I have set a long-term goal of reaching 275 lbs. As much as I'd like to get there as soon as possible, it's not a great idea. Perhaps when I was younger, but not now. Plus by going slower, I won't blow through clothes.

I know a relatively healthy diet and light excercises are necessary. But does anybody have any other tips? I love fast food and junk food like chips. Should I avoid those entirely?

I have a round belly. But I would love to have a softer, flabbier one.

Nice! I did the opposite this morning. I had breafast at home despite knowing I was going to have breakfast on my way to work!

It was at a track meet when I was in Grade 6 back in the early 90s.

The facility had a snack bar and this girl from my school went a few times. After lunch, she went back to the snack bar and got some fries.

The two things that stand out for me is a teacher said to her, "If you keep eating at the snack bar, you won't be able to do your jumps".

That was fascinating. Like somebody could eat so much food that it would weigh them down so they couldn't do the high jump.

But what woke me up to my fetish was after the fries and the comment from the teacher, she went back to the snack bar and got an ice cream bar. WHOA!

She was a couple years younger than me so we weren't in the same school again until I was in grade 11. She had gotten a bit chubby by then. She was out of my league, but I wish I could have asked her out. Fast forward to when I joined FB and I found her there. She was massive.

I'm flattered, but I'm happily married.

I can't pinpoint any specific moment, but my desire to be fat has always been there. I was a skinny kid, but wanted to be fat. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't do it. Took me all the way til my sophomore year in college before I put on any weight.

But I've also been attracted to fat too. Before I met my wife, I had 3 girlfriends. One was chubby, one was skinny, but gained a bit unintentionally and the other was fat. My wife was fat when I met her, lost some before we got married and has done nothing but gain since. If I had to guess she's 310-320. Possibly more.

So fatness has been a part of me forever. My current goal is to gain past my high weight of 258. I'm thinking 275.

This makes a lot of sense. I have to find a way to get my head in the right place. Like I said, when I gain, I GAIN! I eat a lot of fast food and other junk food at home. I know this is unhealthy, but I love it. I'm in this reckless phase right now. I have to slow down. I can get to my new high and hopefully beyond. I'd like to think I'm in no rush, but the thought of being the fattest I've ever been, wants me to get there faster. This is the constant loop I'm in. And probably why I tend to yo-yo.

I did find it harder to lose this last time. Even with excercising more than I ever have.

And this 11lbs I've gained back (so far!) have come on pretty fast. Usually my gains are fast at the start then level off for a bit then eventually I lose. If I just give in and get fat forever, I should probably change my strategy. i.e. not gain as quickly. What is the best way to gain like 10lbs a year? Instead of 30-40lbs in a matter of months.

I am a life long yo-yo dieter. I was as high as 258 and as low as 155. Right now I am in an upswing, currently at 205 (from 194). When I lose weight I intend to keep it off. Then don't. I know being fat can be unhealthy, but constantly yo-yoing is worse. Should I just give in and stay fat? I mean I'm gonna get fat again anyways. I love it too much not to.
