"I Gained 100 Pounds In One Year—Here’s How I Did It!"

"I Gained 100 Pounds In One Year—Here’s How I Did It!"

Now there’s a headline I’ve been longing to see for years and years—and yet nobody’s written it thus far.

The internet machine is brimming with tales of people losing 100 lbs., 200 lbs., or more who can’t wait to tell you how they accomplished such mind-boggling feat.

But what would truly be fascinating are stories of how these individuals managed to shovel down so much food and drink in the first place so as to ruin both their bodies and their health.

It’s hard to imagine the level of sheer dedication and persistence required to achieve such an accomplishment, not to mention the cost.

Who were their role models? What inspired them to keep eating even when they felt like vomiting? What was their motivation to continue adding weight even after they found themselves unable run, climb, lift their own children, or do all those things that formerly came so easily? How were they able to adapt to their enormous size and the fact they could no longer participate in so many of life’s everyday pleasures? What’s it like to not be able to see your own genitals for years on end? To embrace the feelings of helplessness due to your not being able to remove yourself from danger? How on earth do you reach around all that fat to wipe your ass? It appears to be physically impossible. Is there some gadget you can buy on Amazon that facilitates this? The questions that come to mind are endless.

These are the stories that would have true value and insight, both for those finding themselves going down a similar path, and for those who care about them while struggling to understand exactly why.
