Sooo many reasons why I'm fat. The biggest one is that it's intentional!
1) I have cultivated and "built" an obese body I'm comfortable in.
2) I absolutely love the feeling of a belly stretched way beyond capacity and fit to burst with food and drink.
3) I enjoy food, and when I eat, gluttony kicks in and I want to keep going because I enjoy the taste.
4) My favorite physical feature is my belly because of its round shape, and I've enjoyed watching it grow and retain that shape. I also enjoy feeling it bulge when I'm stuffed.
5) I always wanted a 100 inch waistline and, for much of my gain, was striving to get there. Now I've exceeded it, which I consider a point of pride.
6) Outside of my walks, which I do enjoy, it's my natural inclination to be sedentary.
7) I have a natural tendency to gain weight easily.
8) I find my own obesity to be a turn on, particularly belly play, and my belly is more sensitive to the touch when very full.
9) The foods I enjoy most tend to be highly caloric (I LOVE carbs).
10) I've grown more self-confident the more obese I've gotten, versus the short time I was under 200 pounds.
I'm sure there are other reasons, but these carry the most weight. (Pun intended. I'll see myself out. 🤣 )

I despise this movie. My fiance and I hate the assumptions it could lead people to make about our relationship, which is a consenting, completely loving partnership. We've already faced people who assume I'm fat for him. I'm not. I'm fat for me, and I was obese long before he was in the picture. He just happens to love my body as much as I do.
My point is, the movie implies that fat is so disgusting and abhorrent, no one would voluntarily choose it without being a prisoner. Not true at all.

I can't give any recommendations, but I'm curious about how cities where one doesn't need a car (NYC, San Francisco, Boston, ETC) are when it comes to feedism, since one will be walking a lot in those places, and will thus burn more calories.
Munchies:
You are thinking too small. Walkability is actually good for feedism.
If you can easily walk to your favorite food spots, you'll go there more. Plus any money you save on car expenses can go towards food expenses.
On top of all that, walking helps digestion and can work up an appetite. Any calories you burn will mean nothing compared to how many you'll eat.
I once gained 9 pounds in 3 days in NYC!

A constant intake I find is more conducive to gains. Increasing it over time. As three meals.
And I as like a day of snaking, every half hr or so, they is also a way to be lots of calories in one day.
None the less I like to have a bigger feed to test my capacity as well, so both I guess.
BigBallBellyGirl:
Agreed re: constant intake. I find, if I want to gain A LOT, it's helpful to do a giant stuffing day, enough to push my weight up ten pounds on the scale, and then to continue eating big so none of the weight drops off. It's how I've achieved some of my biggest gains ever
Munchies:
This is how I packed 100 lbs on my partner in under a year.
He had a gastric bypass years before we met, so his capacity was kinda small. By the time we stopped for health reasons, he was eating about 14k calories a day.
Some of my finest work, ngl.
Very impressive. I bet you both enjoyed every minute.
Stretching the stomach is a real thing. When I am in peak gaining mode, two large pizzas are my norm (and don't even make me overly full), and it seems so foreign to think the vast majority of people hit capacity at two or three slices.

Things I've broken / destroyed:
- barstool in my own kitchen
- dining room chair at my soon-to-be in-laws
- pool float
- Adirondack chair at a VRBO
- numerous toilet seats
- shower chair
- mechanism in the passenger seat of my old car
- a hotel mattress
- a conference room chair
- 2 restaurant chairs
- 2 scales
- a grocery store mobility scooter
At this size, where I go is very much determined by the seating available, since some of this destruction happened publicly.

Being tied to a chair (by my fiance, because I trust him) and being stuffed to my absolutely maximum capacity. Then, I'd like to be force funneled with gainer shake and inflated with air simultaneously (doubt that's even physically possible... Safely anyway) until I ballooned up into a giant, swollen sloshing ball.

This wasn't my first awakening to liking my own fat, but it's certainly an experience that stands out.
I grew up in a fairly fit household with clean eating habits, but I was ALWAYS overweight. Even when my mother was successful at limiting my intake, I still stayed chubby and had a big belly. During the summer break between third and fourth grade, I found ways to sneak snacks from the kitchen and keep a stash. I also became more social, and I had access to junk food at a friend's house. By the time school started, I had put on so much weight I could no longer fit in a regular, one-piece classroom desk. My permanent seat was the crafts table, and my teacher put another (thin) student there with me so I wasn't excluded.
During the first week of school, I got constant comments from other kids about my weight and big pot belly Instead of feeling hurt, I reveled in the comments. After that, it was never meanspirited. (It's hard to tease someone about something they're proud of.) Being fat became an accepted part of my Identity, and I was happy with it. I would even brag about how much I could eat, and at lunch, classmates would give me any food they didn't want.
On one particular day, several students had given me items they didn't want. One girl said, "Let's see how fat she gets RIGHT NOW!" This caught the teacher's attention. She scolded the other students and made a rule on the spot that no one could give away food, citing allergies as as a reason. I was so disappointed, because that effectively put a stop to my extra lunch supply. Still, twenty years later, I haven't forgotten it.
