I’ve gained 30 pounds in the last two years. The problem is that I don’t feel fatter at all. If I directly compare pictures or try to wear old clothes it’s obvious that I’ve gained, but without any comparison it just feels like I’ve always been this size.

At what point will I actually feel fatter without having to resort to comparison? Do I need to gain faster so changes are more apparent?

That's the thing, you gained really slowly so it's barely noticeable. When I started feeling fat around 250 and liked it I really started trying to gain.

Serious amounts of garbage food and heavy cream put nearly 40 lbs on me in about five months - that was (and still is) noticeable for sure.

My first gains to years so the change was gradual.
I was gaining and people noticed but I didn't feel fatter.
My weight really started going up when I was put on Dilantin by my Dr.
The next 2 years all I did was sit at home eat and get fatter.

I wasn’t intentionally trying to gain but when it got to the point where none of my clothes were fitting and I needed to size up I started to feel fat. Before that point I noticed subtle changes but I was in denial and my boyfriend constantly encouraging me wasn’t helping.
