Wish I was as big as some of y’all, but when I gained from 160 to 200ish the first time, I met a client of the firm I used to work with who hadn’t seen me for like 6 months. Last time we met I was 160.
He was in line behind me for the bank cashier and I noticed he kept looking at me and looking at me (was hoping he would not notice me), till finally he realized who I was and told me “hey long time no see, how are you? Woah what happened to you, you certainly look different?

At this point I was a little embarrassed and tried to cut short by being forward: “ yeah I put on some weight since we last met. How is everything?”
Him: “I would say more than just some (he said it with a smirky laugh), by that big rear I would certainly never thought it could be you.”

I could not grasp that he could be so forward in making comments about my body, thankfully the cashier called me and then I quickly got out of there. Still feel like his comments were violating and uninvited. Part of me loved the teasing, but since I was not used to receive such comments as I had always been skinny all my life it felt pretty weird being called out as a fatty for the first time.
Outside of the bank I looked at my reflection in the glass doors and thought, well I kinda have to agree, that is quite a big rear.

There's a difference between teasing in love and teasing in disdain. For example, if I call my partner a "gluttonous fatty" it's a term of endearment. He knows I like that aspect of him, so he loves it when I say that to him.

However, if a rando on the street called him that, it wouldn't have the same connotation behind it.

In your situation, this guy was belittling you. It's clear he's fatphobic. And since he's also a client, he was probably on a power trip too. He sounds like he's fun at parties /s

Otacon0205:
Funny thing is that the guys is chubby himself, so I’m like, why are you judging?


There are a lot of bigger people with internalized fatphobia. I wouldn't be shocked if he was insecure about his size. So when he saw you, 40 or so pounds heavier, it was his time to shine.

You also see it a lot from people who are significantly bigger than the people they are fat shaming. The other side of the coin is when they are "concerned" about your wellbeing. There's usually some unsolicited advice mixed in.

You hate to see it.

Showers getting exhausting

HRHB15:
I’m thinking about redoing my shower so these are great tips if I continue to grow beyond my current expectation/goal. I definitely need a little more space already.


It's helpful to have something to grab onto in the shower. My shower has a bar that's really helpful when I shave my legs. If you have a shower chair, that bar could be a helpful addition.

Is being gassy just part of being 300+?

Morbidly A Beast:
I don’t think so I’m not particularly gassy I don’t think, I mean if I’m drinking alot of sodas which I tend to drink a lot of I get burpy but flatulence not so much

Munchies:
Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of feedists eat foods and drinks that are a pain to digest in large quantities. Lotta lactose and fat. Hell, if you're eating so much that you're stuffed for hours, the sugar in your belly will start to ferment which can make you gassy.

The more you push yourself to gain, the more you distress your internals. Which is why feedists who don't force it tend to have less gassiness overall.

The***teen:
This probably explains why i have been getting more and more gassy over the years,
I overest so much everyday on junkfood and so on, i never thought about it would be worse to digest than other food 😅

Munchies:
Well, the food you eat has to be processed. And some foods are harder to digest on top of it. Not to mention the more you have to digest, the longer it will take to digest.

On top of all that, if you keep packing it in, some of that food will start to ferment inside of you. That leads to a lot of gassiness.

If you take a few days to eat a more balanced diet, you'll notice a reduction in how much gas you produce. Your gassiness will return to normal once you go back to your usual diet.

The***teen:
I always keep packing it in untill im so stuffed i can baerly breathe or move only then i feel satisfied, i diddent know the food would start to ferment how can that happen ? Is it because of overeating and the body takes to long to digest or ?

Munchies:
Pretty much. Your gut has bacteria in it to aid digestion. If food sits in your digestive track for too long - especially if your diet has a lot of sugar and carbs - it can lead to an overgrowth that causes fermentation. This can cause a number of issues from indigestion to brain fog and mood swings.

The***teen:
My diet is pretty much sugar and carbs only so it makes sense then smiley
I dont suffer from any of the other issues you describe luckily 😃


May it remain.

Showers getting exhausting

Morbidly A Beast:
Get yourself a luffa on stick it is S tier

Munchies:
I have a long handled scrub brush. It's really good at exfoliating.

Morbidly A Beast:
I use it on the hard to reach spots I got tired of trying to crunch up and wrestle myself in the shower lol I didn’t even know it’s used exfoliating


Of course! Anything with a rough texture is good for exfoliating.

I know some people just soap themselves up with their hands and call it a day. But if you really want to get clean, use something like a rag, loofah, or scrub brush. Just make sure you regularly clean them. They can house bacteria if you don't.

Smart and cheap foods for belly stuffing?

Ligr77:
I've mentioned this before somewhere else, but I feel like it's perfect here!

Maruchan ramen. Super quick, super versatile, full of carbs, it's one of the staples of my pantry and/or fridge.


If you stuff yourself with a lot of Maruchan ramen, I recommend not using the seasoning packet. If you are eating several bowls, you'll be retaining water for days.

That can get really uncomfy - especially if you have periods.

Instead, season the noodles yourself. You might even make something tastier.

As for the seasoning packets, set them aside. You can use them in a lot of other dishes. I highly recommend adding a packet to some rice, and added that rice to whatever meal you were about to make.

Game changer.

Is there policy on ai?

MarieTrans:
I wish there was some website plug-in or something somehow you could use to check if something is made by an ai, maybe someday


There are tools available to see if someone used AI programs. However, not all programs are created equal, and false positives exist.
