I’m only 5’ and I’m a guy… well trans guy. My bmi is 43 and I weigh 225 lbs. I can’t walk as fast as many people already due to my height, but being obese slows me down too.

I want to be at least 240 lbs. All I need to do is gain another 15 lbs and I’ll be there! But since I work a physical job it might be hard to get there…

I got back from a doctors appointment about an hour ago. My doctor asked if I have been dieting and exercising and I said no. She asked if I needed help to lose weight and I said sure just to hear what she had to offer. She mentioned diet pills, but said she was a little weary to give me those since my blood pressure is a little high and these pills can cause high blood pressure. (My blood pressure is 137/85) She also offered a daily injection, but I declined it all. I’m sure many people here were offered diet pills at some point right? This is actually the first time it’s happened to me.

My endocrinologist always has this talk with me when I see her. She tells me different methods of losing weight but I never take her advice. I’m just going to keep gaining.

I would love for this to be a real thing! They have camps to lose weight, why can’t we have ones to gain weight? It would be expensive though so I guess that’s one reason…

I’ve always like fat. I always wanted to be fat too, I remember watching Rugrats at a very young age and wanting to be as big as Angelica in the episode that Chuckie wishes he was never born. It’s just ingrained in my head. I also believe at least the gainers on this site, that we enjoy gaining weight since food brings us pleasure. And that same pleasure we get from food makes us enjoy the weight we gain.

I’d like to get to at least to 260 lbs next year. If I continue to do what I’m doing now I should be able to reach that goal!

Incineroar is the best Pokémon ever IMO! It looks awesome and I love Dark type Pokémon.

When I first started gaining weight on purpose I felt guilty and was too concerned about what others thought about me. It didn’t help that I was living with my parents at the time, and they were a bit concerned about my health. I still feel a little guilty when I go to my endocrinologist office since my endo always tells me that I need to lose weight. I think I should maybe look into getting a new endocrinologist, but I’m afraid any of them will say the same thing. (I’m trans and I need to see a endo, I can’t drop that doctor easily…) After my appointments the guilt goes away though and I go back to gaining again. At the end of the day there’s always going to be people judging you for being big, I say look past those people and do what makes you happy. Society cares too much about what other people do with their bodies and it’s annoying. Life is short, everyone should live the way they want as long as they’re not hurting others.

I have this same problem too and I believe for me it stems from what my mom one told me when I was a kid, that if I ate too fast I would get the hiccups and I hated getting the hiccups so I started eating slow. :V
