i am a 17 yr. old 5'10 206+lb. male. within the past few months or so i have piled on 50+lbs. my doctor & parents were alarmed & shocked as you might expect. as i jumped from the 55th to the 96th percentile for my weight...
i am @ plateau now but i intend to keep growing bigger...
my ultimate goal is 269 within the next year or so. i honestly love my newfound softness, rolls & belly bulge. i also love being able to eat whatever and whenever i want. (i couldn't do this when i was thin!)
currently my soft yet "pregnant looking" belly is 46inches around, i am developing "moobs" & i have stretch marks covering my upper thighs...
i want to grow fatter!!
so my question is should i lose weight, stay the same or keep gaining??

I think it's crazy that you would want to be big . . . it sounds like to me that you're just lazy . . . if the only reason you want to be big is so that you can eat whenever or whatever you want . . . . the truth of the matter is, you can eat whatever and whenever you want at any size . . you just have to live with the consequences of it . . . . . . but the truth of the matter is: carrying around that much weight is just not healthy . . and you are putting yourself at a greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses that could be fatal . . . . but by all means, live your life the way you want . . do what makes you "happy" . . but make sure that you are truly happy and can live with the end result of what you decide to do . . .

The fact that you love the new fat look is kind of disturbing, not because you like yourself finally. That part is good. The part I'm wondering is, why didn't you like yourself before? Why didn't you like your body before?
Personally I think you should just eat enough to get full and try to get some exercise, not necessarily to lose weight, but for your health benefit, cardio, etc..

I am glad that you accept yourself while being overweight, though it isn't healthy being overweight. I think that you should lose enough weight so that you are near a healthy weight but still happy with your body image. I suggest u lose anywhere from at least 20-40 lbs. hope i answerd your question. :)

What are you trying to hide from ?????
You may wish to get bigger my questions is why and why you not wish to live longer.
If you insist to get more weight have you thought of weight lifting you will look big and you can stay healthy
If not for you for your family get some professional help as to why you want to self destruct

Actually, if you are serious (which I strongly doubt), the question should be "Should I lose weight or die?"
I sincerely hope this is a joke question. Good luck, either way!!
