Title: Help Zach Gain Weight Thread
Post by: Halbred on March 29, 2010, 12:02:11 AM
As most of you know, I have Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disorder that, among other things, makes it difficult for me to gain weight.
But I really really want to gain some weight by the 9th! Like, maybe between five and ten pounds. I've already got a bunch of good fattening things lying around the house, including:
1) Pistachios 2) Twinkies 3) Girl scout cookies (Tagalongs) 4) Peanut butter wafer sticks 5) Butterfingers 6) Lots and lots of milk
Suggest things! Fattening things! YOU WILL PUMP ME UP (with food)!

Perhaps I should qualify: I'd like to constantly be stuffing my face with snacky things. Yeah, the extreme sandwich thread suggests giant meals, but...you know, things I can much while sitting on my ass, playing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Eat foods that make your body produce large amounts of insulin. This will make your body store fat rather than burn it.

Instead of making sandwiches with bread, use Pop Tarts. Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon.
You could brush your teeth with milkshakes.

Pizza. A Super Supreme or Meat Lovers pizza with stuffed crust from Pizza Hut. Throw in some high calorie wings along with cheese sticks, soda and round it of with some chocolate dunkers.
Order and eat all of that every day.

You could maybe work out. Muscle weight is better than fat weight. Just saying.
Title: Re: Help Zach Gain Weight Thread
Post by: Halbred on March 29, 2010, 01:47:03 PM
Working out requires energy and effort.

Donuts. Tasty, fattening, and not as filling as that other stuff. Eat lots and lots of donuts.

You could stop pooping; this way anything you eat will result in a weight gain. Stop wastefully expelling matter from your body!

That's the worst advice in the thread. You're doing a terrible job. Have you seen competitive eaters? Most of them, especially the best ones, are skinny, or at least not fat.

He would only be doing it for about a week and a half based on his goal time frame; it would be incredibly naive to think he'd become one of the best ones in that period. I just figured it would be a simple and inexpensive way to get a lot of food, playing them all for chumps.

Ah, I see your angle. If he were to team up with someone to make a distraction, he could probably steal multiple competitors' food, and make out without having to do the paperwork, too.

I haven't been stuffing my face like I should be. Doctor's appointment today, though. We'll see if I gained any weight. Hopefully with my new medication, more fat is being kept, not burned.

My girlfriend's cat is on prednisolone, which made him get fat.

I just drove past a place in Federal Way that is called Fat Burger (https://www.fatburger.com/menu/). You should dine there more often. There aren't any in Alaska, but there are a few in Canada if you want to make the trip. You can even order online.

Fat Burger is very awesome.
Also, Zap's sad Pac-Man avatar is depressing.

Sorry if I don't feel like having a happy avatar, considering Halbred has a fatal disease.
Title: Re: Help Zach Gain Weight Thread
Post by: Halbred on April 10, 2010, 02:15:04 AM
Indeed I do.
Just got back from the doctor, and I had an AWESOME checkup. Over the last 12 months, I had dropped 8% in lung capacity (never good), but after two weeks of a new medication, nasal irrigation (to cut back on post-nasal drip), and lots of gaming,* I've not only gained back the 8%, but like 2% above that! So I'm in great shape. I also gained weight! Thanks for your support, everyone, and I'm still going to try gaining weight. When I inevitably DO get sick, extra weight will give me a bit of a buffer.
Whoo!
*Gaming probably had little to do with my recovery.

You need to get off Wii gaming. It's too healthy. Get back into last gen or HD gaming where you are allowed to sit on your ass and eat cheetos all day while just pushing buttons on a controller.

Fat Burger is okay but there are many local places here which are better. In fact, even a chain like Steak 'n Shake is better.

If you ever come down to Washington for a trade show or PAX or something I'll tread you to a huge meal at Fat Burger or something.

I've got several boxes of Cadbury Eggs. I like to stock up, 'cause they're only available once a year.
Mmmm, love Cadbury eggs.

i'll trade you a box for a bag of fat lipo'd outta someones ass.

I had one Cadbury Egg this year. Wish I had more. :(
Remember the adds on TV back in the day that showed that rabbit that would cluck like a chicken? And all the other animals trying to imitate it with bunny ears and attempted clucking noises?

Post by: Mop it up on April 13, 2010, 10:23:33 PM
I always wait until after Easter and then stock up on the candy when it is cheap. I bought three boxes of Cadbury cream eggs, a box of caramel eggs, a big bag of mini eggs, a handful of Reese's eggs, and some coconut cream eggs.
Now I really need Zach's condition.

And you complain about my sandwiches??
Title: Re: Help Zach Gain Weight Thread
Post by: Mop it up on April 13, 2010, 10:35:33 PM
If it were you, you would melt down all of the cream eggs, use the Reese's eggs as buns, and make a big cream egg sandwich out of them.
I bought all that a week ago and so far I've had only three cream eggs and a few mini eggs here and there. I'm taking it slow.

That'd probably be a better incentive for me to participate in that contest. Poor-quality Game Boy Advance games taste like the garbage they are.
