Friends/ family/ coworkers commenting on weight gain

MarkSeanDavis17:
I'm petty AF with family members who tease me more than once. One off comment? Sure whatever, ha ha. Come at me again and I'm asking you about whether this 3rd marriage of yours is really "the one." Hell, I'll go after someone for being a shitty parent. That shuts them up real fast.


Oh to be a fly on the wall in that moment.

Friends/ family/ coworkers commenting on weight gain

ObeseCleopatra:
It's a daily thing lmao


Never underestimate the power of setting and establishing boundaries. It's what I had to do with my mother who used to do the same thing to me. It can be scary at first. But eventually the get with the program.

I get being concerned about health and quality of life, but there are ways you can go about doing that while also being respectful.

Transformation fetish

Enas:
After a quick look at muscle transformation artwork... Im still a bit troubled. But at this point, im more troubled with the articulation, which can be a phylosophical thing more than anything. I have one example i can give. I certainly have a sexual interest towards muscular women. The articulation problem comes here. Is it fair to label that interest per se as a fetish? There are some reasons i would avoid doing that. The interest in muscular women is there because i have this fantasy of being in the hands of someone so powerful i could not resist, etc. Which means its not necesary that i like muscular women on their own, a muscular figure on a partner, for me, serves into making the sub/dom dynamic more real, or more extreme, or whatever, right? So, shouldn't maybe the sub/dom thing be labeled as a fetish by itself, instead?

Then of course there are all sorts of arrangements. For example one could say that both are fetishes. Someone could even say that they both are just one fetish and the articulation is bad because in it, they are seperated when they shouldn't.

All that kind of makes it hard for me at least to answer a question of "is X thing a fetish"? (Which is similar to "Is X fetish a thing?"smiley

Uhm, maybe its a bit easier to just think of all this as a big box with everything about sexuality, and the criteria for if a thing can be included in it would be "Something that alters how you'd wanna have sex"?

Edit: I hate it when some characters turn into an emoji... FF please change that... 🫠


Lord have mercy.

Enas, it's not that deep. If you like muscular women, but you don't feel like it's a fetish or a kink, then it's not.

Kitsune2:
On Deviantart there are a lot of muscle transformation artwork. So there's definitely a sexual interest of it.

Arame:
Really? I did not know that. Ive known about muscle worship. But did not know muscle transformation was a thing


It is HUGE. Whatever you see in the fat kink world, there is a counterpart in the muscle kink world - even immobility.

Skin remedies

Pudgymars:
I have skin issues related to both chafing & allergies. Aloe vera is my number one choice for when it's raw (especially once you've left it in the fridge for a couple hours, great for sunburns), but I don't like it or creams much for stopping rubbing- too moist. I prefer sticks (kind of like deodorant) usually marketed as "anti-friction" (some are made for runners, others for bigger people). I haven't had any reactions to all the brands I've tried so far, and it's stopped both tenderness and sores from developing, so I recommend them as an option!


Adding onto this, if you end up with sore areas, slap a bandaid on the area. I like cloth ones because they don't fall off so easily when you sweat.

Yeast

Makemegrow:
lol just curious was not planning on doing it I was stoned and thinking about things and they say that doing stuff like coke and mentos doesn’t work super great because after the mentos hits your tough the coating that causes that reaction is destroyed so I was curious if a similar thing happened where your body stops a reaction ya know sorry for the confusion 😅


You're supposed to swallow the mentos whole like pills.

Body hair/hairy bellies, hot or not?

MarieMuffinTop:
On guys it’s definitely hot, but we get hair too sometimes cuz hormones be hormones. Just groom yourself, being clean is way more attractive than whether or not someone has body hair imo


It's not even just hormones. Women just be hairy. It tends to be lighter than men's body hair on average, but it's super normal to have a happy trail.

Is that a thing? I got into bodybuilding for the last year and really loving watching my body put on weight and size (be it mostly muscle).


The muscle growth kink community is a thing. Muscle tf is deffo a common kink.

Is it possible to reverse pre diabetes just by improving my diet?

TacticalMilk:
I recently did some blood work in a lab to test for pre diabetes and unfortunately i just barely tested positive for pre diabetes.I already do a lot of strength training as well as make sure eat some balanced meals through the week but I still eat a good amount of fast food/junk food as well as protein powder with high amounts of sugar.

So my question is if its possible to maintain or even keep gaining weight as well as reverse my diabetes just by eating a lot of complex carbs,cutting put as much sugar as possible and making sure I just eat as much healthy foods as possible?

P.S Also is there a way to ask this to doctor without having him/her questioning me why I dont want to lose weight?


Eating a more balanced diet - especially one with lots of lean protein and fiber, paired with cardio and weight training, can be enough to reverse pre-diabetes over time.

You will need to make lifestyle changes. You may lose weight. But weight loss does not need to be your goal.
