The reason I even bother asking is because I’m very apprehensive about gaining weight to any noticeable degree. Despite that, I really want to get fat!

For context, I’m a trans woman (19yo) at 140 pounds that has yet to begin HRT, so my fat distribution would probably be more masculine-oriented. 25 pounds, I feel, would be a great way to test the waters; see if I could accept a lifestyle where I’m technically overweight. Moreover, I mentioned my desire to gain to my friends and their responses ranged from apathetic to relatively positive.

However, I debated whether the experience would be worth it if I’m overtly overweight. Now I ask again, given my current status, if a 25 pound gain would be noticeable with my 5’8” stature.

What do you guys think? Should I just go for it?
