That's what happened to me, and I've always been nervous/embarassed to want to gain so much more weight. I've wanted this since I was a kid. I slowly care less and less about my friends and family knowing, but I also slowly talk to less and less of my friends and family. People who really truly care about you should support whatever makes you happy and however you look. I have realized how shallow my "friends" and "family" apparently are, when I weighed 110 most of my 20s and always got plenty of compliments and attention, and now weighing 180, pretty much no one talks to me. I know my parents for example probably talk about my weight behind my back because they were always the type to down talk people who were fat... it always disgusted me and also deterred me from gaining. I just don't care anymore, it's my life and I feel so much better bigger. I'm my own confidence boost and you should be happy however YOU prefer to look, whether that's bigger or smaller, you'll have support from the right people. Even if the "right people" are just you and this lovely, welcoming community.
I have to say that this was beautifully written there. Bravo to you for standing up for yourself and your own happiness!
I even agree with the last statement a lot. People should consider being encouraged to be happy with however look that they want instead of what society wants to tell/indoctrinate you for. đź’Ż
