I have not always been interested in getting fat.  I was both bubbling under overweight and heterosexual until May 2013.

Actually, I also used to agree with health professionals that the rise of obesity in the world was a horrible tragedy—worse, I used to say, than even the Holocaust.  Yet through all this time, I would Google pictures of fat people, as well as get a kick out of fat-related cartoons.  Some of my all-time favorites are:

• Garfield & Friends: episodes "Nighty Nightmare" and "Fit for a King"
• The various retellings and (more specifically) spin-offs of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
• Scooby-Doo and Shaggy stuffing themselves in Zombie Island, The Witch's Ghost, various recent TV series, etc.

—among others.

Eventually, after hearing terms like gainer, encourager, chub, superchub, Grommr, Belly Builders, over and over, I gave in to both this fetish and the desire to get fat myself.  Now, for the record, I don't have a problem with bellies as long as the guy in question wants one.

(Please note: I am attracted to husky men.  In fact, I think husky women are unattractive.)

When I first aspired to gain, my whole health-conscious family (except one, fit, member) was outraged. I think the extreme judgment—and their acting like I was a complete lunatic—played a role in my initial return to the fit life.  If necessary, I'll move away and gain, because it means a lot to me to do what makes me, specifically, happy.  It is not up to my family to save me.

Of course, I realize that some gainers feel obliged to slightly slim down for their health's sake.  I couldn't care less about an early grave; the more grave effects of diabetes are rare, but if they find their way to me, I will, reluctantly :(, take some pounds off my belly.  That is why, at first, I will get (minimal) exercise to help me lose weight if I need it.

And why can't I do it now?

First, my family will act toward me with extreme hostility.

Second, I don't have any money.  Well, okay…I have some, but $700 a month is obviously not enough to gorge myself.

Until then…hello world!
