Here's my theory. From what I've read, the way memory works in your brain is by creating a neural pathway for the event. The more your brain travels that neural pathway (the more you think about it), the stronger it gets, and the easier to access next time. This is why people can easily forget what they had for breakfast yesterday, but they still remember things they had to memorize in school when they were 10 years old, even if it's knowledge that they don't find useful in their daily lives. In the first example, they only thought about it while it was happening and never returned to that neural pathway, whereas in the second, they had to think about it a lot, so they permanently made that memory strong in their minds.
I think fetishes work in a similar way. They create a neural pathway of a trigger, like 'fat = arousal', and the more that gets triggered in their brains, the stronger that connection becomes. Your interest in it may come and go (just like you can go years without thinking about a specific memory), but that connection is permanent and there's no way to weaken it. I think if you don't want to have certain fetishes, your best bet is to not expose your brain to them in the first place.

BigOke02:
So I've been wondering about something lately. Is there some reason why we fat people tend to subconsciously play with our bellies?
Because sometimes without noticing, I'd put my hands under my belly, and flick it upwards slightly with my fingertips. I'd only notice when I feel my hands are super warm for some reason... 😂 I've also read other examples of people rubbing their bellies or sit with their arms on top of them without noticing/thinking about it.
So yeah, just something I was thinking about...
Munchies:
Easy. It's warm, soft, and jiggly. All of these make it fun to touch. It's a good way to relieve boredom and stress.
People do something similar with hair and nice fabrics.
They're just stimming, lol

Going to a nutritionist is not like going to a doctor. Unlike a doctor, it's always optional, and you may have to pay out of pocket, so they can only make money by helping you meet your goals. If you tell them you want to gain weight, the worst thing that can happen is that they decide not to work with you. Also, nutritionists are probably less likely to blame your weight for your health problems. I'm sure they have their biases too, but they have to study how nutritional deficiencies can cause all kinds of different symptoms, so they should know better than to say "lose weight and you'll get well"

The number of cults that have incorporated casual sex as a form of spiritual practice makes me think that it's definitely possible to do the same with gluttony, even if there are no real world examples.

And what is the difference between processed foods and ultra-processed foods? Sounds like a new scary buzzword just dropped, guys

Cold pizza is gross. Pizza for breakfast is gross.
Fries dipped in milkshake is also gross. Salt and vinegar potato chips are gross as well.
Most fruit is gross now because they don't let it ripen long enough. If I wanted it to be that sour, I would have bought lemons instead of blueberries.
Eating peanut butter straight out of the jar is pretty good though.

I don't think I believe in the concept of certain foods being "sexier" than others. To me, the sexiest food is the food with the best taste.
Also, who decided that sushi is sexy?
I think it's meant to be sexy for the person watching you eat. I've noticed this is a thing even outside of feedist spaces, like bananas, strawberries and lollipops seem to be sexy foods to normies. Feedists just have more of them.

Thanks, guys. I just hope it will help OP, and anyone else who's struggling.

Hi Malvineous! I appreciated your detailed advice and others' too. I was a little social the past few days. Speaking sentences instead of a few words. It's going to be hard but I rather screw up than be stuck depressed/lonely. Sometimes we gotta get out of our comfort zone.
Nice, that's good to hear. It can be really hard being that vulnerable, but the end result is so, so worth it. Just keep making those baby steps and you'll get there in time.

Ok, here's my hot take. The only good use for cupcakes is when you're hosting a children's birthday party. Real cake is superior in every way. Bigger portions, better flavors, less waste, and cheaper by the pound. Plus there's no annoying paper to peel off of every slice which always takes some of the cake with it.
