    Calvin, a man of average build, had always been fascinated with the idea of gaining weight. He admired the way his body felt when he was heavier and had a strange obsession with the concept of being obese. At 160 lbs, he set a target for himself - 600 lbs. This was the beginning of his weight gain journey.

    His daily routine transformed drastically as he started consuming more food. He would eat five to six times a day, indulging in high-calorie foods. Calvin was leaving no stone unturned to reach his weight goal.

    With every passing day, his clothes began to tighten around his expanding waistline. He took this as a positive sign, excitedly purchasing larger clothes to accommodate his growing body.

    The last 100 lbs were the hardest. His body was tired, and every extra pound felt like a struggle. But he didn't give up. He kept pushing, eating more, and moving less.
