Fat acceptance & feederism

it's still funny to me when I'm compared to Gertrude Stein because she wrote Tender Buttons (one of the more incomprehensible books I've ever read.)


Hidden in a mass of gibberish, Tender Buttons does contain a controversial statement of interest to the feeder/feedee community:

Sugar is not a vegetable.

Fat acceptance & feederism

(It's been a week later, and my big response is still "SQUEE!!" smiley)


SQUEE!! indeed. I thank you for this. Thoughtful posts like that are what make this site so delightful -- there is nothing as sexy as an open (smart) mind.

If the feederism movement were to open a position for its own Gertrude Stein (philosopher, writer, all-around trouble maker), you'd have a good shot at the job.

Live long and prosper.

Circulation issues

My suggestion is that you consult a physician. It is possible to determine if you have clotting in your legs via ultrasound examination. Also, there are tests to determine if you have a genetic disposition toward clotting.

This is worth checking out because once a blood clot forms in your legs it can migrate elsewhere such as the longs (pulmonary embolism) which can be quite serious, even fatal. Symptoms of a PE include difficulty breathing or severe pain in the back; if this shows up you need to get to an emergency room right away.

Gluttony meets lust, part two: an interview with molly ren

One of the nice things about reading something written by or about Molly Ren is that it's always interesting and there's always something to take away. A delicious mixture of hedonism, intellectualism and of course, sex. If the feeder/feedee world needs our own modern version of Gertrude Stein, Molly Ren might be the best candidate available. smiley

Feeder/feedee lingo

My best guess:

"I'd like to fatten you up a little bit": another 50+ pounds
"I'd like to 'round you out'": another 75+ pounds
"I think you look better when you're chunky": get the feedee to 275 pounds
"You need to be FAT": get the feedee to 300 pounds
"I want you roly-poly": get the feedee to 350 pounds
"I'm going to make you BIG": get the feedee to 400 pounds
"You've got great POTENTIAL": feedee has the ability to reach 450+ pounds

Feeder/feedee lingo

Just curious about whether feeders and feedees have the same ideas about what the following phrases mean. For example, if a feeder says:

"I'd like to fatten you up a little bit"
"I'd like to 'round you out'"
"I think you look better when you're chunky"
"You need to be FAT"
"I want you roly-poly"
"I'm going to make you BIG" or
"You've got great POTENTIAL"

How big is he/she imagining the feedee becoming?

Drinking cooking oil

What weatabix said. Adding oil to your diet will make you feel satiated very quickly and will keep you that way for hours. That's not a pleasant or very effective way to gain weight. In fact, adding the right oils to your diet (e.g. fish oils) is probably one of the most effective ways to maintain or *lose* weight.

Coming to terms with fat -- and health

"I can't come to terms that I'm skinny. But I don't want to gain any weight. And I don't want to be in the middle. And I don't want to lose weight either. So I don't know how I'm going to resolve that part."

How about not worrying about your weight at all? Even if you want to maintain an olympic level of fitness, weight is a bogus metric.

Witness, for example, the discussion over whether Olympian Lindsey Vonn is "fat":
www.skibunny.co.uk/2010/01/fat-lindsey-vonn-does-her-talking-on-the-hill.html

Fortunately, in addition to being a world-class skier and beauty, she's also got a head on her shoulders so she doesn't pay it any mind.

If you want to be stronger, or quicker, or healthier, or better at a sport, find some valid metrics and work on them. Don't worry if you're "skinny", "moderate" or "fat" in someone else's opinion.

For example, I have a goal of improving my balance (e.g. being able to do step-ups without falling over), addressing hip, ankle and back pain through targeted exercises, improving my blood chemistry and continuing to make progress on upper and lower body strengthening, so that I'm less tired at the end of a long day. Results on these metrics have a lot to do with nutrition and the efficiency and intensity of training and very little to do with weight.
