I do think there's a difference but I'm not sure if it's clearly defined.
I believe there are people who simply prefer a fat sexual partner or are more attracted to fatter rather than thinner people, in the same way for instance as I think my default preference is for the taller skinnier man, or in the same way someone might prefer tall/short/dimples/blue eyes/blondes/chiselled jaw/baby-faced, etc.
I feel that the way that feederism topics such as weight gain, stuffing, weighing & measuring, struggling to work out, before and after pics, etc, make me hot under the collar has a completely different quality. Both in its ability to turn me on and in the way it can be somewhat divorced from any sexual partner. I mean, it's ridiculous. Cracking out a tape measure on my own can turn me on and it's definitely not because I fancy the tape measure or myself. It's because it's a fetish/paraphilia.
However I think there is an overlap. To borrow a phrase from another thread, what would make my kokoro go doki doki would be to engage in feederism-y stuff with someone I found attractive. So I guess if you prefer fat people and you're interested in feederism, the two might go hand-in-hand and be somewhat indistinguishable?
