So for those of you who have tried an experimental gained (gained a small amount of weight--10 or 20 lbs or so--to see if you might like gaining more):
1. How much did you weigh to start with?
2. How much did (do) you plan to gain experimentally?
3. Did you gain the experimental weight as planned?
a. Yes, but decided to lose it.
b. Yes, but decided to maintain right there.
c. Yes, and decided to gain more.
d. No, haven’t yet.
e. No, I decided not to.
f. No, gained some of it but then decided not to gain more.
4. How much do you weigh now?

Lose ten pounds. The regain is usually faster, more intense and more extensive than the original gain!

If you like such questions, more power to you!
If not, the best answer to nosy questions (even non-food-related ones) is: "Why do you ask?"

I have encountered a few people who regret gaining in the first place or who regret gaining as much as they did...but they don't hang around on wg sites much. Asking here skews your answers in favor of gaining.
It's a risk either way. By gaining intentionally you risk getting bigger than you want; by not gaining you risk never living your dream. Only you can decide.

MrsJellyBelly:
I use upper thigh measurements since it doesn't fluctuate with consumption/digestion
Plus, for women, it doesn't vary with the time of the month!

Of course peoples' appetites usually get better as they gain--they can not only eat more than before, but they really want to.
Has this happened to you?
Has the change in appetite been gradual, or have you had "bumps" where your appetite changes dramatically overnight? If so, how did you notice the change? What do you think caused the change?

You could just stuff every other day!

Never been to Culvers, but after looking at your pics it is one of my favorites.
