When did you naturally gain weight?

Question

When did you naturally go up a solid 10-15lbs due to age for example? Im 24.
Me now with less boobs

My goal:

I've always wanted to be heavier. Having TWO children made me gain 3 semi- permanent pounds. Apetamin didnt work for me. Now I am shockingly prediabetic so I can't afford to gain by unhealthy eating. I dont care that you're big and wish to be small and blah blah blah. I dont want to be buff/muscular, just toned.

Answer

Never, lol. I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy and kept 20 of it for 2 or 3 years after birth but I still looked slender, at no point have I ever looked curvy or voluptuous. 
And i'm fine with that. I wasnt for a long time, but now I am. I am naturally slender and thats okay. 
I think this post illustrates a big problem with putting one particular body type on a pedestal and creating a body ideal. When I was growing up, the ideal was the tall, slim but curvaceous supermodel type, i.e. Victoria Secret models. And now thanks to what I call the Kardashian effect,  voluptuous and curvy is in vogue. And I think thats great for curvy girls. Curvy ladies have been beautiful this whole time and society finally recognizes it. 
But now I see naturally slender girls who are trying really unhealthy methods to attain a body that simply isnt attainable for them. This is not okay.

Answer

So you're prediabetic but you want curves and bigger boobs...well those are mostly made of fat. But you also want to be toned? Your body shape is what it is. If you gain weight there's no guarantee it'll even go where you want it to. I feel like your expectations are a bit unrealistic tbh

Answer

wtf I’m so jealous, I’m trying to do the reverse

Answer

Talk to a doctor. Considering that you are prediabetic, a doctor may advise against gaining weight or be able to give you advice on how to do it safely.

Answer

I don’t know, I’m still waiting. I’ve had 4 kids, I’m over 40 and prediabetic too.  I’ve always wanted curves too, but I think that’s just part of the whole movement pushing “real women have curves” and “men don’t like sticks” and phrases like “skinny bitch” that just get internalized to hate the way you look. I think your time would be better spent on body acceptance and healthy eating/exercise goals.

Answer

Birth control made me gain weight and made my boobs bigger sadly. Depression made me gain weight. Having a baby. Stopping my workout routine. Was 85 pounds 5ft tall at 18, then 95 for a while then 100 went up as I recovered from an eating disorder then with birth control 110 for a long time. Was 113 pre pregnancy and I'm now 123 8 months post partum. Before birth control I had large C cups or D cups and after bc I went up to a 32 DDD.
Gaining weight is different for everyone. But if you are already pre diabetic gaining weight probably isn't a great idea. Talk to your doctor about it.

Answer

Mid twenties. I want to say 26 was when I started finding it harder to work off weight.🤷‍♀️
