I've done this, it's freaking delicious with liberal amounts of sugar thrown in.

More awareness among the population will be a mixed blessing most likely. It'll mean more trolls on feeding sites, simply because more people know about it. But it will also mean more sincere members. It could also lead to professionals trying to "fix" us though, kind of like they tried with the LGBT community at one point.

It's hard to say whether the net outcome will be good or bad.

Best advice I can give you is remember little things that she says in passing. Women don't usually expect guys to give too much attention to detail. But if you do I'd imagine that would make her pretty happy.

*I heard that somewhere, probably a movie or a book I read...*

Fastfood is alright, but it's not the healthiest. What I'd suggest is you become a "bargain shopper". Clip coupons. If you use coupons correctly you can double or even triple the amount of groceries you can get on a given amount of cash.

Another thing I'll suggest is try to find healthy foods that are also calorically dense.

Exactly when I first started gaining on purpose I was a young teen. And when I'd reach my "goal-weight" I'd take a minute to think, sort of look myself over...and every single time I thought, "Hmm, I think 50 more pounds..." without fail.

For me it was so much about the process that any goal I reached seemed too low when I finally reached it. I'm hooked on the feeling of outgrowing clothes and being bigger and softer.

But as Max said it's always important to re-evaluate your gaining when you reach any of those "goals". Just don't be surprised if it doesn't feel like enough.

Try a catalog/website called Living XL. They have everything from chairs to scales. I think they even have some clothes too.

When I was younger I wanted to be all kinds of things. Mostly crazy things that you can't be *read this a Lion, a Wizard, etc*. But by the time I got into High School I started to think about becoming a teacher, partially because that's what my mom was going to school for at the time *working toward her Masters*.

Now that I'm in University I've thought more about it and I want to get my Doctorate and teache University level Biology.

This is true, I've been gaining purposefully since I was 13-14 years old. And so have reached a current weight of 480-ish pounds.

That being said, I would not consider myself a slob. I'm almost compulsive about my own hygene. If I miss a shower even one day I feel disgusting and oily.

And I'm not exactly lazy either, I make a point to always walk upstairs rather than taking the elevator up *I do take the elevator down most of the time, once you reach these high weights the impact of walking downstairs isn't the greatest for your knees, whereas walking upstairs is actually beneficial for the knees and back.*

Just about the only thing about me that could be considered "slob-ish" is the fact that I don't generally fold my cloths...but let's face it, I'm a male college student lol.

I know a bit about growing things like corn, tomatoes, green beans, and mustard greens. When I was young my parents had a fairly large bit of land that they grew vegetables in. I've also taken a few botany cl***es, if that counts for anything when it comes to agriculture lol.

Though the problem with me being your farmer is just about any plant I try to grow dies. It'll look like it's doing good for a while and then just boom keel over dead one day...

I once managed to gain ~40lbs in about 5 weeks. Though it was due to me having just come off of a diet and immediately plunging back into binge eating.
