I have always been a 'normal' bmi throughout childhood and most of my adulthood. At 5ft 5 I was between 125-135lbs. I used to hover and yoyo and one day I hovered up to 145lbs and my set point went up and I started hovering between 145-155lbs, still a 'normal' weight for my height.
Then it happened again and I went up to 165lbs.
After that we didn't have a scale in the house but I knew I was around 165-175lbs now, people used to tell me to ''be careful'' because I was verging on becoming overweight.
This carried on for some months till I was at my parents, saw the scale in their bathroom and decided to check. It said 194lbs!!!
That switched a crazy button in me. I had gained 20lbs or more, just like that, and suddenly I got very horny and wanted more. I over-ate. Daily. Yes this continued for some weeks. I stuffed myself during meals. Made sure to sneak at least an extra 1000 or 2000 calories daily, binged on chocolate bars, poured olive oil in all my food, ate ice-cream like there was no tomorrow. I felt my fat padding increasing nearly daily! I liked the feeling! I said I'll just do this till I get to 200lbs since I was so close anyway now. But we still didn't have a scale.
So I was at my parents' again, and decided to weigh myself. Imagine the look on my face when I saw a brand new scale - I asked mum and she said because the old one was broken and was marking like 20lbs over!!!!!!
Meaning when it said 194 I had only still been 174lbs........
Anyway I checked myself on their new scale.
191lbs.
Today I'm 192lbs - my highest ever recorded weight and still rising!
