Gaining

Has anyone ever tried to explain intentionally gaining weight to someone who you aren't terribly close to, like a co-worker? What so you say when they ask? Or even to a friend, or anyone who you aren't romantically involved with.

Yes, I've gained a lot of weight. Yes, I've gained that weight on purpose. No, I don't plan on losing any. Yes, I'm probably going to gain a lot more.

Would things get weird?

I would not tell anyone that I was gaining on purpose, except for the people who admire it. If anyone else brings up the subject, I would just tell them that you like the size you are, and would not care if you got bigger.

Just laugh and say you like to eat.
