I haven't lost to regain on purpose. But I did recently have life get in the way of gaining for a couple months. I lost about 10lbs in that time. Having started gaining again I've regained that 10lbs in a little over 2 weeks. So it was pretty fast! I don't think I'd do it on purpose. But for the times when life gets a little hectic or money is a little tight to keep up with gaining. It's nice to know I can regain anything lost and get back on track in short order.

I started off pretty thin. About 140ish. I wouldn't say athletic though. I'm now 213 as of this morning. I was a little higher but had a couple months of life being too hectic for gaining. I've gain about 70lbs in the last 10 months or so. It was difficult to gain at first. I barely ate when I was skinny. So it took a bit to get used to eating more. I used to feel pretty crappy after eating so much. But now I can just keep eating. Heavy cream helped a lot too.
I definitely like being bigger. I don't feel like I have the body of a 12 year old anymore. I can't wait to keep going. About 300 is my goal.

Reading this thread got me thinking a bit. I remember a wave of pro-anorexia content creators and the such going around a few years back. I'm sure there are still some out there. The mainstream is all for weight loss. As it's seen as someone bettering themselves. But then there is pro-anorexia which is for obvious reasons seen as a horrible thing. Not only for the person influenced but then people influencing.
Can there be a sort of connection where weight gain might be more accepted by the mainstream if the "lighter side" (no pun intended) of weight gain is promoted more. The mutual relationships to alleviate the view of predatory men going after women. FFAs that would help with the previous and give a voice to the women FAs. Also that in the vast majority of cases most people aren't gaining, whether on their own or with a feeder, to the point of immobility and severe health problems. Of course there are those that do and there are health problems that arise for many. I think feedism is all to often seen as the extreme, like the pro-anorexia stuff. Where most don't go that far nor want too.
Now, having said all that I know there are people that do want those extremes. I'm not one to say nor think people should be told how they can live their own lives. Or do what they want with their own bodies. But, when I see so many who find this community and it improves their life. Makes them feel they aren't alone and the only ones who like this stuff. That there are many positives to feedism that get glossed over for the taboo. At least by the mainstream. It's much more of a story to show the extremes. The pro-anorexia might be the same, I dont know. Basically seems we've gotten bad PR. But that as more people come to the community and things progress it won't be seen as extreme. Because for the most part it isn't. Just some thoughts.

Also in my experience it seems straight ffaโs are more into already fat guys as opposed to ones who are skinny or want to become fat, i could stand corrected on this but it seems to be the general consensus
Munchies:
There are a good chunk of FFAs who prefer a "blank slate" so to speak. A thin man that they can fatten as much as they'd like. And then there are FFAs like me that don't care about the start weight.
MottiF:
So where are you all? I am a blank slate ready to be fattened up ๐คฉ
Munchies:
It's hard being an FFA. A lot of guys refuse to believe women cam be anything but feedees and get really gross. The guys that do can get ... weird. And sometimes threatening or dangerous.
I have witnessed first hand FFAs getting run off the site. Hell, if it weren't for my specific blend of crazy, I'd have been run off the site at least half a dozen times.
Pluviophile:
I'll cheers to that. People will spam my inbox with the same exact copy and paste message and if I wasn't interested X months ago, I won't be interested now.
Add in the harassment and entitlement, and yeah, there have been many times where I've wanted to never come back on here.
Munchies:
Oh God yes. No one really DMs me these days, but when they did? Oy vey. I've gotten creepy marriage proposals, people begging me to take them on as my piggy, people telling me that I need to given and become their piggy, clearly copy and pasted messages trying to get to go offsite, threats, and on and on it goes.
I once had a convo that started out innocent enough. The guy thanked me for offering to help him find a story. Then he turned weird and creepy. I tried to make him go away, but it turns out he was a sex-staved man with a humiliation fetish. Told me about 2 minutes after my scathing reply that I made him cum so hard and left.
A few months later, I'm in chat and he DMs me. He completely forgot that we ever spoke. He apologized, at least, when I brought up what he did to me, and we never spoke again. I'm honestly shocked he did that much because most guys just ghost you or try to gaslight you after you call them out for being a creep.
Hearing about all this kind of stuff reinforces how happy I am to not be in the dating scene and single. I don't envy you guys and gals. I have received my fair share of weird and creepy messages. Even though I state clearly, here and elsewhere, that I'm happily married and just looking for friends and be apart of the community. But that either doesn't stop some people or maybe they don't read profiles and I have to reiterate my taken status.
I guess part of me can understand the frustration of having this kink/fetish and trying to find a partner who shares it. But the ways to approach people and act are really no different than how one should be in general. Being a decent, respectful, courteous, etc. I just don't get why some people think some of those crazy approaches work. Do they ever work? Lol I doubt it! But again, I've been away from the single life for 25 years. So I may be old and behind the times with kids these days

I've been low normal to underweight most of my life because of a medical condition. When I met my wife she was skinny too. I came out to her almost a year into our relationship that I'd be fine if her weight changed. That I found it sexy. She slowly let herself go. I told her and we shared more and more aspects of weight fain, feedism, etc. She hovered around 185-210ish lbs for years and years. Until about 4 years ago. She started a new medication and ballooned to over 300lbs in the span of less than a year. Which is where she is now.
I was about 140ish lbs up until sometime at the end of last year. It was finally a time and chance in life to give gaining a real good attempt. I had one other succesful but short lived gain time. So I started trying to gain. Told my wife about it and she was all aboard. I used heavy cream which has really helped. Just takes time to get used to on many levels. I'm now a little over 200. Hoping to be the same size or surpass my wife a little some day soon.

