Gaining

For me, it was always a matter of my own perception. When I was younger I thought 300 lbs would be huge, but when I got there, I really didn't feel that big.

yeah thats the same with me. I thought I would be massive at 100kg/220lbs...well i wasn't haha I was far from being fat or what I would consider being "fat" was. so now im at 265lbs and going for 300lbs. Im sure once im there Ill prob end up going for more.

It could be an addiction but who cares? as long as your happy with your body or actively doing something about getting the body that makes you happy go for it

My original goal was 250. Which to me seemed huge when I started at 150. I found that for me it felt no different than 230. I am now 271 with my sight set for 300. I have a feeling that 300 might not feel much different than 250 and so the goal may be raised again..and again.

the real difference is when the number are lower. You see a big difference from 70-80kgs to 100kgs. After....it's easy piling on pounds, I think

It's definitely a common thing among gainers. It happened to me too. My first goal was 300lbs, which I achieved at the tender age of about 15. When I got to that weight I hardly hesitated in deciding to get even fatter.

I think the pleasure we get from gaining is more than just the added flesh it's also in the process.

When I started I was going to just stop at 200 but when I got there I changed the goal to 210. Then when I got there, I thought, screw it... I only managed to get to 222 at my heaviest and while I would LOVE to just eat without any regard I have some health issues that might make that difficult so now I just find myself incredibly jealous of everyone else who can just eat whatever they want and surround themselves with luscious flesh!

I think perception is very key. I to felt the same, I was right close to 250 Lbs. and years ago I could have never even imagined being that big or having a 48-50" belly.
But for some reason I didn't feel that big a lot of the time and had an urge to get bigger. The same thing goes for when I look at my wife, I want her much heavier maybe 30-50 Lbs. maybe much more and I think she would look beautiful with a 100 Lb gain but she thinks she is Fat currently and I tend to look at her as skinny. These boards have a way of shaping your levels of Fat up the scale quite a bit or changing your Perception of what is big or Fat compared to mainstream.

I will tell you that in the outside world or mainstream I am considered Fat and my wife is considered Fat but it is crazy that I don't even see it that way. If I were to tell any of my friends that I would love it if my wife gained 30-50 Lbs. they would think that I am crazy. In fact my wife look's exactly like my new pic to the left... body size shape, hair, face and everything maybe she a has just a slightly bigger and softer belly with a little hang to it..... just in a drawing. All I can think about is seeing her get fatter because this seems skinny to me. That's exactly why I come to this board for like minded people, talk and interest of this weight gain desire.
