I posted on the BHM/FFA board before, but on second thought, this is probably the better place.
As a 52 year old widower, I married a beautiful woman last year who has encouraged(or at least not discouraged) me to gain. She is a wonderful italian cook and has commented on how skinny I was since we started dating.
Well, 8 months of marriage have in fact made a difference. I was about 6'0" and 180lbs or so, and am now almost 200. I was muscular but considered myself lean until recently trying on a pair of pants I hadn't worn in a while, with the results seen in the pic here.

My question is now what? Do i go with it and possibly gain more? I love my wife's cooking, and she seems to love my softer belly, so that's good. I can even fantasize a bit about gaining. I've just never really been fat. This is the most I've ever weighed. It's as if I'm at a turning point now. Pull back now, or gain more? I've read here and elsewhere that weight gain seems to accelerate once you get to a certain point, and I would guess would be very difficult go back once you're beyond that point. Anyone with similar experiences? thoughts?
