I love the naughtiness of it all. Being able to throw caution to the wind and just indulge in all the delicious foods and sweets that you won't without having to factor in or even care about society's pressure to be thin. When I first started gaining I realized just how many foods I had...
I feel the same way too and have recently started to actively gain again. Not sure how long it will last but I figured I'd run with it while I felt like gaining.
I think it's normal and okay to change your mind.
I heard that those before and after diet ads are actually backwards. They usually pick some really buff person and take the before picture and then have them gain weight for the after picture.
Oh to get paid to get fat... haha...
Wow congrats. I wish I could have the confidence and self esteem that you have about your gain. I have such difficulty when people say things about the weight I've gained. I wish I could just push all their opinions aside and get on with it. It's amazing that you have. What an inspiration...
I completely agree! I just don't get how weight seems to be a normal topic of conversation! It seems like all anyone in my life can talk about is their diet.. whatever ridiculous mainstream fad diet they seem to be on.. it's ridiculous. And whether you lost weight or not a lot of people...
Okay so last year my boyfriend now husband convinced me to gain with him. A year and circa 35lbs later, it has been a lot of fun but now it seems that everyone in my life is against me. My parents have flat out berated me for my weight gain as if gaining any weight meant I was weak and a loser...
Replying to your original post, I'd have to say medium. 230 isn't really that much. Yet. But congrats on the 50lb gain. Keep us posted on your progress :)
I went from 185 on December 12, 2008 to 226 as of December 31st 2009 so that is 36 lbs.
I'd like to keep going in 2010 but I am getting too much outside pressure to lose weight so I may go on hiatus.
Sadly not as good as I had hoped. He fluctuates between a gain of 10-17lbs. It's so not fair. I've now put on 31 since we started and he's only half way there to match me and it was HIS IDEA! Oh well.
Wow thanks everyone for your compliments. I appreciate it. I have been having mixed feelings about the new weight as of late and it helps when everyone is so supportive :)
I have gone from 192 to 214 so far this year. I started gaining on Dec 12 2008 and I have gained nearly 30 lbs since then.
January 2009 192 lbs
August 2009
I"m sure I'll be putting on more before the year is out.
