Peanut butter and pickles go well together. Peanut butter is the only way to make sweet pickles taste good. Pickles are better than jelly on a sandwich.

Pizza dipped in ranch because it was the only way to elevate the cardboard pizza I got in middle school. It just matches at this point.

Eroticism can be spiritual. For me, if I wanted to have a spiritual experience of the erotic (which i have never pursued but I know other people do) I would have to incorporate gluttony, obesity, or kinks that might be harder to make spiritual like humiliation. So the erotic experience of gluttony might be made spiritual in some ways.

Nobody is obligated to be healthy, and you often can't tell just by looking at someone whether or not they are healthy. Obesity has health risks but that is none of your business when it comes to other people's bodies. We are all obligated to be respectful to each other.

Fat people are beautiful and you know that sexually but then reject yourself and the people you are attracted to. You don't have to buy into the fat acceptance content online to just take a neutral moral stance on other people's bodies. By fat shaming others you are perpetuating the very stigma which is causing you yourself suffering.

I also work in healthcare and witnessing firsthand the suffering that diabetes and heart problems can cause definitely scares me away from gaining the way I fantasize.

Not at all. I just weight cycle to try to get the pleasure of gaining without the problems. I know yoyo dieting isn't good for you either though. I love the part where you gain weight but I'm unwilling to endure reduced mobility as a result of obesity. So I just tiptoe into the overweight range and back again.

Also the Santa movie where he is gaining weight super fast was probably the first time I felt turned on lol

My family is pretty fatphobic and for me I think that there was something subversively sexy about weight gain as a result.

I got the social gainer! It's kind of funny because I'm not really gaining these days but it's certainly what I fantasize about more than anything.

Here is real life experiment with a modest sample of 18 people who ate a bunch of fast food to intentionally gain weight for science. I personally find this very hot to just read for fun but you might find it genuinely helpful. On average participants' BMI increased from 21.8 to 24 during the pigging out phase. When they went back to normal life, they initially lost about half the weight they gained, but by two years later they were almost the same size as their fattest, which was still not overweight.

This suggests that yes, gaining 10-15 lbs is likely to shift your set point up a bit metabolically. If you want to go back to your starting weight and maintain that long term, you might find that harder to do. It's also likely that there is some selection bias here because the only people who would consent to be human subjects in a fattening experiment don't mind the idea of gaining weight. So maybe the people in this study either intentionally kept the weight or just didn't really try to lose it.

On the other hand, if your concern is harm to your health as opposed to being just a bit thicker than you started, it's probably not a huge difference but everyone is different. No matter your size, you can try to stay active and eat lots of plants and minimal sugar.
