I used to be conflicted about it. I used to be worried about what others would think, how my parents would react, and such. Now I simply don't care, and am satisfied to act on my desires alone.
Yes, but how/when did you get to that point?
It's just maturity. It happened to me about a year ago. Everyone subconsciously decides how to balance making others happy with making oneself happy, and conscious adjustments to this balance may be made along the way. In my case, I was fortunate enough to have someone in my life who was more accepting of me than I was, who helped me appreciate my differences. This, in combination with all the unrewarded effort I had put into failed friendships and relationships, caused me to be happily and unapologetically myself, which includes my desire to gain weight.
