| I am a 314 pound, 6'3", 31 year old gainer/encourager. I've been gaining, off and on, for several years. My smallest was probably in my second year of college, in 1992, when I was falling out of size 36 Levis, an XL shirt (mostly because of my height and the breadth of my shoulders), and tipping the scales at a concave-bellied, rib-revealing 198. As it stands now, I can barely work my old jeans up over my thighs, much less even attempt to zip them up. I currently vascillate between size 44 and 46 jeans, and am usually able to pull off an XXL (although even this size has started to grow a bit snug around the middle), unless it's XXLTall: why do clothing manufacturers only make shirts for either tall OR fat guys? Why not have shirts both long and wide enough? It's a mystery. Anyways, a penchant for chocolate-chip cookie dough ice cream and a job as a pizza delivery boy "gradually" packed on some major poundage by 1995, when I apparently (according to my doctor) passed 300, although I don't remember that. You'd assume I would. She was so insistant that I was way too young to be so fat that I freaked out and lost the weight, or a significant portion of it, managing to get down to 245. I wasn't all that enthusiastic about losing the weight, especially since around the same time I started losing weight was the first time I learned about gaining, back when Gainrweb was all there was to choose from. After bottoming out, I began to put on weight slowly, not really on purpose, but also not getting upset about it. By October, 2000, I was a respectable 268 pounds, when I was in an automobile accident. My car was totalled, although I was relatively unscathed, except for a broken collarbone, which prevented me from doing what meagre exercise I had been doing. I also spent more time online cruising the gaining sites, and, encouraged by some guys I chatted with, I decided to give into the urge to make myself fat(ter), Since that point (or rather, since April of 2001, since my weight had pretty much stalled until then) I have gained a little over 30 pounds, I have no idea what my ultimate goal will be: I say 350, but it may well be more, and then again, I may decide 325 is big enough to satisfy me. Although, to be honest, it seems increasingly unlikely, in proportion to my own increase. |
