Gaining

Conformity to fat stereotypes?

Does anyone else get turned on by the idea of intentionally conforming to fat stereotypes? Such as:
- Laziness
- Lack of discipline, willpower, or self-control
- Greediness, overindulgence

Having personally gone from thin to fat (and gaining), I find the idea of becoming increasingly fat and lazy while my eating spirals out of control incredibly arousing. Some people probably have the opposite reaction, like those who have always been heavy.
Curious to know what others think?

One of the San Francisco ff meet-ups was pretty jovial.

"Wow," I said. "We sure are perpetuating the myth that fat people are jolly!"

As everyone laughed, one woman said: "We are!"

Love this, Doc!

As far as the notions of becoming fat and lazy and greedy, there is much appeal in this. Part of it is the fantasy of "not being able to stop" oneself and giving up control to your fat human nature.

Yea.....I experienced the same things while intentionally gaining and having good success.

The bigger I got the more I wanted to get bigger and also the more I couldn't stop eating a ton.

While I always seemed to be stuffed and bloated I found it increasingly harder to move around and found myself groaning a bit out loud with movements getting up off of couch or even from a chair. I became much lazier and really never considered activity as much but mostly would think about when and what I was going to eat next. I continued this cycle of unbelievably huge food consumption and it made me even more aroused the bigger I got.

So, it definitely changed the way I acted and it sort of spiraled out of control for a while. Likewise I never felt guilty about eating fast food, donuts, multiple cokes per day....actually it became almost a need to eat and drink those things.

Also, when I tried to eat smaller portions and healthier at first it was almost impossible and I began to cheat on several occasions and gave in and ate even more than I would have otherwise almost to the point where I couldn't even move. There were several weeks where I thought I lost all control and I might just keep gaining out of control because I couldn't even come close to controlling my appetite.

So, all of a sudden those stereotypes seemed very real. I felt content just sitting and eating with my huge gut sitting on my lap out in front of me feeling like it was getting bigger by the minute. I would eat huge amounts and then feel sleepy and relax and after relaxing felt like starting back in again eating.

^^This is me as well. I have to eat until I'm at least slowing down before I stop (as long as there's enough food available anyway)

Haha, true. Whenever there's plenty of food around I'm going all out.

I do too get turned on thinking about gaining, getting lazy, greedily eating whatever and how much I want to eat. I think that just adds to the fantasy. I sometimes go out deliberately sticking out my belly and waddling a bit.

georgejorge:
I use to think I would stay physically active while gaining. I still prefer a certain level of fitness with being big. But since I've started gaining, I've gotten so lazy. I can't even seem to do 30 minutes of exercise. And I've only gained like 15 lbs.


It will only get tougher to drag yourself to workout with more weight that you will gain. Eventually when you think of working out your stomach will start to growl and you will choose to eat yourself into a food coma and tell yourself you will workout the next day. After many more Lbs. Gained you will kind of see no point to workout and be totally consumed with eating and getting bigger!

Not sure but it kind of happened for me that way for several months.
