Please rank the following reasons as they apply to you (and add more if you can think of any):
1. You like fattening food.
4. You like to overeat.
3. You're tired of feeling guilty about your weight or appetite.
6. You hate dieting.
5. Your significant other wants you to gain.
2. You find it erotic.
Let me redo these to avoid confusion (the number is not the rank!)

Artur--
I think you've found a substitute for gaining: agonizing about how conflicted you are in a public forum.
Glad we could help!

Freedom trapping you? That's the human condition in a nutshell, man. I couldn't have said it better myself!

You're not a bad person for wanting her to gain, but you may be a bad boyfriend if you keep going on and on about it.

I've had partners who lost weight. It was hard but I eventually adapted. I can't say it will be the same for you, but it might. Hang in there.

The thing is, when you make the goal you don't know as much as you know when you reach the goal. 150 may sound big enough when you're 120, but then when you become 150 you realize it isn't.

Sorry, did not want to misquote you.
Well, if you are fat, you don't need to run and hunt ;-)
You can sit home and work on better tools to hunt, you don't have to constantly be on guard and fighting to survive and not starve.
So after a time of plenty when everybody could eat themselves fat, the pressure was off compared to when you are thin.
Fat is after all energy reserves. We got that, after life taught us that having no reserves is deadly if you have to run for months and maybe years without food.
There are times and places where it's better to be fat, and times and places where it's better that some people are fat and some aren't.
But if you're saying it's ALWAYS advantageous to be fat I'll respectfully disagree. Maybe we can debate it at the next meet-up!

I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. Feeder, in the old times being fat was a huge advantage, because you would survive bad times, while your thinner contemporaries starved to death.
Actually I didn't say that. The reality is more complicated I fear.
While SOMETIMES being fat is an advantage, e.g., in times of food shortages, a lot of the time it isn't. E.g., it's harder to hunt, flee from your enemies. So obesity and attraction to it has varied a lot over the years and between societies. Really, storing energy as fat is pretty inefficient. It's better to store food and stay thin if you can.
So what I'm saying is the human race is a mix of tendencies to gain and not gain. Feedists happen to have inherited more pro-fat tendencies than other people, and likely have gotten certain environmental triggers to get that going.

I'd like to be the grant manager for the Feeder Foundation, which would give out lavish "feederships" to women who want to get extremely fat but who are held back from gaining by financial concerns.
