I was the fattest kid in school, the biggest person 99 percent of the time in my college classes, the largest person with my company, and pretty much the fattest person I see in most public spaces. My immediate family members are all thin or average weight, and there's no one in my extended family who is more than a little overweight.

I've actually had the opportunity to do it before-- an all-day stuffing. Thousands of calories of rich, delicious food... all kinds of flavors... Until my tight, bloated belly is so stuffed, there's nothing to do but nap. When I wake up, I'm ready to do it again, and this time, I expand even more. I repeat this for a full day, until I'm so swollen and sated with food, my body is sensitive to the touch, and my belly button feels like it's straining. No sensation like it.

Around 450, I started losing the ability to turn as I needed to in my vehicle, therefore, I lost full visibility. I found my belly mashed into the steering wheel too, and when I almost lost control struggling to make a turn one day, I knew it wasn't safe to drive my sedan anymore. For a brief time, my now fiance did all the driving. Then, we traded my Camry for a van. I'm both safer and more comfortable. I've also been able to add a mount for my new scooter, which is useful because I've gotten too heavy for most loaner scooters in grocery stores.

It works this way for my fiance and me. I'm very obese; he's 6'4" and a lean 180 pounds. I love his body regardless, but his build does allow us to do things we might not be able to do if he was fat too.

It feels great, doesn't it! Of course, I'm someone who actually outgrew a car, soooo... 🤣

Your body is YOURS. If you love yourself at a larger size and want to gain, do it for YOU. Love your body, and enjoy yourself.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy I will get to be both in style and comfortable.

While I am supersized, I'm still very much into looking neat and feeling pretty. Clothing are a challenge because I'm short (5'3" and very big bellied. I intentionally gained 200 pounds last year (plus a few more this year, though I'm mostly maintaining). My standing midsection measurement, at the biggest spot, is 98", which is bigger than 80% of plus sized retailers carry. Of course, as is the case with fat, my girth increases dramatically when I sit, so everything has to have a lot of give. The point is, clothing is tricky because of my shape, but I'm excited because I found a freelance fashion designer/clothing maker on Upwork. I sent her measurements and got three beautiful spring dresses. I'm definitely going to order more. Of course I had to wait for them, and they weren't cheap, but I'll be wearing them all season. Going to prove that fat girl summer can be hot girl summer too!

I have a friend who teaches middle school. Lunch periods are 40 minutes. That time includes lining the students up to walk to the lunchroom, standing beside her class in the lunch line, and waiting at her designated spot for them to line back up when finished. As a result, teachers end up wolfing down food quickly. She realized, as she unintentionally gained about 20 pounds (unwanted, in her case), she was eating everything quickly and would often be overly full before her brain and stomach connected to realize it. One of her weight loss strategies was to slow down and eat mindfully.

I don't want to lose weight, but when I did decide to more or less maintain, I started doing the same thing. As a stuffer, I'm accustomed to putting away a whole large pizza in 15 minutes. I've had to step back and learn to taste my food instead of packing it in as fast as possible. Granted, I still eat a lot. My maintenance calories at my size are about 4,500 a day. But eating more slowly has helped me cut back to that, from 10,000 to 20,000 as my norm.

I said that all to say, what you've read is definitely true. Take it from a long time power stuffer

Delicious. I once ordered three foot-longs, including mozzarella meatball, turkey and swiss, and chicken Philly cheese steak, a bowl of broccoli and cheese soup, and a large soda. I ate it all in restaurant and got lots of stares from the staff!
