Gaining

pigmom:
For me the point of being a feedee is sheer abject unremitting gluttony. Getting fatter is fun too, but I'm in it for th massive overeating. I'm not trying to "stop" right now, but I'm also not aiming for immobility, so we'll see. I want to keep eating until it's hard to breath; we'll see if I can slow down when my mobility is threatened.

I've intentionally gained to the point where I ballooned up 100 lbs (45 kg) in less than 2 years. Then, facing with fatphobia plus new health issue that scared me, I decided to diet and lose weight. (I wasn't shooting for like size 0- just for thin-ish fat-ish size)

I was only able to lose... 20-30 lbs (about 10-12 kg). I tried to eat healthier and restrict my eating. But... it's so hard to resist the temptation of overeating, especially with delicious food, ESPECIALLY with sweets and carbs. It's hard to break the old habit of overeating anything I want to, whenever I want to. I'd treat myself to one or two cookies. Then with every day passing, it'd be 2 extra cookies, then 4 cookies, and so on. I'd buy a ben jerry ice cream just to eat a bit here and there. Then, without paying attention, I ate the whole thing in one sitting. Before I realized it, my eating habit returned to my gaining eating habit lmao.

I gave up and gained back all weight. xD

Really it depends on what are your motivation at the time. Some people got super bad health scare that it makes them very motivated to eat less. Some got so sick of being too heavy (for them, such as too painful for back, knees, etc) that it strongly motivates them to stay at weight that they feel comfortable and pain-free. But yes, it's challenging to fight the "fat-logic" especially when good tasting food are fattening and available everywhere.

This whole thread describes my experience but the above response resonated with me most. I ballooned up 125 pounds and told myself that I could just pack it up and walk away now sorta like they do on that tv show, Fit to Fat to Fit. But the reality of it was that I missed all the good eating and the erotic fat chat. I lost 50 pounds but I've been slowly putting it back on since February and now all I wanna do is eclipse my former max of 305. Also, finding the time and energy to make it to the gym after lugging all your new weight around all day is almost impossible. I'm starting to think I'll never lose the weight but I'm also more and more ok with it.
