about my weight and size. Then one day he was staring at me me, giving me his basic dirty looks. I flexed, pointed at my bicep and told him this was from all the lifting he made me do. He was speechless! When he saw me eating I told him this job really works up the apetite. After a couple weeks of sordid remarks, and flexing on my part, he backed off. There are quite a few of big bellied men with bulging boceps where I work, so I think the guy got the message loud and clear. I perform well at the job and the work gets done. My size shouldn't be a problem.
