Gaining

Have you gained on purpose?

It seems like there are three ways this starts:

1) You want to gain for a long time and finally get the opportunity and go for it;

2) You have some transformative experience that makes you realize you want to gain, and decide to try it;

3) You think about it for a period of time and just start wanting it more and more until one day you just start.

Which one happened to you? If you answered (2), what was the transformative experience that got you going?

Not sure how I would fit in those numbers. I've fantasized about being fat for as long as I can remember, but never associated it with actually getting fat until I was 21-22 years old. I've gained some weight on purpose, but lost most of it again. Now I just enjoy food and see what happens .
