Number 1. I have always had a fascination with fat, being fat and the joy of seeing overweight/fat women/girls. I was overweight as an adolescent and teen-ager. Gained in college, lost weight, kept it off for a long time (twenty five years in military reserves). I have been gaining since I retired from the reserves in 2013, I have gone from 207 to 230 lbs. I have a waist of 47 inches and 44 around my butt. I am enjoying it.

I’ve gained 120 lbs in the past year-and-a-half, so I feel qualified to answer.

1. Did you always desire to be fat, as far as you can remember?

Definitely not, I think prior to discovering my preference for bigger/curvier women, I was as fat-phobic as most of the general population. Once I discovered it in adolescence this obviously all changed.

2. Did your desire appear suddenly, or in a relatively short period of time?

It followed right behind my discovery of fat admirer culture; it’s hard to know how intertwined my personal desire to gain is with it being a turn-on in others, but they definitely went hand-in-hand

I was really skinny, underweight in fact, for most of my adolescence, so gaining was truly just a fantasy for a long time. Only recently have I had the resources and lifestyle (college student) to actually follow through with it, and I’ve been enjoying it ever since

Fat as a kid, overweight as a teen, borderline during twenties and went obese in thirties [429 lb].

Just sort of accepted it as never really been anything else. After getting to thirty gave up caring and sort of ballooned up in few short years.

1. Did you always desire to be fat, as far as you can remember?

No, I always loved fat and thought fat people were sexy, but I was skinny into my 30s.

2. Did your desire appear suddenly, or in a relatively short period of time?

My desire was inspired by my partner, who became my feeder. If she hadn't thought my getting fat was sexy, I don't know if it ever would have occurred to me? But she definitely was the motivator, and then I discovered how pleasurable it could be.

3. Did your desire grow slowly, from trying out a little extra weight, liking it, and going for the next "step"?

Sort of - I initially gained a small amount slowly over a period of time.

4. Did you gain unintentionally at the beginning, hated it, and later grew to accept it?

I gained unintentionally - just getting older, slower metabolism, getting more sedentary, not exercising, and all that. I wouldn't say that I hated it, but my knee-jerk reaction was that I should lose it - just because, even as a FA, I think that societal "norm" was burned into my brain. It was my partner who said, "Why? It's sexy, keep going!"

I've always wanted to be fat, though the level of how fat I wanted to be changed a lot.

As a kid I always preferred fat, probably because there were a lot of fat couples I looked up to. The women were smart and beautiful and all had equally fat or fatter partners. So naturally I wanted to be fat.
What probably set my goal though was a couple that came out to our local pool. She was probably pushing 400 and he had to be in the 500s. She paid several of us with food to go get snacks, mostly for him. I was always mesmerized by his huge belly, it hung below his knees and when he sat down it could rest on the ground. I knew immediately I wanted one just like it.

Fast forward a few years and I realized I only needed 30 pounds to break 200, so I started seriously overeating. I learned that I loved being absolutely stuffed and 200 wasn't near as fat as it seemed. So I set my eyes on 300, cause sumo wrestlers are that size and they're huge. It took several more years to hit that goal.
Still don't have the belly I want so I'll keep gaining. Goals have moved from 300 to 400 to realizing I probably need to hit the 600s for the look I want.

For all those who desire to gain a significant amount of weight (or who, in the past, intentionally gained a lot of weight):

How did this desire develop in the first place?

1. Did you always desire to be fat, as far as you can remember?
I've been into fat since I was 14. Didn't look for myself to gain until I was about 20.

2. Did your desire appear suddenly, or in a relatively short period of time?

Desire for myself to gain was rather fast. I was uncomfortable being upfront with my SO, so I looked to gain weight.

3. Did your desire grow slowly, from trying out a little extra weight, liking it, and going for the next "step"?

For quite a while I didn't gain weight, even when I tried for a couple days at a time. Then suddenly with heavy cream, I started gaining. Still currently working towards my first goal. I likely won't stop there.

4. Did you gain unintentionally at the beginning, hated it, and later grew to accept it?

When the gain started showing up, I wasn't expecting it, it was a couple weeks after trying heavy cream for a couple of days. I personally liked it, but didn't care for the attention it got me right away.

5. Did you gain unintentionally at the beginning, and liked it or at least had mixed feelings about it?

It was intientional

6. something else?
For every little bit I gained, I found myself loving my gain more and more. I can't say I ever imagine myself going back to my start weight. With my new eating habits, I doubt that I'll ever go lower than I am either. I'm enjoying my new size.

I have been an FA since middle school, though in women only. I was always athletic and into sports, but occasionally would wonder about being fat myself. About two years ago I got a job where i sit all day, and my wife and I had our first child. After being on a relatively strict diet, the new job and stress/joy from the new baby, I caved in and decided to let go a bit. After gaining about 30lbs the first year, I decided I liked it and have now gone from 187 to 276 in just over 3 years time. Aiming for 300 as an initial goal.
