A Food Blogger's Diary Thursday, January 1st 2015 New year, new Holly! I'm starting this diary to document my fresh start. I've made some bad decisions in the past, but I'm beginning 2015 with a clean slate. Why am I doing this? Well, I'm 28 years old, single, attractive, smart, funny, etc., but I have done nothing with my life so far. I want this year to be all about bettering myself, and my first order of business is to launch the blog I've always talked about starting but never made time for. I'm calling it Hungry Holly's Food Reviews. I'll try to think of a better name before I actually make my first post tomorrow. I should have plenty of time to work on it since they reduced my hours at work. Some bullshit about being overstaffed or something. Oh well, I'll try to make the best of it. Who knows—if the blog really takes off, I may not have to work at the dentist's office much longer. Friday, January 2nd 2015 So, Hungry Holly's Food Reviews officially launched today! Couldn't think of a better name, so I stuck with the placeholder. It isn't THAT bad... Hehe. My first review was a tiramisu from Gino's, a local Italian restaurant famous for their desserts. It was fantastic, but I'm afraid I overdid it with the sampling. I ate nearly two thirds of the tray before writing the critique, and I'm seriously contemplating finishing off the rest of the massive slab of dessert right now. I'm hoping to keep a pace of at least three reviews per week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, since I only work half-days during those times. I haven't decided exactly what types of foods I'm going to be reviewing, but I figure I'll have time to work that out as I go along. Okay, gotta go. That last piece of tiramisu is calling my name. Friday, January 9th 2015 Woohoo! I just got through my first week of blog posts and I'm actually keeping pace! I've decided that my reviews will be a combination of restaurant foods, takeout, home-cooked ready made meals, and pre packaged food products, so I guess that means I'm just going to be covering most anything food-related. Needless to say, I've been quite full this week, so I think I'm going to have to start cutting back on my portion sizes. I've already gained two pounds since last week, putting me at a hefty 110, lol. I'll be hitting the gym extra hard once I stop procrastinating and renew my membership. Don't want to turn into a porker, haha! Saturday, January 24th 2015 Ugh, I feel sick to my stomach. I really shouldn't have finished that box of cinnamon twists from Scolari's Bakery. In fact, I don't know why I ordered a dozen in the first place since I really only need one or two for a proper review. Haven't written a diary entry in a while. Too busy with work and the blog. I'm going to have to start adding in some healthy options to my rotation. I'm up another ten pounds and it's starting to show. I have a muffin top that peeks out from under my shirts. Maybe that just means I need a size larger pants. Note to self: go shopping tomorrow. I think next week I'll try all vegetarian selections. Try to curb some of my cravings for fatty food. Monday, January 26th 2015 Well, so much for vegetarian week... A fan sent me a selection of meats from his hometown of Buffalo, NY which he wants me to review on the blog. I got the package in the mail early this morning, and this stuff isn't going to keep until next week. Oh well, I guess this is a sign that vegetarian week was a bad idea. It looks like there is a whole pastrami in this box! If you'll excuse me, I have a half-ton of meat to consume. Monday, February 2nd 2015 Whew, first month is in the bag! I never thought running a food blog would be this much work. The good news is that I was finally able to set up my donation page, and my fans have already been contributing a fair amount of cash to support the site. Not much, but it's better than nothing. Buying food to review is getting expensive! Or maybe I just have expensive taste. Or maybe I just order too damn much. Either way, the fans are what's keeping me going. I'm up to 250 followers now! I also have a couple of fans that have continued to send me things to try. While I can't review every item they send, I will say that nearly everything that has been sent to me has been delicious. Overall, I'd give my first month as a blogger a B-. I deducted a grade point due to the fifteen pounds I gained, but other than that, it's been a great start! Wednesday, April 1st 2015 Wow, I can't believe it's been two months since I've sat down and written a diary entry. So, what's happened since February? Well, the good news is that I finally got my gym membership and lost the fifteen pounds I gained that first month... APRIL FOOLS! I'm