Gaining

Gastonitza:
I think that's it. The sort-of secret pleasure in physically growing in size. There is so little in the world that we can really change or influence, but we have the ultimate power over our own bodies, or over a willing partner who wishes to experience weight gain. The thrill you get from seeing the scale read just one more pound in the positive, is worth all the risks and nagging you get from "normal" life.

Gastonitza:
There is no doubt about it in my mind, there is nothing as thrilling, fulfilling and arousing as witnessing fat being deposited on someone's body, including your own. From subtle changes to unmistakable ballooning. I have been much bigger before, and through various life events, have lost the weight. Coming up to the festive and indulgent season again, I am already gaining weight again, and although everything around us is shouting, stop! The allure of seeing that first little bulge or roll, or the slow but sure tightening of clothing, is intoxicating. We all know about the health implications well enough, but still we deliberately eat to gain body fat. I think I have always been this way, but in later life, with metabolic changes and more sedentary lives, the inevitable fattening happens with relative ease.

What was it for you? That thing that sparked your obsession to get fat or to fatten another? When did you know it, and is it still as exciting now as it was then?

Gastonitza:
Firstly, I hope you are well and have had pleasant and restful holiday period. Yes, I get pretty hacked off at the way society insists on conformity with narrow views on what is acceptable in terms of body size and shape. People can be hurtfully judgemental and pious about other people's choices if those choices don't agree with their preconceived ideals. It feels like they believe you to be stupid or flawed if you feel happy being fat, or worse, think you just need help to see your faults and come around to their ideals.
All we see on TV, magazines and Internet sites is the "perfect" people, often young and thin, being all happy and fulfilled. Beauty comes from within, and it can come in all shapes and sizes. Larger people should be included and also shown to be successful and happy. If being fat or getting fatter brings joy into your life, then I say, go for it and don't let the bastards wear you down. I wish you happiness and joy, especially at this special time of year.

Munchies:
I've always loved fat. It's soft, warm, mesmerizingly jiggly, and makes you sturdier.

I love it rough and I love to cuddle. And food is a love language to me. A big fat guy that likes loves to eat and can keep up with me just makes sense.

Gastonitza:
Wobbling, jiggling, shimmering... The swish and sway of fat when a large person moves, is hard not to stare it. I have been busted many times, letting my gaze linger just a little bit too long, when looking on in awe at a beautifully big person walks past or sits nearby in a restaurant. I love the way fat forms rolls and can't be concealed by clothing. It just seems so crazy to feel so attracted to fat and fatness, but it must be something to do with bounty, being plentiful, abundant. Being thick and substantial. There is nothing attractive about a stick insect!
