Gaining

...are you happier now than before you gained? Why? Or why not?

I love it! I fantasized for years about gaining and finally started deliberately overeating when I retired from the US Military reserves. It has been a great, broadening experience!

I am way more content with it than I thought that I would be when I was younger. The truth is, the fatter you get you realize that people actually don't care about you being big like you thought that they would and that is freeing but some of us like the strange looks but that is the trade off to body positivity. Lol.

I made the decision in my early 30's that I was tired of watching my weight. After several yo-yo diets where I would lose 30 lbs. and then regain even more, I decided I would eat whatever and whenever I liked. I have really enjoyed this approach to life and I weigh 100 lbs. more than when I started. So from that aspect I really love being fat. However there are health consequences that can and will catch up with you as you age. I have high blood pressure which fortunately is controlled by inexpensive medicine, sleep apnea which is also under control but I have to haul a C-Pap machine with me whenever I go out of town, and weakening knees which eventually I will have to get replaced. If I could wave a magic wand and be rid of these ailments and suddenly be a normal weight I would do it. The only problem is I love to eat and I am incredibly aroused by fat women and fat fantasies. So I will remain fat and enjoy my life.

This is absolutely true. If you have the bug and choose to give in, even temporarily, I can't imagine you'll ever been thin again. Being fat is better than you think. Getting fat is better than you think. People bringing up your weight is more fun than you think.

Personally, I've gained 6lbs in the last month, putting me 106lbs fatter than when I started, and I've been amazed at every part of the process (and sometimes scared). Some days I don't feel fat at all, and every day I think about getting fatter. The bigger you get, the more permanent it is.

Very happy. Can't wait to get happier 😁

love the 100 pounds I've put on since 2019

I’ve gained close to 50 pounds on purpose & I love my body now. Wouldn’t have it any other way. & love that I don’t mind eating & getting full. Or over eating anymore.

It feels great besides having trouble fitting in to clothes lol especially when you had so many in the same size for years… i was 220 in high school and got down to 175 from 18 to the start of covid an since then I’m up to 250 or more i haven’t checked in about a month

Honestly, hard to say but probably happier. Lol 20ish years of gaining makes it hard to remember before, not to mention that I started young. But I'm bigger than I ever dreamed and I still enjoy it and want more.

Absolutely and without a doubt. Not that big yet as of this writing, but this takes time. Let's see...

The mass and extra size feels nice, and as I continue to gain weight I expect more built-in softness. I don't feel as fragile as perhaps I once did.

I actually enjoy food now, and not just because the more calories, fat, sugar, carbs, and protein food has, the better it tastes though this helps. I only get disappointed when I get full sooner than I'd like, but as I gain more I expect to be able to eat more. It's a daily joy I didn't have before.

It seems like I get more respect in general, and I have better confidence. At least in the US, there's virtually no social upside whatsoever for a man to be rail skinny.

I get more attention from women than I did before, especially women who are overweight and obese. At least in any area I've lived in, it's pretty rare for me to see a couple with a fat woman but the man isn't. He's nearly always large too. There's definitely a distinct preference. I'm not just gaining to get more attention from fat women, but it definitely helps.

I thus expect it'll be easier to date fat women, the heavier I get.


There's downsides, but most of them don't matter.

Sure, there's some tasks that are a lot harder now, but it's not like I ever really cared about them much in the first place. Jogging several miles? Never got into that. It's also not a bicycle friendly area but I'm not big on that either.

Of the very, very few jobs (virtually none) that have a legitimate, bonafide weight requirement, it's not likely I'd ever do any of them. Even some ladders can support a lot of weight. I've heard cell phone tower technicians used to have a maximum weight of 250 lbs because of safety equipment limits, but presumably that's been increased by now.

At a certain point there might expect severe health or mobility problems, but I don't expect to get that big, and a lot of it is due to genetics too I think. I also don't expect to ever get quite that big, though that point is likely 400+ lbs at average height. I will never get to a point where I can't function independently, assuming access to the various tools and apparatus typical in any developed country.

Some might start saying I'm gross or whatever, but odds are they're gross, fat-phobic types that I wouldn't like anyway, so I'm not losing anything. Or she might be obsessed with aerobic fitness and hate hedonism.

If I somehow do come across a thinner woman I find appealing, I expect she'd be open to a fat man anyway. Perhaps curiously enough, most size contrast couples I've seen are where the man is much larger.

And I guess another downside, is that I have a tendency to think about food more often, and those food ads are much more tempting than they used to be. But that's actually not really a downside at all.
