Lbs113 during pregnancy. I never looked pregnant, just fat. Went from lbs119 to lbs 232 in 7 months and it took me years to go down to lbs159. Well, then my mid 40s and the pandemic came π

I find it almost impossible to lose any weight now that I'm in my mid fourties... Even with a very restrictive diet, I'm lucky if I can lose a few pounds.
Maybe at some point I'll give up and do the same as you describe in your profile.
I'm around 140 lbs now so I hope I wouldn't end up remotely close to 300 lbs, I'm only 5'1" so over 180 lbs is already obese for me.
I will say there is something freeing about finally letting go an letting yourself gain weight. I first started lurking in this community as a feeder and a total health nut myself. Then after I realized how much work it really takes to keep a 6 pack, I decided to just not worry about keeping my belly completely flat and let it do what it wanted to. I ultimately found the feeling of gaining weight so satisfying I decided I wanted to intentionally do it.
I'm not saying that'll necessarily be your experience but who knows you might surprise yourself. At the very least it may allow you to by kinder to yourself and boost your confidence
