Gaining

A feeder that had no one to feed but myself. Love the change and has never stopped.

I like to eat lol

I admired fat so much, that I wanted my own. Something about the way it bounces, and doing things to intentionally make oneself fatter made it very fulfilling.

I’m fat because I enjoy being fat. My mother and sister were always thin. I started getting chubby when I was eight. Since I am younger than my sister, I became the fat sister. My mom tried putting me on several diets and I couldn’t picture myself being skinny anymore.

Both of my aunts were like role models to me since they were fat. I had lost some weight before. But, I wasn’t satisfied. Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be fat. Now, I’m tipping the scales around 250-lbs.

I got fat early in elementary school, much to my mom's chagrin. Even as a kid, I loved to eat and to be full, and I was fascinated when my belly got bigger. By middle school, I was obese, and I just kept getting fatter through high school.

I've always enjoyed food, and I love the feeling of a belly that's been pushed to its limits. That "couldn't contain one more bite" feeling is absolutely rapturous. While I haven't stuffed in a long time, if I could, I'd be packed to my limit all day, every day.

I also like the way I look as a big person. As I've reached extreme obesity, I've become more confident in my appearance.

Finally, there's a "challenge" aspect to gaining. At one point, I lost to my lowest adult weight. Obviously, I disliked it, because I've intentionally put on 450 pounds over the years since. In my regain, I've become verrrrrry round and carry a massive amount of visceral fat for someone my size. My sitting waistline is shockingly big, and I've enjoyed just how large my belly has gotten in proportion to the rest of my "also fat" body. If I could set some kind of world record without decimating my health, I swear I would.

I'm fat because I want to be. I have a fast metabolism and never was a big eater growing up, so it took a suprising amount of effort to become and stay fat.

Because I am trying to get bigger, Serious Mass (no, I'm not sponsored) is helping a lot. I've always wanted to be fat, but only recently have I really started putting on weight. I'm not really fat yet, but hopefully soon I will be.

Puberty and psych meds hit me HARD with the fat stick. Given that this was the 90s and heroin chic was the in thing, this kicked off years of yo-yo dieting. Which, of course, made me fatter in the long term. Eventually I discovered the old Dimensions forums and gained the confidence to stop dieting. I gradually got fatter and fatter just eating what I liked, until I was full.

These days I'm not making an effort to gain for financial reasons. Stuffing is something I save for special occasions, and I try to eat a balanced diet to stave off the family diabetes. My weight has settled at about 340 lbs, +/- 10. Some bodies just want to be fat.

Well-said and all the best on your plan! 👍

it's interesting to read the different perspectives everyone is sharing.

i got fat somewhat later in life (like 40-ish), i found fat people attractive, but never saw myself that way. my self-image had always been that of a fit person. it was a partner who was a real gourmand who introduced me to the true "joy" of food, really taking an interest in flavours and textures, and appreciating as something more than just a means to an end... and so i started to get fat.

so for me, it was more of an enjoyment of the lifestyle, i think. as a fat admirer and part of the whole feedism community, the appreciation of my changing body was there, but not really the driving force.
