Not knowing what it was like, to be honest.


This was one of the two biggest things for me. The other was kind of identity-related, I guess. Kinda like how many people will wear fashion that identifies them with a genre of music or something, I wanted to at least look a little chubby so I could look on the outside how I felt inside. I didn't want to necessarily be the fattest guy in the room or anything, but being skinny felt so... wrong.

I guess both of those things filled different roles. I wanted to LOOK chubby for interactions with other people, and I wanted to FEEL chubby for my own private time.
