Gaining

Who here would say they've "let go" with regard to their weight?

Having put on over 100 pounds over the last 8 years, most people would probably say so!

Honestly, though, if I really let go with my appetite I'd probably be bankrupt or immobile within 5 years.

From subsequent conversations on this it seems to me that people "let go" when they realize they like eating and gaining more than they care about what others think or any other possible downsides.

Typically they will gain unintentionally and discover they like it more than they ever thought they would and/or realize that whatever they were afraid of isn't as bad as they feared.

At this point they

LET

GO!

I don't know--"giving in" sounds like a defeat. You want to think of it as a victory.

I let go many years ago. I'm not trying to gain, I just eat what I want when I want to. Naturally, that's seen a slow but steady increase in weight ...

Ahhh... I've not 'quite' let go yet but I'm working on it.. but hey I've pretty much doubled my weight in 10 years so I guess I'm definitely closer than I used to be to letting go..

Anyone want to help to convince me to let go? Any encouragement by private message is greatly welcomed

I've never held back...always ate what I wanted. And it shows!

Did it feel good to give in?

i have definitely let go. it took me a while there i was a bit conflicted i supose but after i gained so much i realized this is really what i wanted. here i am to day, still free and fatter than ever

I have noticed several of my female friends who had children in the last few years have "let go."

I wonder if they view having a baby as an excuse to gain without consequences or repercussions?

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Or better yet done it themselves?
