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?

Finickyfeedee:
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.

Thanks for sharing your story! It sounds like your journey wasn't easy, but it's great that you were able to reach a comfortable weight and don't regret it. How did you feel when you were gaining? Was there a moment when you realized you were actually feeling better?

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?

You are exactly right. It was freeing, like a kid in a candy shop lol. I just let my appetite dictate my diet unconcerned with calories or what it was, if it tasted good I wanted it and I got more

As someone who’s trying to start their thin to fat journey, it’s all about taking control over myself. Of course I love fat bodies as well but a big factor in it is deciding what my body is like outside of any outside pressures. Plus big butts are in vogue so why not lmao.

I started at a BMI of just 15.

Took many repeated attempts of eating to a minimum of 4000 calories a day to gain weight. I tracked these on a spreadsheet. Appetite was not good then and I usually gave up. Had a fear of carbs that made it harder.

I was about 120 lbs when I started college, but got busy sophomore year, worked out less and was less restrictive about what I ate. By the end of the year I was about 30 lbs heavier. I decided to try gaining about 10 lbs on purpose Junior year. I had an all you can eat meal plan and kinda let myself indulge. My story is posted on here if you wanna know more, or say hi

Im still thin, but off and on work towards wanting a pot belly. Sometimes it gets really big and I love it but then I get caught up in work and things and forget to maintain the calorie count high enough to keep it since I have a high metabolism.

I think its a lifestyle I cant really afford to settle in right now even though I am finding out ways where I can better accommodate it so I can really get fat.

But until then lol
