Hi all.
Many people have written here that gainers should have a healthy lifestyle in order to avoid diabetes type 2. Many say they would stop gaining if they had such a complication, some people stopped indeed because of it. Must it be? Is it not possible to still gain slowly (with sport and medical treatment at the same time) so that the complications of diabetes (blindness, etc…) don’t automatically come, or only slowly?
I voluntarily gained weight from 2004 to 2009, it was delicious to me, but as I started from 127 lbs (for 175 cm!!!) and I have a fast metabolism, in 2009 my weight was only 210 lbs (I was 27 years old…). Then, I stopped. Now, I can’t understand how I could leave the “left hand path” in this way. In 2011 I had a girlfriend, and for her, deliberate weight gain would have been a no go. At the end of 2014 I knew that we would separate ourselves and I wanted to gain weight again. We separated ourselves in July 2015. Now, it is sometimes difficult for me to accept that someone who loves gaining in a so strong way like me lost so much time in life. During some periods that’s not a problem for me, I think that after a few years it is nearly the same, I missed nearly nothing, and I could make other things like having a girlfriend (as a practicing gainer it is not possible anymore because as nearly all the people follow the “right hand path”, at least 99% of the population is horrified by gainers). I think I can get right with that, but it was the limit: two or three years more without gaining and I would have found it a great pity. If I can give you an advice, I would say: never forget the principle: “Do what thou wilt”.
With my girlfriend, I hadn’t the healthier life. In 2013, I noticed that it was at little less easy for me to drive during the night. This impression got stronger during 2014 and 2015. Now it is clear that I can’t see as well as a few years ago, and especially during the night, the difference is very important. I don’t know if I have diabetes or if the reason is high blood pressure. My blood pressure was always relative high (even as I was skinny), then as I gained weight it became even higher. Alcohol and smoking very often Shisha don’t help. I could easily renounce alcohol and tobacco, make sport and follow a treatment against high blood pressure. But I am waiting for the results of a blood sampling, and my visit by the ophthalmologist lays in the future. I still don’t know what is the reason for this loss of vision. It could also be diabetes. It would be very sad if I now couldn’t gain weight, just at the time I can do it again and I am at last becoming fat. I think, in this case, I would gain weight anyway and accept the complications.
How many gainers on FF have diabetes? What do you do in this case? Had you no other choice than to renounce gaining? If not, how do you make that?
