>>9513The media was so obsessed with weight loss in the 2000s, whenever my mum brought me to the supermarket I'd check out the magazines by the checkout and there were often headlines about celebrities gaining or losing weight with accompanying unflattering pictures. I was always drawn in by the hyperbolic wording only to be disappointed immensely by the tiny weight difference displayed.
Still, this reminds me about nigella lawson gaining weight and the media coverage of it. I was already attracted to nigella lawson's thin/curvy body so when people around me in my household commented about her weight gain it picqued my curiosity. I scoured the magazines and then the internet for information of her supposedly massive weight gain and I was disappointed by the pictures but the coverage in words was very hot.

And no wonder, when she was shovelling those candies down her neck the other night - before she got to her destination for dinner. What sort of an example is she with her weight and her appetite for high-calorie sweets and cream?"I think I came across weight gain morphs of her. This was before the current big boom in feedism models so most "reality weight gain porn" was morphs or talk about people in the media. I think that's how I discovered the deviantart fat fetish community and the resulting bbw/weight gain comics and morphs as well as weight gain stories.
That was probably the earliest sequence of events that got me to type the phrases "fat woman", "female weight gain", and "obese woman" into google lol. Not the earliest thing that made me realise I liked fat, but probably the earliest that directed me to communities of people who liked fat.