fatter than ever. Last time I weighed myself, I was up to 141, although that was a week ago so I'm probably a little above that now. That means since January 1st, I've packed on almost 35 pounds... I think I need help, lol. On the plus side (get it? I'm hilarious), my boobs have gotten HUGE! I've had to up my bra size three times since I started gaining weight. The girls are going to need their own zip code if I keep pigging out like I have been. On that same note, the rest of my body is starting to catch up. I've found myself bumping into equipment in the small exam rooms in the dentist's office due to my expanding ass, and I've lost all tone in my stomach, although it's still fairly flat. I've also noticed that I've been attracting more male attention when I'm out and about, although that could be my imagination. Either way, this whole 'gaining' thing really isn't as bad as most women make it out to be. Saturday, April 25th 2015 OMG, this week has been hell. Let me just walk you through what I've consumed since Monday. Keep in mind, this is just what I've had for the blog, not including my normal meals. I've eaten an entire Mile High Chocolate Pie from House of Pies, a whole box of assorted Hot Pockets (had an extended review where I tasted and critiqued each one), seven Swanson Frozen dinners (reviewed in the same manner as the hot pockets), a package of Cookie Dough Oreos, possibly the world's largest sandwich from Katz' Deli (which I finished every last scrap of), two half-pound burgers with fries from Kenny's Burger Shack (I ate the first one at the restaurant, not realizing that it would give me nothing to review when I got back home, so I had to order a second one), and finally, the most decadent, mouth-watering, gut-bustingly gigantic 42" pizza you've ever seen. I've been munching on it since Tuesday, and I just crammed the last piece down my gullet. Since this seems to have become somewhat of a weight progression diary, I suppose I should mention that I'm now past 150 and have officially passed into the realm of chubbiness. I won't go into too much detail, since I'm in a bit of a hurry, but let's just say that I'm developing rolls at this point. Ok, well I'm out of time for now. I'm heading out with some of the girls from work for dinner and drinks. I may still be a lightweight when it comes to drinking, but I bet I could eat every one of those skinny chicks under the table now that I'm becoming the fat girl of the group... Sunday, April 26th 2015 Jesus, my aching head. Tequila shots and mass quantities of Mexican food don't mix as well as you'd think they would... I'm going to sleep for the next two days straight. After breakfast, that is, lol. Friday, May 29th 2015 Holy shit, I'm a fucking whale! For the past month it seems like I can't stop myself from eating. I've been gorging almost non-stop. I've never been more shocked than when I stepped on the scale this morning. I mean, I knew I was still gaining, but I never expected that I'd pack on 18 pounds in that short amount of time. I now weigh 171!!! Anyway, that was the last straw. I just got back from the gym where I renewed my membership. Tomorrow, I'm going to start really buckling down and getting back into shape. Now, I have three more boxes of food that my fans have sent me that I need to sort through, so if you'll excuse me... Sunday, June 14th 2015 I'm actually a little hung over as I'm typing this. The girls from work have decided to make our little get-togethers a weekly occurrence, so last night we went to Vito's Pizzeria where I proceeded to drink way too much beer and eat way too much deep dish Chicago-style pizza. One of the thicker girls, Cheryl, challenged me to a pizza eating contest. Being something of a master eater lately, I had no choice but to accept. Cheryl is a little chunky, but I still have at least 20 pounds on her. Plus, it seems like I've been stuffing myself even more than usual lately, so I had no trouble taking her down. Needless to say, I haven't been sticking to my workout regimen. In just over two weeks, I've gained another nine pounds, putting me right at 180. The weird thing is, I realized that the number actually excites me more than it scares me. I feel great, and I actually like the changes my body is going through. I may try an experiment this next month to see how far I can push this thing. Not that it'll be hard—the fan submissions keep rolling in, as do the donations, so I have a virtually limitless supply of food at my fingertips. Saturday, August 1st 2015 Well, it seems like I'm a natural at this whole 'eating' thing. I would call my experiment a rousing success. I've managed to pack on almost a pound per day in the past month and a half, and