What was your "i can't believe i ate the whole thing" moment?

BigBallBellyGirl:
Mine was probably this past Friday-after-Thanksgiving, which my partner and I designated as an all-day stuffing. I hit around 58 thousand calories, leaving a giant garbage bag of catering pans and paper plates. It was by far the most I've ever consumed (and probably ever will), and I barely ate for two days after. Unforgettable experience (and total experiment in gluttony) I'm thankful I had though.

Mcjigglelover:
i love having those mental almost inhuman feasts. Pushing your boundaries further than you ever thought was possible. Im really enjoying following your gain as you are as extreme as me with your stuffings. My record in a day was 78,800 calories and hoping to one day beat it.


That's really impressive! Do you remember what all you ate? And how much weight did you gain?

After my Thanksgiving stuffing, my belly was so bloated, I couldn't walk well for two days, sit up straight, or stand any clothing constraining it. I was essentially beached by my own gluttony. It's the only time I ever seriously questioned if Id gone too far, and my stomach would pop. It also ultimately kicked my appetite into overdrive, and I blew up during the holidays. Wish I could do it again!

You know you're fat when...

I have ten more, LOL. (These aren't hard when you're 573 pounds!)

11. You're wearing a pair of shorts, but no one can see them when you sit because your pot belly and back rolls obscure them.
12. You have to stay in the water at the pool, not just to beat the heat, but because you're weary of sitting on pool furniture.
13. A pool raft pops (in the water) under your weight.
14. Your belly button flattens out from all the visceral fat pushing against it.
15. You need mobility tools (grabber, clothing hook) to get dressed.
16. Your bath sponge is on an 18 inch extender.
17. You have to remove the shower door and install a curved curtain rod because you got too fat to turn around in a confined space
18. You have no choice but to use the accessible stall in a public restroom because of your size
19. You've cracked a ceramic floor tile stepping heavily on it.
20. Olive Garden usually brings couples three bread sticks, but the server automatically brings six to your table for two (knowing you'll still ask for more later, because after all, they did say "endless"smiley.

BONUS: You ate SO much during a 2-day Thanksgiving feast, your fiance, a VERY hard core feeder, implores you to take a break because "I'm worried something might happen to your internal organs".

Girls heavier than guys

BigBallBellyGirl:
I've always been fatter than all the boys/men my age, as well as the fattest kid of any gender in school. In college, I was around 350 and dated a guy about my weight (but a foot taller). My fiance is tall and fit, and he loves that I outweigh him by nearly 400 pounds.

LittleEater:
how do you feel about it? that's quite a huge difference!


I'm really happy in my body, and I'm really happy with my fiance. Contrast is not really a big turn-on for me, but it's not a turn off either. I find him really hot, and he loves my size, so it just... works. And in daily life, we actually don't think about it that much, especially now that I'm not in gaining mode.

You know you're fat when...

1)Any car you get in creaks when you heave you weight into it
2) You're too heavy for a grocery store scooters
3) You have to trade cars AND get pedal extenders because you outgrew your sedan
4) You can't reach your own belly button
5) There are no brick and mortar stores that carry your size, and you have to order everything online
6) You need reinforced furniture
7) A whole cookie sheet is stable sitting on your belly
8) You have to sit at a bit of an angle at most tables because you otherwise wouldn't be able to reach your food with such a big gut
9) You go through body lotion like water because there's so much surface area to cover
10) You need the thermostat set on 66 because your obese body gets hot so easily

What was your "i can't believe i ate the whole thing" moment?

A 75 chicken finger Tailgate box from Raisin Cane's, 26 packets of Tailgate Sauce, 12 pieces of Texas Toast, and a gallon of sweet tea. All that salt made my face and hands super bloated though.

Training yourself to permanently overeat/binge eat

BigBallBellyGirl:
I know people like to dump on McDonald's, but there really is something about their burgers and sauce....

Morbidly A Beast:
Right? Ever since I made the swap I’ve chosen to embrace McDonald’s It’s soooo good and consistently good you def get what you pay for unlike some other places


Once upon a time, Wendy's was seen as having "higher quality" burgers, I think, but that's completely not the case anymore. I've also seen some Wendy's that really feel dated and do not look sanitary. You're right...McDonald's is pretty consistent across the board.

What is the sexiest outfit to outgrow?

BigBallBellyGirl:
I'm not sure if this is the sexiest, but I did outgrow the custom wedding dress I'm supposed to wear in a few months. I could barely squeeze my arms into it when I pulled it over my head, and it was slicing into my underarms, when I tried it on again 2 weeks ago. My friend and I didn't try too hard to pull it down, because it became quickly apparent it wasn't going to make it over my bust and belly. I finally had to admit to myself I needed to find an alternative before I'm in a real bind.

After exploring a few options that didn't pan out, I found someone (a seamstress/designer) about an hour from me who agreed to help out. I explained my situation and also was clear that I'm a very heavy woman. I also shared pictures of several styles I like. She was extremely courteous and didn't seem phased a bit, so we set an appointment for me to come to her home.

I'm not sure why I was surprised she is very young (early 20s) but she was courteous and kind. Her little studio was lovely too, and I got to see some of her model styles as well as some things she is working on. We looked through the styles I shared with her, she had fabric samples ready, and she took my measurements. I brought my own tape, because I had a feeling hers might not be large enough even if she is a professional, but she actually had one. With the weight I gained before I had to stop, my bust is 68.5", and the biggest part of my belly is 112" standing. As she measured my girth, she first asked me to hold the measuring tape in front of me while she walked around me, but she quickly realized I can't reach the front of my belly, so she adeptly moved the end around to my side. I appreciated how discreet she was, but obviously, I wonder what she was thinking! I did share with her a challenge I have Is that my sitting girth is much bigger than standing, depending on how my belly rests, so she took that measurement too.

I think she works pretty quickly, because she said she'd have a design for me in 2 weeks, and hopefully a first cut in 6 to 8 weeks. At that point, I'll come back for a fitting.

My Maid of Honor was with me, and we had an interesting discussion on the way home about how I seldom ever get a rude body comment from gen z. I'm a young millennial myself, and my parents are boomers. I think about how freely my mother, her friends and my aunts would comment on my big tummy even when I was a young child. I don't know if younger people are less fatphobic, but I do think we are moving away, in large part, from openly fat shaming. Just a side observation!

On a humorous note, the designer initially offered me a seat on a beautiful, ornate chaise lounge. It looked like an antique possibly, and I wasn't positive it could take my weight. I said, "That's a beautiful piece of furniture. At my size though, I'm careful where I sit." She offered me a very sturdy wooden chair instead. 🤣

Munchies:
I hope your wedding dress is everything you hoped for and more.


Thank you!! I'm very thankful to the dress designer for working with me on such short notice too. It was just not going to be possible to alter the original one!

Has your belly button become deeper and wider as you gain weight?

The opposite in my case! When I hit 450, my belly button was barely a slit, And now it's almost non-existent with a raised ring around a tiny hole. I do have a lot of visceral fat though and a very solid gut, which may have something to do with it.
