I know most, if not all of us have been into this lifestyle from the very start of life. So my question is... what is your earliest memory of it?

Mine is not a specific memory, but rather something I was borderline obsessed with when I was a little girl.

I am an artist and I have always loved drawing. When I was little, I used to love drawing people. I remember distinctly I would always draw skinny people and then something would happen to them and they would become fat. Whether it be eating too much, a sneaky friend trying to make them "undesirable", etc. I would draw them in tight clothes, or not fitting into spaces, or people humiliating them, and at that age I didn't understand my infatuation with this topic, but when I first started having a sexual identity, it all started to make sense.

I still have those drawings... somewhere?

As a small child, I owned a plush polar bear that had a distinctively round, overstuffed belly. I called him "Roly Poly" and preferred him over other stuffed animals specifically because he seemed fatter and squishier.

That's my first memory of being an FA.

i remember having a book as a child of a bunch of words for ABCs, and the one for F was fat. it showed a cartoon bear too fat to fit in his cave because he ate too much and that must have flipped a switch in my brain!

Earliest memory in general was maybe a year old, and my grandma playing with a teddy bear I got at my first birthday. Still got that thing in my closet somewhere.

As for this kink, I want to say it was an episode of some cartoon, Earthworm Jim I think. If I remember correctly someone had a "fat ray" and hit a handful of different characters, namely Princess What's Her Name? (That Is literally her name)

Granted I think I was mostly watching Earthworm Jim because it was "that other cartoon with Homer in it"

Throughout my childhood fat people, the word fat, fat things in movies, bellies, all of it stood out extremely obviously. It made me uncomfortable or weirded out at first like it was sexual, but no one else seemed bothered by it. My earliest memory has to be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when Violet blows up into a blueberry.
Actually! I just remembered a potentially earlier one! Does anyone remember BrainPop? There was a weight gain episode they were covering and omg I moved heaven and earth to try to rediscover the video... I never did until more recently.

I remember watching so many cartoons as a kid that really started it all for me

For me it was that Simpsons episode with Homer going to hell and being forced to gorge on doughnuts for like half the episode as well as the one where he gets fat enough to be allowed to work from home haha

Cute 😄

I have lots of bits and pieces of scattered memories. But even as a child I was already a future worshiper of gaybears 🧸🐻 and big hairy men because I particularly liked to admire the big bellies of certain characters in children's comics, and above all I drew hairs with a black pen on the bellies of these characters, I drew happy trails under their navels and big Portuguese plumber hairs on their chests. Then I hid these books so that my parents wouldn't find them and see the drawings I made on them. I really hope they never saw my "drawings" 😅🫣

When I was home alone as I kid, I would shove a pillow into my shirt and eat as much food as I could possibly handle. And I would have dreams of being either in the Hansel and Gretel story or lived in a world where everything was candy
