General

I'm 230 lbs at 5'2, so I'm pretty big already, but that was unintentional. I want to finally start gaining on purpose, but I'm nervous about it, mainly because of my loved ones being worried. How do I make myself take the plunge and just do it?

Just say to yourself I'm going to do this

Can't force yourself to do anything. Either you want to or you don't. I'd make a list of reason for and against gaining to help you decide.

When I started gaining on purpose, I decided to just try gaining 10 lbs. Maybe do that and see how you feel?
