Gravity-Defying Secret

The LunaTic corporation's Moon Base has been a rousing success, with humans residing and working on the lunar surface for the past five years. One defining aspect of this feat is the physical transformation required for those who call the moon home. 

You have basically two options to counteract the low gravity (to avoid bone and muscle loss as well as numerous other problems): Either keep training your body with resistive exercise, which will take you two hours a day, every day, for the rest of your contract, or simply gain extra weight. 

Despite the fact that LunaTic Corporation promotes gender equality, it is widely known in their internal documents that women adapt better to this difficult challenge, particularly when it comes to the second option.

What should you expect if you sign up?
Like many newcomers, you'll probably begin in the gym, at least for the first few weeks. However, the Ai support system that monitors you every second will give you three strikes before switching you to a new program if you start failing in your exercise. (AKA "cratering")
There is no time to waste because muscle atrophy can occur in as little as two months. 

Instead of giving you gym hours, the Ai system will steer you to a very different type of full-body exercise in small, comfortable rooms affectionately referred to as "Plumper Pods" by residents. 

In these pods, which resemble luxurious horizontal cocoons designed for maximum comfort, a  special high-fat, high-calorie formula will be administered to you via a tube several times a day. Due to the reduced physical demands of movement in low-gravity, weight gain occurs rapidly,  particularly for those with a genetic predisposition.

Some people may find what comes next to be quite shocking. 

To counteract the gravity of the Moon, LunaTic recommends a minimum weight of 500 pounds if measured on Earth. While this may seem excessive for us, the Lunar base's 16% gravity makes your 500 pounds feel still rather underweight for an adult (equivalent to about 80 pounds on Earth).

Not surprisingly, many women choose to exceed this minimum weight, with most employees pushing easily well beyond the requirements.

One long-term resident told us that Moon starts to feel right around 800 pounds - "It's like being 130 pounds on Earth, just with a bit more padding." - but she said she wasn't stopping there.

And that sentiment is shared by many. For the majority of Moon residents, the weight as represented by earth numbers is not at all the deciding factor when to slow down the pod program.

The answer is more simple. The first thing you'll notice when you arrive on the moon is the massive size of the doors, particularly in the woman's quarters.

The absence of gravitational stress on fat cells allows them to expand much more readily, reinforcing your body's natural tendency to store subcutaneous fat. In practical terms it makes everyone on the Moon appear much rounder than they would ever be on Earth.

You'll be soon surprised at how the Moon multiplies your body's genetic predispositions once your new high caloric diet kicks in. Between the majority of female occupants the effect is colloquially known as 3BB  (Boobs, Belly, and Butt Boost). 

If you were called "thick" or bottom-heavy on Earth, you'd soon be overfilling your quarters with your hips and thighs. If mother nature gave you fuller breasts, be prepared for some serious beach-ball action never leaving your field of view.
And for the ladies who easily gain weight around the midsection, let me just say that the term "apple shape" will feel like a humorous understatement in Luna city.

It's no surprise that many newly built corridors have a circular cross-section  to prevent some of their increasingly shapely residents from becoming trapped. 

While this life may appear appealing to many, there is a catch. Once a resident reaches a certain mass, they would have to seriously slim down before returning to Earth, or risk being crushed by the Earth's gravity. (Editor's note: or risk crushing the Earth) 

With exercise already a challenge, many female residents are indeed struggling to reverse the 3BB effects. Although LunaTic Corporation denies that their recommendation for most newcomers to sign for "plumper pods" is intended to keep their well-rounded workforce on the Moon permanently, many residents have chosen to settle on the lunar surface, embracing their new, moon-shaped physique.

I honestly want to write an entire story on this premise. I wish a day had at least 32 hours instead of the typical 26-27. I could do soooo much. 
Incidentally, this is also probably the highest quality image I've done so far as for the amount of details.

I love all of your ongoing support; it makes me feel appreciated, which is fantastic.