when I weighed myself this morning, I was an astonishing 223 glorious pounds of flesh. I can't believe it. I've more than doubled my weight in the seven months since I started my blog. Speaking of my blog, I now have over 10,000 subscribers, and the sheer amount of products that people are sending me have forced me to extend the reviews to one each weekday. Jesus, I'm such a fatty. Oh, and the best part is that I'm finally earning enough money from donations to quit my job at the dentist's office. I put in my two weeks notice today, so I can finally dedicate all my time to the site. That job was getting a little too strenuous for me, anyway. I can't handle being on my feet for that long these days. The girls from work are still doing their weekly meet ups (in fact, we're having one tonight) so at least I'll still get to see them. Oh, and that reminds me; Cheryl (the girl who challenged me to the pizza eating contest) found out about my weight experiment this past month and insisted that she take part as well. I have to give her credit—if nothing else, that girl is dedicated. I think she said she was able to gain 26 pounds in the month and a half between June and August. Not bad for being such a little thing. She's really starting to pudge up. I can see it in her face. Her cheeks have gotten fuller, and I can see a double chin forming around her neck. I'd estimate that she weighs around 185, give or take ten pounds. Anyway, this was an extra long entry since I'll probably be tied up for a while with blog stuff. As for gaining, I probably won't keep up my pace of the past month, but I intend to keep going for the time being. I'm just enjoying myself too much to stop now. Anyway, time to get ready for girls' night out. I think we're hitting up the Chinese buffet tonight. That's good, because I could really demolish a bucket of Lo Mein and General Tso's Chicken right now. Thursday, November 27th 2015 Happy turkey day! So of course today is Thanksgiving, and I thought I'd force myself to finally add an entry to this old diary. Obviously it's been four months since I last updated, and lots has happened. Ok, well not that much has happened, but I will say that the blog is going stronger than ever, although it seems to be for a very different reason than I'd imagined. I appear to have attracted a large following of FA's or Fat Admirers. I wasn't really aware of this particular proclivity until recently when Cheryl enlightened me on the subject. Apparently, there are men who enjoy seeing me stuff myself with food and gain weight. That's part of the reason I've been getting so many edible goodies from my fans; they want to see the videos of me eating the items they've sent to me. Strangely, it doesn't bother me in the least. In fact, the extra attention kind of excites me and makes me want to gain even more, which I intend to. After all, I probably couldn't stop myself now if I wanted to. I've graduated to doing two reviews per day, seven days a week, and I'm properly stuffed pretty much 24/7 at this point. I have absolutely ballooned in size since my last entry. At my last weigh-in I was 303, which means that if my math is correct, I've gained right around 80 pounds since August. God, I'm so fat, lol. My stomach just sits there in my lap, begging for a belly rub, and I have a hard time keeping my hands off of it when I'm in public. I'm still in shock that I've been able to gain so much so fast. At this rate, in another year I'll be bedridden. The thought of being immobile scares the hell out of me, but somehow also makes me a little giddy inside. It's almost time for me to pull the turkey out of the oven for its final butter basting. The old work crew girls are coming over to my place for Thanksgiving dinner, and I have a ridiculous spread that could feed an army, even though there will only be six of us. I will admit, however, that I can probably pack away at least three times what the other girls will be able to, with the exception of Cheryl. That girl continues to amaze me. She's growing into a fat pig right along with me, and every time I see her, she's a little bigger than before. I know she has to be over 250 by now, although that number is probably a bit on the conservative side. I'm thinking about asking her to come work for me, since the blog is now netting me enough to pay another employee. I'm starting to need an assistant to help me with day to day activities, and Cheryl and I have become good friends over the past year. I think this simultaneous gaining has strengthened our friendship even more. Maybe I'll ask her tonight at dinner. Friday, December 25th 2015 Merry Christmas! The past month has been unbelievably amazing. Cheryl started working for me