Definetly born this way, I remember being like 6-8 years old and not just putting pillows in my shirt but putting them in and then trying to be seen, like sitting at a window or something. So even as a little kid I was into weight gain humiliation hahhaaa

I'm going with both too, there's probably always a potential that either gets snuffed or activated through nurturing...

I strongly suspect nurture played a role in my case. I don't remember this, but I have been told that I was very thin for the first year of my life. Because I was underweight, the doctor told my parents to feed me more, which they did. So I think my positive associations with weight gain can be traced to this.

Whether or not this is related to my attraction to fat people, I don't know. That could be motivated by genetics, or by positive associations I made with fat people I knew when I was young.
