piebelly,
actively started gaining at around 12 stone am now nearly 19 over 5 years.

For what its worth here is my story, i kept my FA and feeder feelings locked away for many many years and even married a thin girl to try and "cure" myself. In the end it all went horribly wrong, she got hurt and i have just wasted half my life denying my inner self. I was so affraid of how people and my freinds etc would judge me.
All i can say is if I had my time again I'd be true to myself no matter how tough. Get it over with come out, in the end you are what you are and trying to be something else will kill your sole.