Munchies:
So true, bestie. What works for one doesn't work for all. And what works for you now may not work for you later.
It's best to just ease into things and adjust until things feel right for you.
When my partner and feedee was gaining, we'd do it in spurts. We both love extreme gaining, so we'd go super intense for a few days or weeks and then take a break.
Finish8000:
So your partner would do something
like a week of big gains and then recuperate to allow their body to adjust?
Munchies:
Pretty much.
I know I'm somebody who has said that gaining is a marathon not a sprint

. Having said that, I too take breaks from time to time. Give things a chance to adjust and get used to it all. Often when gaining one will hit plateaus. Where it seems no matter what you can't gain. Then all of a sudden you'll shoot right past where you were stuck. I've found that taking breaks at those times can help. It doesn't have to be a long break. A week, maybe less, maybe more.
I think gaining is a lot like losing weight. It's more succesful and sustainable when it's a lifestyle change that you slowly change your habits. So that you can get used to them and keep it up. Like Munchies mentioned gaining fast for long periods often isn't sustainable. It's expensive in so many ways. Also, each person's body is different. So what works for one person won't be as good for another. Another thing that I find helps for learning how your body works is to keep a food journal. There are apps our there that can do it. Keep track of what your eating, how much, how many calories. You can then see how much it takes to gain, and how much you gain. What foods work better and what doesn't. You can then tweak your diet until you get what works best for you. Just some thoughts. Ive only been gaining for not even about a year. Going from about 140ish to 210ish atm. So I by no means am an expert nor really know what I'm doing lol. Just sharing a few things I've noticed and read. Along with what has worked for me.

best of luck!

Heavy cream alone can be a huge weight gain help. Making weight gain shakes can also help. Heavy cream, weight gainer powder (found in health food stores for body builders), and ice cream all blended together. Mixing heavy cream with sugary foods. Just be sure to pace yourself and give your gi track time to adjust to such high fat food and drink. Smaller amounts many times a day is better than all at once. Good luck!

I've done something similar. Going from quite thin to now being in the obese category. It's fun, exciting, a turn on, etc. Which I'm sure you know OP. As others mentioned, you're on a feedism/weight gain website. So, you must know the answers to the questions you asked

. If you are liking it, then keep going and enjoy the journey...

If we canโt know anything about the world, as you say, given your first principles of absurdism how can we say we know nothing of it? Itโs an inherent contradiction. Do you just embrace that contradiction and throw out human reasoning out the door?
Iโm glad you find comfort in this lifestyle, however! ๐
Technically we can truly only know one thing 100%, "I think, therefore I am". I know I exist, but that's about it. Everything else could be an illusion, a simulation, a hallucination, etc. I can never know 100% about anything except I know that I exist. Granted, we don't live our everyday lives like that. We take many things as a given. The sun's gonna rise in the morning and set at night. Just my 2 cents

How do ye stay motivated.Ive been gaining on and off and everytime I gain I loose motivation and then loose the weight..ive recently gained about 15 pounds and have gone up a pants size.Ive been off work for about 4 weeks and I loved gaining. Now that im going back tomorrow ive lost interest in gaining and im beginning to feel like I should loose weight again but if I can get over this feeling for a few weeks I feel I'll finally get past my weight wall and be well on my way to a fat life..how do ye do it?
Munchies:
Motivation is person specific. What works for one doesn't work for all.
That said, I've noticed the biggest reasons people struggle with commitment are treating weight gain like a job/chore or having conflicting thoughts about gaining weight.
Primal23:
To add to what you said. I also think people don't realize the time and money it takes to gain. Most people here, myself included, can't wait to gain. We'd all love to have it happen fast. But, that's just not how it works. It costs quite a bit to get thousands of extra calories a day. Then having to keep at it long enough to gain a noticeable amount. Which causes people to get discouraged and lose motivation. Just like losing weight works best as a long term lifestyle change. Gaining is the same. Slowly ramping up the changes. Eating more and more as you adjust to it.
Even with things like heavy cream, which is probably the most calories you can buy for your money besides straight oil, take time to gain a noticable amount. Don't get me wrong these things can and do work. I've had good success with heavy cream. But, gaining is a marathon, not a sprint.
With all that said. Gaining is definitely possible, no matter who you are. There wouldn't be an obesity epidemic if it were difficult. It's a matter of getting ones expectations in line with reality. Hope that helps a bit. Best of luck!
Munchies:
I've noticed a sizable chunk of people really struggle when they try to turn their fantasies into reality. Some of it is due to a lack of research/preparation, while the rest is due to impatience. This disconnect can make getting fatter demoralizing.
You're spot on. I've tried to help and answer many posts about people not gaining when using heavy cream. Asking why they aren't gaining fast or enough. I liken gaining to losing weight. It really takes the same time, patience, and discipline to get results. Especially if one wants to gain enough to fulfill anything near what people's fantasies are.
I think it's viewed that gaining weight or being fat is easy. Thinking you just eat more! But I don't think people realize how much more and for how long to gain the type of weight most dream about. Hell, I only have a goal of 300. I started at about 145ish a bit less than a year ago and I'm just over 200 now. That's with not being able to afford or keep up with the level of eating required to gain at times. Not even counting the differences in genetics that cause some to gain easier.
As you pointed out, when the results don't start showing people get discouraged and give up. If at the start of gaining people knew what it was gonna take maybe they wouldn't be as discouraged as easily knowing it's gonna be a long process. I know it helped me to try to make it a habit or lifestyle change. So even when the scale shows no change to keep getting those excess calories in each day. Even if it's just a little. Every bit of progress is still progress. Ok, I think I've rambled enough for tonight lol. Take care!
