Hi everyone! I'm a 35 year-old woman who wants to purposly gain a little weight. This is unusual for me because I have spent most of my life focussed on dieting (sometimes successfully, sometimes not). Last year I was around 140-150 lbs and in good shape since I was jogging and bike riding almost everyday last summer.
Over the past 8 months, I slacked off on the exercise and put on "a few pounds". I eat a healthy diet, lots of veggies, lean meat, not a lot of processed food, so I figured I couldn't have gained more than 10 lbs really.
I pulled the scale out yesterday and weighed myself for the first time since last summer and WHOA!!!......it said 179.6 lbs! That's officially the highest I've ever weighed! It was a little bit of a shock! That's almost 30 lbs gained since last summer!
But the thing is, I've been feeling great the past few months. I like the extra weight in my belly (I put it on mostly in my belly and my boobs). I like the extra curves and padding. I haven't felt self conscious carrying around some extra fat like I would have a few years ago.
In fact, I wouldn't mind gaining an extra 20 lbs and bring my weight up to an even 200 just to see what it's like. My plan is to maintain my current weight and strengthen my legs and my core muscles for the rest of May and then at the beginning of June, start adding a little more to my diet and watch my weight climb slowly over the course of the summer. I want to do it in a healthy way because I am and want to continue to be an active person.
Thanks for reading this far! I didn't mean to write a book!
One last question...The only part of my body right now that I'm not happy with is my butt. It's kind of flat. Do any of you gainers out there have some personal experience with getting a rounder butt through exercise, supplements, massage, anything that might work? (Please don't say surgery. I want to do it all natural!) Thanks in advance!
Here's a pic of me wearing my jeans that I could fit in last September! No way those jeans are going to button now!
