Looking forward to this!

When I was 20ish, I met someone on here that encouraged me to start overeating because she was attracted to fat men and I had already been fantasizing about it for a long time. Over the course of the past 12 or so years, I've been gaining on and off for various reasons (getting bit by the gainer bug) is kinda how I've phrased it. I used to be an underweight 125lb string bean and now I'm knocking on the door of 200lbs.

I am also curious as to where it'd be. My thought processes are along the lines of either going to state with the highest obesity percentages like Mississippi, or someplace that usually prides itself on things that are bigger like Texas.

Was definitely a 2 when I first found this site.

12ish years later with slow on-again, off-again gainer kicks and I think I'm solidly a 4, even though I'm a month's worth of being a glutton away from being clinically obese. Some of my shape is attenuated by muscle, but with my shirt off, someone would definitely say I'm chubby. Very much in dadbod mode.

28.1, the biggest I've ever been

Pretty boy classmate of mine in high school was very scrawny throughout the time we were there.

Saw him again about three years later, he'd married his high school sweetheart and they'd started a family, and he's standing there behind the counter at the bank with a full on chubby gut and moobs pressing against his dress shirt.

I would've been impressed if it turned out it was intentional, but it wasn't. Looked him up now, he's definitely lost the weight. He seems to be thriving right now.

I was partial to "well-fed"

Last I posted here I was like 21ish BMI

27.3 now

21.4

kinda smol

Pretty much what Ditzy said. I think you're in a good position to give it a shot. Just pace yourself at meals, make sure you don't go stuffing yourself to absolute bursting, otherwise you can get sick and throw it up, or if you do it too often, you can burn yourself out on the idea.

If your grandma is the type that loves cooking or keeps offering snacks, absolutely take advantage of that. People think of large meal stuffings, but you'd be amazed how much weight you can gain with constant snacking.

Good luck!
