A little over a year ago I did my first ever stuffing (I also made post of it on here) in short: it was amazing. I've had this fetish for as long as I can remember but mostly fantasized about it. And I was terrified of bringing it up to my partner. I know they're not into this fetish, gaining weight, and they're also not necessarily attracted to bigger bodies. But we do have a very steady and secure relationship and talk about anything and always been open minded to each other's point of views, feelings and opinions.

I had nothing to be scared of, and yet this felt like such a huge secret I had kept for myself for so long it became this bigggg thing in my head. Anyway.

A few days ago, as we were having our date night, I told them I noticed I had been gaining weight over the past months and didn't mind, actually liked it, and felt happier and more secure in my body.

They responded with that they felt happy for me, and that it sounded very healthy! After that we talked about it for a bit and I said that I felt weird bringing it up like this because I had been told my entire life that weight gain was supposedly a bad thing and you should always feel the need to lose it, but that I felt like the opposite. They were entirely nonjudgmental and even curious about it. And after we were done talking, they went to make dessert, saying, "Well then, let's get us something to work on our curves". It was a bit jokingly but also not entirely. They also gave me part of their dinner last night and bought me my favorite chocolate present the other day. I've also gotten into baking over the past few months, and they've been telling me I should do more of that.

I'm so excited! I want to take this journey of gaining slow and steady, I'm enjoying every single moment of it and I'm in no need to rush the weight gain. I love food, not just as a means to gain but also just all the flavors and textures. The one thing I'm not looking forward to is eventually dealing with my family as my weight gain would get more noticable.

Other than that, I'm gonna enjoy this holiday season even more than before. I already made up my mind last year that I had to gain weight because I was gonna regret it if I didn't. I'm feeling so much more like myself now, and like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

HappyBigBelly:
Speaking as an FA and big-time encourager of people gaining weight if they want to, this is awesome news 👍 You’ll have to update us on your progress!

Silverx:
Will do! I've started to track my process so might posts some updates soon

So last week I was saying that I've noticed since eating better, walking and losing a bit of weight that I had a layer of softer subcutaneous fat I didn't know I had. I loved it.

Well, fast forward a few days and I'm completely off the rails. I am back into gaining mode. Eating crap. Lots of crap. I have eaten more than 4000 calories each of the last two days and well on my way to a third in a row.

It's exhilarating. Yet less than a week ago it was the furthest thing on my mind.

I get the impression that I'm going to surpass my highest weight ever and it isn't going to be too long before that happens. EEK!

LoLbreadplease:
This made me smile, NoMo. Because it just always seems to happen like that. The urge strikes when you don't expect it. It always comes back...

Lesson for folks: just ride the wave and eat how you feel!

I don’t believe in the fat gene considering I weigh more than my immediate family combined, I have an uncle who’s heavier but he’s not blood related and I have a good 100 pounds on him.

I think food habits are probably past down from parent to child but I have a hard time believing In genetic basis for being fat

Paradisefeeder:
The base level of what is considered fat keeps growing and growing

RoundRosy:
So satisfying to see my daughters not too absorbed with their weight anymore., S. now approaching 250lbs I’d guess at 31. . And I can see even R has put on quite a few pounds too over the last year or so at age 28. Think she’ll be close to 200 before much longer. Guess the “ fat gene” has hit them both as they’ve gotten older and more into food . Happily they both have guys that I think enjoy their size .

Truffleshuffle86:
I’m a dude and since I’ve put on a lot of weight, I’ve had to become more self-conscious of my chest as strange as that may sound but yeah, I definitely go up two extra shirt sizes just to hide it

FatVixen:
No thats understand able. Its surpising how much it shows in shirts. My husband has been working out alot more and he is a smaller guy his peck show alot more in shirts. He gets all self conscious about it but I love it. It doesn't help that clothing sizes are never the same. I buy most stuff online now cause my style is fantasy. Plus my local walmart sizes are so small in womens. Sizing is also extremely crazy. I wear a womens 3x and its bit lose for comfort. My store it rare to find 3x to 5x.Yet undergarments I wear a XL to 3x.

RoundRosy:
Yes…. Have used a scooter since this summer out of my “area”’with my hubby to help at a super Walmart. Relaxed after a couple times doing so…. easier to go through the store…..Definitely a turn on to see people kind of look and smile at my size….. now around 375 or so…and then I make sure I’m wearing kind of outgrown clothes to show off my curves…. Getting excited to think about going out tomorrow! 😺

I'm wondering if anyone might have an experience similar to mine and be able to offer some advice.

I'm a gainer who has truly wanted to be fat since childhood and has never really viewed fatness as a negative thing when it comes to other people. However, I've grappled with a lot of internalized fatphobia and shame about sexual desires, so I have mostly just been a bit chubby throughout my years of on and off gaining. I got over my internalized fatphobia by the time I deliberately crossed into "obesity" and lived there for some time, but then I involuntarily lost a lot of weight because I hadn't been gaining in a healthy way.

I slowly regained some of the weight, then several months ago I came to terms with my sexual guilt and accepted that I did want to actually try to gain again, just being a lot more careful with my diet.

I've been having a lot of success with this for the past few weeks, and I estimate that I've gained over ten pounds without putting a significant amount of strain on my digestion like I did before. A lot of this is easier for me now because I'm using an app to keep track of my macros every day. I PROMISE this isn't an ad, this post is not about that app lol.

So if my guilt isn't about Being Fat, and it's not about the whole Kink of it all, then what am I feeling guilty about, you might ask? The mere act of eating food, more than I physically require. I don't hold other people to the same standards as myself in this, but when it comes to me, seeing the amount of excess food I'm deliberately consuming (while this is all very hot lol) makes me feel guilty when I think about the people who don't have access to food. The fact that every dollar I spend on some extra food for me, especially extra fresh and healthy food, could be spent to help feed someone in need instead... And I don't know how to cope with that.

I spoke with my therapist about it, (leaving out the parts about deliberately gaining because I don't particularly want to be talked out of it) and she suggested that instead of focusing on all the money/time/food I'm Not giving to people in need, I should focus on what I can do and put energy into doing that, whether it's a donation or volunteering.

This is the direction I was leaning before talking to her as well, but I'm struggling to figure out what that should look like for me. I find myself wondering, How much do I need to do before it's enough? How much is too much? Will I ever feel like I'm truly doing the right thing or can I get over feeling like I'm "wasting resources" on myself?

I've cancelled my frivolous monthly subscriptions as a start, looking to cancel the yearly ones next. But how do I maintain a healthy amount of my hedonistic, "live in the moment" mindset that gets me through the hard times without becoming uncompassionate for people who don't ever have the option to live that way?

If you read everything here, I'm grateful. If you have thoughts on this or related experiences you'd like to share, I'd appreciate that too!

Munchies:
I am with everyone else. In our country, we have so much food, no one should go hungry. But thanks to shit the government is doing, we have food rotting in the field, and food assistance being cut off.

If you want to help with the SNAP crisis, you can reach out to local organizations like food pantries, and see what they need. A lot of them are running low on food, so shelf stable items are a must. You can also share resources like 211 or findhelp.org.

Get in touch with community gardens if you have any and see what you can do to help. Volunteer your time with soup kitchens or delivering meals to the elderly and shut in.

You have a lot of options. Pick one or two things and do that. Remember, we have the resources to make sure everyone is fed, so you overeating isn't the problem. The problem is corruption.
