Just south of Provo, Utah

I started gaining intentionally when I was 19 and moved into my own place. Went from 200 to 225 in just a few months (working as a pizza guy helped). I got into an abusive marriage and slowly grew to 315, but it started to get really bad and I went down to around 250. A few months after my divorce, I started gaining again and got up to ~350. Since then, my physical activity at work became so intense that I went down to about 270 but I've gotten back a few pounds so far.

I'm currently working on a master's degree and my chosen field would allow me to work either in an office or from home. So intentional gains would be much easier.

Not necessarily to death, but far past the point of being able to stand up.

I work in West Jordan, live in Utah County. I'd love to meet sometime!

You're not wrong. I've been on this site for a long time, and it used to be almost exclusively Americans. Although I don't think feedism/FA culture is an extremely widespread thing, I'd bet there are a lot of people throughout the world that would be interested if they knew about it.

That being said, I think the community is growing (pun intended), and I feel it'll continue to expand internationally in the future (again, pun intended).

Same here. It's been on and off for a couple months and sometimes makes the tab crash. But now they're not playing at all.

This is probably just me, but going to 195 would drive me crazy. 200 is a round number (no pun intended). Would you consider going for that if you like the added 10 pounds?

As for being FA, I think I knew pretty close to when I really started to think about sexuality's part in my life in my late teens. That was about the same time I decided I wanted to actually gain a little, too.

When I was about 19, I decided to try to get to 220. It was about 10 pounds for me. Blew past it. After I got married, I got up to around 280, then went down to about 240. Then up to 316. Then down to 260. After leaving my abusive ex a year and a half ago, I've gained up to 350 and have maintained it.

I don't know if there was a single thing that triggered my desire--i think it was always there. It was just the opportunity that was missing.

Flattering. I have a lot of PTSD from an abusive ex, so negative comments can be very triggering.

For me, it was after I got divorced and sized up to 4X t-shirts. I had been wearing 2X. The moment it got me was when I tried to put on one of those 2X shirts and it didn't go down past my belly button. I'm at 336 currently.
