If you are overweight and fat by conscious choice, is that a disease or wrong?

I have been getting many opinions on my current state - I am an obese man who weighs 375+ pounds. I wanted to be large and decided to add weight during the last two years, which turned out to be 100 pounds. Certain people wonder why I would do this which makes me want to make sure I am this size for the right reasons and that as I grow larger that will be for the right reasons. I am not addicted to food and have successfully in the past taken off the weight. This is a new level of weight for me but I remain healthy and consciously want to grow much larger - probably over 500 to 600 pounds. I understand the risks. To me a disease means there is something wrong that is not in your control or that you cannot cure on your own. This is in my control - obviously since I ate my way to this size - and it will be in my control as I grow more. I can and will stop when it does not make sense. Just to be sure, I don't think I have a disease. I just love the size I am and will be.

I have been down this path. I started at a normal weight in high school. College was another story. I maintained my exercise but also started to gain weight. At 6 feet I could handle it. By the end of college I was 250. I married after college and my wife liked to cook and eat. So we did. I think she also liked large men. I always liked to eat and I would finish whatever she made. Since my job was an office job, I started gaining more weight. By the time I was 25 I was close to 400 pounds. And I kept growing. I loved it and enjoyed the fact that I could make the choice along with my wife. Now I am 30, working in a good job and weighing well over 500 - almost 550. That comes with challenges - getting clothes that fit well, staying mobile (I try to walk even though it is slowly since my center of gravity keeps changing). I take the bus evvery day and have to walk a block to the office. I always get comments and stares but I also get people who will offer me their seat because of my size. Do I think I am diseasied - no. Am I happy yes? Could I lose the weight - I don't know and right now I don't care. Good luck with your choices - you seem to making the one you want.
