Lifestyle tips

Being fatter isn't something you can hide. That being said, if you don't want too much embarrassment, eat a bit less when family is around, and eat more when they aren't. Tight clothes likewise should be avoided with family. Get a size or two up if you can.

Fuck them, enjoy yourself and put them in the situation that you love being you, in time they will leave you alone.

I put on 100 or so pounds in the last 2 years and I cannot honestly say I’ve gotten much flack for it, and the few times It was Brought up it wasn’t done in a nasty way at all; I think people overthink because we sexualize our bodies it becomes a focus of us, where as people outside this fetish aren’t focused on it at all, of course not everyone will have positive experiences and it sucks but I don’t think the overwhelming majority of people are out to hurt the feelings of fat people

My wife had to go through a lot of this with her mom.

I was the first guy she ever brought home. I think she had given up on her daughter ever finding stable love.
She's a good caring person, but also EXTREMELY trad and old-fashioned.
So she told me, RIGHT IN FRONT of her daughter, "You're the man, you have to put her on a diet and make her slim down!"

Good thing she was confident in her body and had my support.
We talked about it and she understood her mom was just concerned about her. "Normal girls" aren't "supposed" to literally quadruple in size and become so massive they take up two seats on the train and need help standing back up. So mom assumed she was helping her "little" girl out.

But mom realized her girl was happier, healthier, and lovelier than ever in her life as she kept gaining weight. So she gave in and accepted the fact that she was the proud parent of a super obese lady, and give her love.

Yeah
Me too, family members are sometimes so harsh on weight issues

My mother would fat shame me for being fat. She must remember that her two sisters in law were also fat. Maybe that’s the reason I’m fat now.
