Extreme obesity - general questions

BigBallBellyGirl:
I'm not too tall (5'3"smiley and about 640 pounds currently. Once I reached about 600, mobility-related issues piled on, and while not confined to bed, I do rely on my husband for many things. I have a very large girth and a round belly, so much so that I haven't been able to reach my belly button in a while. To get everything thoroughly clean, I use assistive tools, like sponges and loofahs on an extender, as well as a special handheld shower head, to clean up. I'm too big to fit my whole body in conventional showers, so I sit on a bariatric shower chair and turn as needed. The process of showering and getting dressed takes about two and a half hours every morning. I also have special tools for when I potty as well as an elevated bariatric toilet apparatus with heavy duty handle bars. I'm no longer able to use bathrooms away from home.

I no longer drive, which is definitely a downside. We have a minivan, and in the past year, I've gotten too big to be comfortable in the front passenger seat, so I have to sit in the second row. Getting a ride share also presents challenges. An Uber XL is necessary, and even then, I have to play with the app until I get a large vehicle like a van or Chevy Tahoe. On more than one occasion, I've had an Uber Driver "arrive" and then pull away after seeing me. That one stings s little, but oh well.

Clothing is a challenge. I have two websites that sell 10x's. Those can be tight on my belly depending on the cut, so I choose fabrics and styles very carefully. It's also quite expensive. If I want something other than loungewear, I've found hiring someone online for custom made pieces is my only option. I also choose carefully so I can dress myself. I have four custom pullover sundresses I can put on without help.i use a grabber with a little claw if I wear underwear.

Finally, because my mobility is so restricted, it's SOOO easy to gain weight. My husband has been helping me eat clean, but even staying at my recommended maintenance calories, I easily gain a couple of pounds a week without realizing it. I'm not trying to lose, but because of mobility, I also don't want to get much bigger. My husband helps me with fitting exercises, including a little weightlifting, to keep strong.

Munchies:
Sounds like you married a keeper. Glad he's putting your health and comfort over his dick.

I hope things stabilize so you can be as mobile as you want to be.

BigBallBellyGirl:
I did indeed find a real one. He runs and exercises about 5 days a week, but he still makes time to do sitting strength training with me almost daily. It's definitely a motivator as a fatty whose natural proclivity is to be sedentary.


Love this for you. I hope you achieve your goals

Yah throw up risk is high. Some people do mentos and coke but I have heard it doesnt work great or at all.


Who told you coke and mentos doesn't work? If you get diet Coke and swallow the mentos whole, it's very bloating.

When did you know you were getting fat? 🍩📈

Increasing stretch marks and belly hang

Chubbydiva:
Belly Bucking is a sport when two large people ( basically, two men) bump each other with their large bellies to bump the other opponent down. When I was a teen, I used to watch the game. I thought it was awesome to see two people bumping their large bellies. They should bring the sport back. Since my colleague and I are both fat, we both play the game. Both of our bellies jiggle when we bump each other. We both have beer bellies that hang over our belts.

Increasing stretch marks and belly hang

Chubbydiva:
My colleague at the library where I worked at told me. If I wanted my belly to hang, wear your jeans under your belly to achieve a belly hang. Both my colleague and I have bellies hanging over our belts. We both have beer bellies now. We also done “Belly Bucking “ games.


What is "belly bucking"?

What were the earliest signs of your fetish?

Fatbellyfeedee:
Mine is very cliche. I always felt some type of way watching episodes of shows where characters would gain a lot of weight. I also used to stuff pillows under my shirt

Canuck:
over the last 20+ years i've talked to a whole lot of people in this community, and i agree with you calling this a "cliche," both seem very common for many people.

the other that i have heard from many is seeing weight loss advertisements with the before/after pictures, and reversing them, lol!


It's really funny how often this has happened. I remember my favorite episodes of any cartoon growing up were always the weight gain episodes.

what's something you wish you knew before you dipped your toes into feedism

Enas:
What counts as "dipping my toes into feedism"?

Im asking because it seems like there is really nothing that would be of much importance to feedism.

For example what you described in your last paragraph, it has to do with relationships, and the communication in them, far more than it has to do with feedism.


"Dipping your toes" means you are a beginner. And relationships are a huge part of feedism, so it counts.

But as for what I'm looking for, you can put anything down you like. Imagine if you could go back in time to the early days for your feedist journey, what would you tell yourself? What do you wish someone told you?

Hello all!

I know that FF has a lot of newbies as well as people who wish to practice feedism, but are unable to do so for one reason or another. I thought it could be fun for those of us to talk about things a novice might not think to ask.

So, to my fellow feedists - feedees, feeders, mutual gainers, and everyone else - what's something you wish you knew before you dipped your toes into feedism

I'll go first. I wish I knew how important it was for feedees and feeders to be on the same page about expectations. My first feedee wanted to get fat fast, and I wanted him to get fat sustainably. In hindsight, this is something we should have discussed before getting together.
