I want to ask people who were thin before and decided to gain weight. After you gained weight, do you regret doing it? If you don't, then share your experience of gaining weight. How did you do it?

I starting putting on weight right after quitting wrestling to focus on my school work in college I yo-yo’ed with my weight until my late 20s when I was 300 pounds I kinda just gave up on trying to lose and it’s when I found fat acceptance and later on feedism and it just clicked in me; I was fat liked being fat and I didn’t need to feel guilty for it- after a while I started gaining on purpose and that’s been with me since. I don’t regret it at all, in fact if I were to regret anything it would be not being more accepting of my body earlier

It's great that you've found acceptance and comfort in your body! Was there a specific moment when you realized you didn't need to feel guilty about your weight anymore?

It was the realization I wasn’t going to lose weight after failing a diet yet again, I was scared being over 300 for a while yet but I learned to love and accept my body now I’m much much bigger

I understand you... Sometimes the realization doesn't come right away, but the main thing is that you found acceptance and comfort in your body. This is inspiring! How did you come to not just accept, but actually love yourself for who you are?

Reading up on fat acceptance and delving into feedism, that and I let my appetite completely out of control during the pandemic food delivery apps allowed me to not feel restricted like I had been now I just eat however I want but back then I’d feel self conscious ordering double entries now I don’t even hesitate even when I’m out to eat

I used to be dangerously underweight to the point I was almost institutionalized over it. I managed to gain to the higher end of the healthy BMI range and have never regretted it at all, although there are a few garments I miss fitting into! It’s also difficult for me to eat enough to maintain my weight sometimes.

The initial thing that allowed me to gain weight after years of trying and failing was a combo of the depo provera shot and appetite stimulants, then after I had gained about 20 pounds from that and had to quit the shot due to side effects, I gained another 30 or so pounds by forcing myself to eat more and drinking heavy cream. Sadly I did lose about 15 recently from not eating enough, but I’m working on gaining it back, hopefully with a little extra.

It sounds like for you it wasn't just a change in diet, but a real shift to freedom in the way you relate to food and yourself. What was it like to stop feeling shy and just enjoy what you want?
