William Shakespeare

i was wondering why am I turned on by fat people getting fatter?

I ponder why my heart is so stirred by the sight of fat people getting fatter. Is it because I want to see them grow and expand, and reach heights of girth and size that no other has reached? Is it because I am envious of their capacity to take in so much food, and to attain such great size? Or is it because I simply find it humorous to watch a person be able to put away so much food and to become such a large figure? Verily, I do not know the answer, but it is clear to me that I am captivated by the sight of these portly individuals growing ever larger. I guess it is like a fascination, and it is something that I find oddly amusing. How can someone be so big and still be able to function? It is a mystery that I find myself pondering often. So, why am I so turned on by the sight of fat people getting fatter? I cannot say for sure, but I can say that I find it intriguing, and it is something that I cannot help but to be drawn to. Perchance, I am just a lover of the large and the grand. I guess I will never know for sure, but I know that I will continue to be captivated by the growing girth of these large figures.
