I'm 17... negatives of gaining weight?

hi , i'm 17 years old and male. 5ft10" , and 13 stone (182lbs) so a teeny bit overweight.

i'm worried though, because i'm someone who seems to like gaining weight? like when people purposely gain weight and eat a lot to be bigger because they like being bigger.

I seem to like bigger girls my age, and I seem to have this thing where I want to become chubby - like around 15 stone (210lbs).

I'm a fit guy, and will always continue to be - i play rugby / go cycling, but I seem to have this urge to get a big belly?

I don't know whether I really want to or not, but I've purposely eaten a lot over Christmas Day / Boxing Day and I've already put on 4 or 5lbs.

So what will make me stop? What are the negatives of gaining weight?

Cheers

The more weight you carry, the adverse health issues you are likely to have, later in life.  Carrying excess weight burdens your heart, causes cholesterol levels to skyrocket, and makes it much harder to control blood sugar levels.  Each of these items comes with its own set of problems.  

The more weight you gain, the more difficult it will be to get it off.  

It's not uncommon to "over indulge" during the Holidays; I think many of us have put on a few pounds; however, the important thing now, is to work to get it off.  

Those are negatives of gaining weight; only YOU can make yourself stop.  

We'll help you all we can.
