Lifestyle tips

So I find that whenever I am not seriously paying attention to my gaining is when I lookup and suddenly my closet is less and less amenable to my body size.

I wanted to know if there were any small habits you all had that led to big changes on the scale!

one thing that helps is not just concentrate on big stuffings to gain. getting into the habit of regular snacks adds up very quick too.

I had to start cutting back on the fried food two years ago after I had a n arterial blockage addressed. But I’ve adjusted to enjoying all things baked and boiled and my belly has returned :-) My wife, as all on here know is a lovely and proud big girl, has done the same but we’ve found enough enjoyment to still maintain our lovely shapes :-)

I am a compulsive over eater so always eating snacks and milk shakes thru the day it tends to put weight on me.
I eat a ridiculous amount at meal time because I can't get really full.

Did you have to train you capacity or was not feeling full a normal thing for you?

I think for me it's having coca cola or some other soda pretty much everyday 😁

OK, bad choice in husband and compulsive over eating accepted but my guess is that you enjoy the overeating bit as well as being a fat person - love to know if I'm correct here!

So many feedists think that they need to eat like ... 2 gajillion calories a minute. But, in truth, little changes made over time are usually enough to start filling out.

Definitely true, I used to be tempted to step on the scale every single day to see if I made any progress but I would just annoy myself because my weight was just fluctuating up and down. But then I didn't check the scale basically at all between November and December and I had actually gained close to 12 lbs.

Ditzy:
You are correct in a sense I do love my body shape and size to me it feels right.
Compulsive overeating pushed me over the edge from being plus sized to being very fat.
I really didn't plan on being over 400 lbs but because I don't have a fat fetish I didn't watch the scale.
I could tell I was gaining a lot but really didn't care if I did at that point.
Binging and compulsive overeating will cause most people to gain quite a bit.[/quote]

I guess at 400+ pounds you do qualify for what is often called SSBBW. Many or most of these women acknowledge as being addicted to food. Over eating disorder is perhaps another way of saying the same thing. Anyway, you are clearly not alone in liking the way you look so not all bad!

Years ago I was dating someone who seemed to know about these things. She said that some people have 'additive' personalities - perhaps that is you having food and drug additions. That's not really me though - I simply enjoy overeating along with the prospect of gaining weight plus the pleasure of taste, naturally. The 'reward' comes later in the 'hit' I get when scales tell me I've gained some more weight. This is probably the same for most feedees / gainers. What is/was the drug addiction you mention?
