Ah man, this little sub-board's seen better days, hasn't it? Hmm.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm going anywhere with this topic, but as I've crossed the line into "fat-dom" lately (I'm around 230), it feels like I've almost turned into a different person in some ways. The physical changes are obvious both on the outside and the inside (to me, maybe more the latter actually), and it feels really weird having to reclassify myself as "fat" when I've always been at most chunky, and since I'm probably gaining more, I can only imagine the feeling getting more pronounced as time goes on. Socially, it's not that I feel like I'm more or less worthy because I'm bigger, but the changes sometimes hit me at odd moments...if this makes any sense. It's either positive or negative depending on the context, but I remember when I didn't have either, and I wonder if that was maybe a more simpler time.
Does anyone here who's gained weight purposely (especially starting at a close to "normal" weight) still have this kind of feeling, or does it pass in time?