right after Thanksgiving. At first, she was just doing basic errand-type jobs for me. Specifically, the things I was starting to have trouble with due to my increasing size. Then one day, she had the brilliant idea to open a secondary site dedicated specifically to my FA fans. This was a clip site where I would stuff myself silly with the food items that people had sent me. As it turns out, the second site, which we called Hungry Holly Chows Down, was wildly successful, and after only being active for a month, has managed to net me over $22,000 in pure profit. And the best part about it is that the site basically runs itself, since we are just filming me eating the foods I'm going to review on the blog, anyway! Naturally, I've continued to expand this past month, and I'm quickly approaching my next goal of 350. I'll have to remember to do a weigh in video for my adoring fans when I hit that milestone. I have no intention of stopping my gain anytime soon. Every new roll on my fat body is a new adventure waiting to be explored, and I love every inch of me. I love just laying in my bed at night, caressing my growing curves and imagining how big I am going to get. Hard to believe that a year ago I was less than a third of the size I am now. Cheryl has finally started to slow down her gain. I think she realizes that if we are both immobile, there will be no one to run the site and we'll be losing out on our 'mad stacks' as she likes to call our cash flow. She tapered off somewhere around 275 and appears to be maintaining at the moment. Still, I don't think she'll be able to resist the allure of my decadent lifestyle for very long, and I'm sure she'll soon fall off the wagon. I give her two weeks. Christmas dinner will once again include our regular crew. Cheryl and I have decided to give the girls a little show and prove just how much us fat girls are able to pack away in one sitting. I made sure I prepared extra of everything just in case. This will be a Christmas to remember. Sunday, January 1st 2017 Wow, I can't believe I found this old diary hiding on my hard drive. It looks like it's been about a year since my last entry, so I guess I'll attempt to give a quick update on my life. Through rigorous diet and complete lack of exercise, I have nearly achieved my dream of becoming fully immobile. The last time I was able to be weighed, I was 578. Cheryl dropped my scale after that and broke it, and I haven't been able to weigh myself since. Of course, that was over a month ago, and at the rate I'm gaining, I'm probably very close to cresting 600 now. I have an extremely difficult time moving around the house, and I think it will only be a matter of time before it becomes too much for me. Not that I'm complaining—quite the contrary. Once that day comes, and it will, I will celebrate with the biggest cake anyone has ever seen. As for the business side of things, I finally closed down the review site to focus on my stuffing videos. It was becoming too much of a burden to try and write that many scripts each week, plus I was starting to get more negative comments than positive ones on the review site due to my intense weight gain. On top of that, I'm making more money with the stuffing site than Cheryl or I know what to do with, so it was only logical to let the other blog go. Speaking of Cheryl, as I predicted, she fell off the wagon and began gaining again around midway through January last year. It was at that point that we decided it would be a good idea to branch off and start her own stuffing site, which we called Cheryl's Stuffing Shack. She quickly became nearly as popular as me, and of course grew exponentially as the days turned into months. She gained over a hundred pounds in the first six months alone, and as she quickly closed in on four hundred, we decided we should probably hire some more help due to our steadily decreasing mobility. That was when we got the brilliant idea to hire Diana and Katy, two of the members of the old dental crew to help us out. Ever since we brought them aboard six months ago, things have been running smoothly around here. Cheryl and I are being fed to our hearts content, and Our friends are being well compensated for their time. Of course, being the servants of two hungry fat girls can have an effect on the waistline, and both Katy and Diana have porked up quite substantially since joining our little fetish empire. Neither of them seem too concerned by this. In fact, the other day, Katy mentioned to me how happy she was that she was getting a juicy fat butt. Who knows, maybe some day they'll each have stuffing sites of their own. I know that I, for one, am just getting started. Now where's Diana with my breakfast? THE END
