Lately I've been super stressed out, and when that happens, I tend to find myself playing with my fat more often, squeezing and massaging and jiggling my belly, grabbing and squishing my inner thighs, kneading my love handles, etc.

Similarly, I've noticed that when my partner/friends/family are distressed, my instinct usually is to hug them and squish as much of my fat onto them as possible...

I don't think this is super uncommon, but would love to hear others experiences with using fat as a comfort, whether its your body/fat or someone else's fat providing the comfort!

Absolutely. Now that I've gained enough to actually have proper fat to hold on to, I find myself squeezing and massaging my fat throughout the day. It's comforting and self-assuring. For me, it's mini-celebration after mini-celebration that I've done and am doing this to myself.

Yes, when I'm stressed, I sometimes imagine a big, burly man holding me nice and warm against his big soft belly in a tight hug🐻. Big bellies can make perfect stress balls.

Ahhh thats actually pretty affirming hearing that non-fat folks find being pressed against fat comforting, tbh that was the part I was more unsure of haha

Yes of course, it's awesome.

I think there are far more people than you'd think who like big bellies🧸

big bellies🐻 are life 🥴
