This is a great question! I was always very athletic, not necessarily thin, but in good shape. I always fantasized about being fat when I was young as many of my family members were fat. My peer group really prevented me from indulging in my fantasy.
After I got married and started to gain weight, there was a transition period for me. I loved the feeling of watching my body change shape and as many of you have said, the feeling of indulging in whatever you want is very freeing.
Once I passed that transition stage where I was not gaining and losing, but getting fatter, it was incredibly liberating. I love seeing and feeling my body changes. I love feeling the heaviness of my belly and how it moves when I walk. I love the little things about daily life that change with my added girth...having extend the airplane seatbelt all the way to fit, squeezing into a restaurant booth, clothes that start to fit tighter. I often wonder what people may be thinking as I walk by them or accidentally hit them with my belly. I love feeling the soft fat of my double chin interfere with moving my head around.
The fatter I get, the more easily I am sexually aroused. I love the feeling of my belly constantly putting pressure on my genitals as I sit or move. Areas of my body have become much more sensitive to touch, especially my lower belly and my chest. Also, feeling my wife's changing body during sex is an extreme turn-on. I love to feel different parts of her body soften, uncover a new roll, the feel of our soft fat bodies together is something I never imagined to be so incredibly sexy.
Being fat has changed my life in many ways with my own confidence as well as my enjoyment of life!
