As a self-proclaimed scientist, I can confirm that this indeed may very well happen.

Would you rather: Continue to inflate forever and have no way of stopping OR Inflate until you'd 'realistically' pop

I wouldn't be a wimpy goddess either, I'd be Lovecraft levels of incomprehensible, And I'd be old testament goddess levels of cruel.

Ooh, tempting...
Well, as Maggie said, becoming a universe would be pretty fun... always had a fantasy that I'd be so big people could live on me... but I think the inflation would eventually lose its novelty, mostly due to the sheer size I would inflate too. I'd be too big to properly enjoy it and if I get bored (which I doubt I will), there'd be no end in sight if I ever want to do anything else.
Therefore... I choose to pop, since I'll be able to enjoy it better despite the fact I'll die. Plus, I get a little kick out of popping or near popping.

Popping to me = death. So If I could only inflate to a less than Beauregard size, I'd have to choose forever.

I have to agree with ACG. Never pop, live inflated forever :)

I'd want to get like the size of violet from Charlie and the chocolate factory remake. And I would eventually BURST LIKE AN OVERFILLED, BALLOON BOY! :-)

Even though I'm more interested in popping for stories, I would rather become this huge orb of a human and become a part of the Universe. Maybe people could worship me and become fat to appease me! :)

Now this is a good plan! Maybe get some sacrifices of hamburgers or bike pumps every few weeks to spice things up a little.

I'd pop on the condition that five or ten seconds before I go, I get to see a preview of how big my explosion is going to be--KRABOOOOOM!

Define "realistically" pop. The thread title leaves it awfully vague.

That's kind of up for debate really, but let's go with to the point where as soon as the inflatee is completely round, the skin starts getting tighter faster than it can stretch.

I'd have to say pop. It sounds worse on the face of it, but after a few days or weeks of swelling infinitely, surrounded by nothing but my own bloated body as far as the eye can see, I'd probably wish I could pop.

Im going to have to go with pop as well. Infinity is a long goddamn time.

For those not interested in the "eternal inflation" option, I offer this:
It could be a slow growth. Let's say you inflate to about 7 feet around and then add 1 cubic foot of volume every minute until the end of time. Although you'd be adding volume at a steady rate, your increase in diameter would slow considerably as you got larger:
7ft -> 8ft: ~90 minutes
8ft -> 10ft: ~4 hours
10ft -> 20ft: ~2.5 days
20ft -> 50ft: 42 days
50ft -> 100ft: 318 days
100ft -> 250ft: 14.5 years
250ft -> 500ft: 109 years
Remember that those numbers are cumulative. So in your lifetime you wouldn't come close to being half as tall as the tallest skyscrapers in the US. Of course, that's still pretty big but hardly universe-sized.

Realistically speaking universe continues to pop forever with no way of stopping
Well, If I never stopped growing then at some point I'd outgrow Earth, Then the Solar System, Then the Milky way, And then the universe.
And if I know anything, And I mean anything about how this works, If I outgrow the universe, I'll collapse in on myself and become a new universe, Thus giving me godly powers, And I get to be the goddess of a new universe!
or, at least, that's how it worked in Akira... Sort of..
