Less than half a year ago, I was a thin guy. Then I gone from 160 pounds to 212 pounds. I enjoy being teased by a fat colleague. She is at least 30 pounds heavier than me, but often laughs at my growing belly and butt. Once, when we were having lunch together, she told me that if I wont stop the gaining, I would be fat like her within six months. Such talks are a good motivation for me to gain weight. I didn't admit to her that I was doing it on purpose.
On the contrary, I hate the opinions of some FF users that my belly is still small - it looks half-formed, etc. In five months, I went from thin to almost obese... My height is 5’ 11" (181 cms). so 212 pounds doesn't make me visibly obese yet, but I can't rush anything. I might end up at 220 pounds because I think I'd be criticized for being skinny even if I will be 240 pounds.
