General

I struggled with inhabiting a larger body for a long time, I had just come off of another failed diet for me it’s something that I just learned to love and accept about myself. It’s a long road and what munchies said is 1000% accurate. The road will be much easier to follow if you learn to accept this about yourself.

mind you I’m not saying that you should become fat or whatever I’m just saying to address your relationship with food that is. Only you can decide if getting fat is the right choice, I didn’t give it much thought personally I can count on one hand the times I’ve eaten something with the express intent on it will make me fatter.

I was in the exact same position as you 5 years ago.I was around 210 pounds when I was debating to gain weight over time and I had the exact same conflicting opinions about gaining weight. For me it took 2 years to come to decision that I actually wanted to put on more weight after coming to terms that I'm purely denying myself the satisfaction of gaining weight and eating what I love because I was worried about what other people think of my appearance(this still effects be to this day but to a much smaller degree).

In terms of fitness and health,munchies and the others are right about the exercise part.While it will definitely slow down your weight gain progress,its definitely worth it in the long run for your health if you have the patience .I personally do lot of weight lifting with a little bit of cardio 4 times a week as ive been putting om weight over time but any kind of exercise would work. Also make sure you are still eating somewhat of a balance diet when you over eat since your body still needs basic nutrients to function propertly.Theres still a certain point where if you eat like shit for very long periods of time,it could really take a toll on your health.

For face fat,it really depends from person to person.Some people get little to no face fat when they put on weight and for some their face just begins to balloon up with face fat after like 20-30 pounds.Its really up to genetics how puffy your face gets.For me I started to get a double chin as i began to get close to 300 pounds and its starting to become even more prominent as I get bigger.I have mixed feelings about how my double chin looks on me but I've kinda just grown to accept it overtime. Ice even grown just a little bit fond of it just because it reminds me how big ive actually gotten.
