What are your experiences did you set a goal weight for each month or did you just eat everything you could find what are some things you wish you knew before you started stuff like that
The short answer is "my whole life", since I've always been fat, and even as a kid, showed up fatter every school year.
However, I spent most of my early twenties (I'll be 30 in a few days), between 325 and 370. It wasn't until I lost some weight and then decided to regain that I achieved what most would consider super obesity. In about a year, I gained more than 270 pounds with extremely large stuffings several times each week, and constant grazing between. My gain came from giant quantities of high calorie foods, like pizza, bread, tons of cheese and other dairy, fried food, and burgers. Those habits did have some major medical consequences, but as far as packing on the weight, it definitely worked quickly. Basically, you have to be comfortable being about to burst around the clock, and unless you have unlimited financial resources, factoring in your food budget as a major part of your living expenses.
Currently weighing about 570, which is where I hope to remain.

I don't want to be immobile, and I really had a mega scare with some health issues this year, so I wouldn't say either are a turn-on for me. However, I did want to be as fat as I could possibly get, and I also just love eating and feeling stuffed. That meant some loss of mobility, building in accomodations, and loss of access to some spaces and activities. I was okay with that. I wasn't okay with heart surgery at 29. Now, I seem to genuinely be maintaining at 571 - 574 and am following a diet for heart patients. My doctors all want to see weight loss, but if I can achieve a few other health goals without ever dropping below 500, I'll be very happy.

The only thing I'm still apprehensive about (and this was true 200 pounds ago too) is not having access to a bathroom. My body won't fit in an airplane bathroom regardless of the plane model, and even if I could squeeze inside, getting up and trying to heave a 570 pound body around an aircraft is much less than ideal. It's about a 3.5 hour flight, so I'll limit fluids and be sure to use the restroom right before boarding.

So much for taking it easy on the food today I ended up having 2 subs 4 cookies and 2 bags of chips I guess it is lighter than a greasy burger lol
Me when I was gaining and regularly stuffing: "I'll eat lighter today. I'll get a hoagie with vegetables."
Me thirty minutes later at Subway: "I'll have two 12 inches on white with meatballs and double mozzarella and a 12 inch turkey and cheese with ranch dressing."
*Wolfs down a whole sub before leaving the parking lot while my belly brushes the steering wheel*

Hio, I'm very anxious to write about this but here we go.
For a very long time now I have had difficulty with my own body image. I love gaining, the lifestyle and I'm definitely happier but.
When browsing on here or whereever else I can't stop comparing, pinching and padding myself down. I know this might be a general problem but I was not sure if it fit there since it is very much fat related. Being trans might also add negatively to the issue. I'm worried that no matter how much or where I put on weight it's not going to be enough.
Has anyone else felt this way and has some advice on how to ameliorate this terrible mindset?
Munchies:
I'm not trans, but I have body dysmorphia. For those who don't know what that means, it's when you have a distorted view of what you look like. Mine isn't so bad right now, but it used to be terrible.
I used to be underweight due to having a health issue. I hated how I looked, so I started gaining. However, even when my scale and clothes told me I put on weight, I kept seeing my old underweight body. On top of all that, I was in an abusive situation and couldn't get therapy.
What worked for me was standing naked in front of a mirror and telling myself something I liked about my body. I kept it up until I liked what I saw most days.
I'm so glad you found a strategy to promote self-love and also that you left left an abusive situation! You deserve nothing but the best and especially a partner who appreciates and respects you.

I love palmetto cheese! I once ate two containers of it with a bag of pita chips. Of course, after that, I didn't đź’© for days, but I digress... LOL

Definitely not the most exciting list but I am a pretty basic eater. McDonald’s is generally my go to because it fills me up with basic fast food for a reasonable price.
Morbidly A Beast:
Culver’s is pretty Goated ngl
Bigdoug:
Culver’s made it into my top tier because of the cheese curds! Their burgers are good, but on par with many other places, what sets them apart are the cheese curds!
Morbidly A Beast:
I really like their custard ice cream I used to get two triple Wisconsin Swiss mushroom patty melts a large basket of cheese curds a large concrete mixer and 6 tenders but the Culver’s near me closed big sad but my colon probably thanked me, I probably didn’t poo for a month after I’d eat all that
.
Your Culvers go-to order is identical to mine! I'd sometimes add the chili cheese fries too.

I've been stuck in my old Camry after a major weight gain, a Hyundai (Uber), and a bathroom stall. I also once had to change hotel rooms because I was too fat to fit in the shower.
Ditzy:
Oh yeah if I take an Uber I let them know a really small car is very hard to get in or out of for me.
I definitely had a moment of panic. I knew when I was squeezing in, it was going to be a struggle. What I didn't factor in was that, once inside, I wouldn't be able to maneuver at all, and even with the door open as wide as possible, I couldn't quite turn to get my legs out. I had to try different angles, and I had a couple of bruises the next day.

I could eat fresh bread, cheese, pepperoni, and hummus until I burst. Bonus points if the bakery and "fancy" cheese section are next to each other.
