I was "husky" growing up, overweight, but not hugely fat. I was still a bit heavy in college, but I got sick (pneumonia) right after college and lost a substantial amount of weight and kept it off for years. I joined the military reserves, which meant I had to stay in shape for twenty five years. Toward the end of my service, I found it more and more difficult to meet weight standards. I retired from the reserves in 2013, and that is when I have started my active gaining. I'm up about thirty pounds. I'm now fifty pounds heavier than when I got married. My wife who is a BBW, has not mentioned anything about my gain, though I make no effort to "suck it in".
I'm also old, late sixties, so being heavier and old is far more accepting in society than being overweight and young. I hope this makes sense.
