I see a lot of talk about how much we want to weigh, but not about other measurements. So, how big do you want your belly to be if you run a tape measure around the widest part? I want mine to be around 80 inches.

I prefer a book but will consider articles.

I need a practical book for fat couples, in particular one that addresses how fat couples can go from "How can we have sex when we're so fat?" to "We're fat and have very enjoyable sex and even kids.". Could I get some recommendations?
Why am I asking? I've always had a hard time being open about anything with anyone. That's not good in a marriage. So today I said that I was drawn to her confidence about being fat. That me being fat, her attitude made me feel at ease. That I wouldn't mind getting fatter. She said she's okay with me being fat and doesn't want me to lose weight if I don't want to, but she doesn't think she can accept me putting on more weight. She said that it would be more difficult or impossible for us to have sex and that's a big problem because we both want kids.
I remember hearing about books specifically for fat couples on dealing with the challenges of having sex while fat, but I have no idea how to search for them.

Last summer I got Covid and lost quite a bit of weight -- dropped from 345 down to 320. Since then I've managed to get back to 335. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you you gain back your lost weight?

Bile is an emulsifier. It should aid digesting fats. Other emulsifiers like lethicin are used in gain shakes (ie Maus Mix) that include vegetable oils.

Yep. I've always been a socially awkward nerd, even before I got fat.

How about we do a vote for a keyword starting 2023?
Ill toss in one myself just for the fun of it:
Happy avacados?
Or something related to avacado for the “healthy” fat

Ooh I actually like this. Very subtle. Let's go with that for sure.
What does everyone else think?
I'd say "no" on account of that mukbang guy on youtube with "avocado" in his name. When the press does a story on him, it's with derision and ridicule. I believe using "avocado" would cause any press to amplify that negativity - hurting both him and us.

All the time, though as I've gotten fatter, there are fewer people who are fatter than me. One instance in particular, I noticed someone around 600 pounds waiting in the lobby of a cinema. That was major fat envy.

I'm almost to the point of needing to get underwear from those sites. My size is the biggest I can find at any brick-and-mortar shop anywhere near me. But I still have quite a bit to go for shirt and pants sizes.

Agreed, I absolutely hate it. No question. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the navigation at the top. The fact it's now on the left and so incredibly IN YOUR FACE is specifically annoying. I don't need to stare at my profile and certainly don't need all these obtrusive drop downs. It's not even like they're all over there either, there are still navigation options at the top. Worse yet, I can' minimize the hide the menu and now I have to stare at my f-ing face on EVERY page?
100% absolutely terrible update. Makes me not want to come back here. There wasn't anything wrong with the old navigation bar at the top. And like fatiluvr says, the forums are almost impossible to use now. It's so large and gaudy. Why are the previews so big? Why are there any previews on the main forum page at all? I'm really struggling to understand these changes are supposed to make my experience here better.
Thanks for the effort, but I hate it.
