I grew up in a family that centered a lot around food and a majority of my family members were fat. I always wondered what it would be like to be fat, but as a kid and through college I played football and was always in shape, but a bigger guy and would not say thin. In high school I gained about 20-25 lbs per year starting at 145 lbs and ending around 215. I played in college around 225ish and when I finished college football is when I had my first gain. I hit 240 and then lost a bunch of weight in the years between college and getting married.
When I got married I was 185 lbs. Had not been that since I was a junior in HS. I gained a little at first, but was very active still. When my wife became pregnant with our first child, that is when things changed. Call it sympathy gain or whatever, I gained about 20 lbs. Second child. Another 30 lbs. I was about 235 lbs and I started to be more and more attracted to my wife's bigger self and I started to wonder what it was like to be 250 lbs.
The gaining and losing chain started as I blew past 250 and hit 260. Lost to 245 and then gained back up to 270, back down to 250 and gained to 278....you see the pattern. Each cycle of the yoyo, my body changed, started in my belly went to my lower body, to my chest and arms then my chin. I loved the feeling of getting fatter and now there is no more yoyo and I am 294 and climbing gradually. I cannot remember what it was like to be who I once was and have embraced my fatness!
