That's pretty cool you're a writer by profession. I'm a hobbyist myself, but I think I do a good job.

What genre do you write, if you don't mind my asking?

I text similar to how I talk. For example, I typically pause a lot when I talk for emphasis and dramatic affect. So I will break up my texts based on that.

I do write in paragraphs occasionally, but only when I feel it will improve readability. No one has complained thus far, but I also don't spam people either. I will only send one or two texts initially, then wait for a response to decide how chatty I should be.

Diabetic here. I've been type 2 diabetic all my life, so I know a thing or two about things. My diabetes is thankfully diet control.

First off, you have to get your sugars under control. You do not want a life of sticking your finger to check your sugar. My fingers are permanently marked from all these years of sticking myself.

It would be best to cut back on the simple and complex sugars. Simple sugars are sugars the body can break down quickly. So, things like cake, fruit, and candy. Complex sugars are sugars the body takes time to break down. Think bread, potatoes, and rice.

You can gain without spiking your blood sugar, but the rate you gain will take a hit. You'll need to switch to healthier foods. I recommend taking a look at this wikiHow:

You can still eat the sugary, starchy stuff, but you must be very stringent. I recommend checking your sugars before and after to figure out your limit.

If I want to have cake and ice cream, I forgo sweets for the rest of the day and then have a small portion of each.

You are welcome.

Try standing in front of the mirror every morning and admire yourself. Pose, flex, whatever you like. Go out of your way to find something about yourself that you like. Your self-esteem will go through the roof.

The cook thing about gaining weight on purpose is you can stop whenever you want. If you want to be soft and cuddly, you can. If you just want to be a little thicker, you can also do that.

And don't worry about what others think of you. Scrawny or fat, your body is your own business. Focus on what makes *you* happy because at the end of the day, you are the one who has to live in your body.

Honestly, I prefer mine enthusiastically willing. Not necessarily because I'm a good person but because it strokes my ego. But I would like to parade my feedee around naked and leashed. Perhaps going to a buffet and eating until his clothes rip off his fat, bloated body.

And most certainly I would like to get handsy with him in public. Show the world all the hard work I put into making him like this. My spoiled pet, plaything, and living sculpture.

I'm empathetic considering we used to be in the same boat. I was rather underweight for most of my life. I was 110 - 115 lbs at 5'7". My mom had it in here head this was the perfect weight for me even though I was rather underweight.

I wasn't a fan of my weight and tended to get sick a lot. For me, gaining weight was both for the kink and me just hating my size.

I put on 5 lbs and was happy about it. I was just on the edge of a normal range. My mom freaked out and fat shamed me even though I was far from it.

I craved in and lost the weight. I felt more miserable than ever. Eventually, I just decided that my mother was insane, and I do not need her opinion about this.

I decided to gain weight and ignore her. It was hard. She'd pick at me every moment she got. I had to stand my ground. Eventually, she got the message and hasn't talked about it since.

You mention you're extremely underweight. Why would your loved ones judge you for gaining when you are underweight? Not even to get fat, but just to have a normal bmi?

Often. Not as much as some people as I tend to keep to myself. But when I venture out to the greater population on here? Oh yeah.

You did the right thing standing your ground and reporting that person. Not everyone on here is like this, but there are a handful of people who are.

I started out at 115, and wanted to be 200. I am now a muscular 168. And my weights been stable.
