I think people share too much about themselves and their fetishes online.
Doing videos because they desire attention or validation.
I never felt I needed validation from strangers to do anything in my life.
I think perhaps the BP movement has a subset of people that push too hard to make us all look like weirdos.
Social media is not always a good place to aire your laundry.
I do support the BP movement and learning how to love yourself no matter how large or small you are.

I'm sure some "feeder" out there would think my BF and I might be feeder and feedee.
At buffets we bring each other stuff all the time.
He is not a big desert person but I bring him cake and pie all the time.
He eats it and it makes me happy knowing I might actually contribute to him gaining a little.
We are both pretty fat so people do look at us.
We don't care what they may think so we enjoy our meals.

I mean, ultimately speaking, it's none of our business either way. What you choose to share or withhold is up to you.
Either way, you are right. This is a part of your past, and it does not define who you are now.[/quote]
I think it has helped me to "unload" some of that here.
I'm a very private person and letting that out has been a good thing.

My drug addictions were cocaine and heroin.
I was playing in a band and touring a lot so I fell into using both.
Rehab was not fun and getting "clean" was extremely hard.
Addictive personalities are a thing but that was never mentioned to me by rehab doctors.
I find compulsive overeating not really the same thing but an urge that is very strong.
You don't get a high so to speak.
I was eating just because it looked or sounded good and no matter how much I ate the urge to eat was still there.
Its really hard to explain it all.
Munchies:
Kudos on you for staying clean for so long. I know it's not easy getting clean, so it's awesome that you're keeping up the hard work.
That said, I hope you can get to a point where you only overeat because you want to.
Thanks I appreciate the kind words.
I rarely talk about that stuff on this site.
I try to keep that stuff in the past.
It was a fun part of my life and a dark part as well.

When gainers say they are addicted to food is sounds more metaphoric.
Compulsive overeating is more like an addiction because you can't stop at times and don't care if you gain or not.
The drive to eat is so strong sometimes its hard to control.
I am a recovering drug addict so I know a bit about addiction.

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![/quote]
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.

Several years ago during a difficult overeating/ binging spell my Dr said I had gained almost 30 lbs between visits which are usually every 6 months.
Keep in mind I am not an active "gainer".

My power went out last night so I fired up the wood burner in the basement to keep warm.
Power came on a little while ago which is good I was about to drag out the generator.
Its old and noisy so I hate to use it.

Only got 5 or 6 inches of snow today.
I stocked up of goodies early in the week.
I always keep lots of food in the house.
