Honestly, I'd say I'm probably a masochist, a glutton, and a competitive eater.

I LOVE stuffing until my midsection is so bloated I can't move, and I can't sit upright because of how full I am. More times than I can count, I've eaten until my sides hurt and my skin is sore. For me, this sensation is erotic and addictive. It's what I miss most now that I'm not in active gaining mode.

I also just like to eat. I enjoy food, and I usually want more of it than what I have available. For that reason, for the very brief time in my life I was under 200 lb as an adult, I didn't enjoy saying no to food. Hence, the weight came back with a vengeance.

I'm Also competitive with myself. When I was was regularly eating two large pizzas, I couldn't help but feel like that wasn't much. I pushed myself to finish three, and when I found I could achieve that, I added more slices of a fourth. I've done the same with burgers, and with counting calories in general. My highest calorie count ever was last Thanksgiving, and the competitive part of me wants to challenge that, but I know I gained A LOT of weight from it, And that's not part of the current plan.

To an extent, I feel like I have such a drive to eat and be fat, I'm probably not as big as I'll ever be. If I could be sure I would maintain mobility, I would 100% go for another 100 lb. It's just not feasible currently.

Maintaining as an extreme stuffer who gained rapidly is very hard. Last year, I put on enormous amounts of weight over very short, intense time spans. My everyday intake would easily have been classified as an extreme stuffing, and my extreme stuffings were often between 20,000 and 30,000 calories. Slowing down my gain is probably the hardest thing I ever did, because I lost so much mobility, exercise was next to impossible at one point. I've since built back up some strength, but I'm 35 lb over my goal weight, and at least once a day, I think about how I long to be so packed with food, my entire body feels swollen and tight. It's an addicting sensation. Maybe later this year, I'll do a super stuffing again, but it's a slippery slope!

I'm a big girl... Currently around 533. I don't want to lose weight, but I do want to improve my health. I have been walking with my dog, and I'm up to 1.6 miles a day, broken up into four walks. I take my time going down my block, which is .2 of a mile and then back. I'm slow, but I get there! I should mention that, last September, I couldn't even walk from the car into a grocery store. My fiance had to go get a scooter for me.

Having had good results with walking, as far as a major reduction in physical pain, I decided to add dumbbells. I've been able to increase what I can lift, and my shoulder pain is much less. I wanted to add ankle weights to do slight leg lifts while sitting. Unfortunately, my ankle circumference is just too big. I'm planning to buy a step machine (marketed primarily to seniors) that can be used while sitting.

Adding again, that I have no desire to shed pounds, other than perhaps to get back to what I consider my ideal weight of 525. I see this as a way to stay fat, while minimizing mobility related consequences.

Any other super heavy folks around here who find ways to stay modestly active?

Oh, at some point in my gains, I tried vegetable oil, olive oil, shortening, and butter. Let me strongly caution against ALL of this. Why? Because you will defecate randomly and uncontrollably, and it will continue for days. And it won't be pretty or easy to clean. Take it from me, do yourself a favor, and find another way.

well done! I hope you enjoyed it!

I fantasize about going on a cruise and putting on so much weight, none of the clothing I brought covers all my fat. That would be a dream.

I have some very good friends who know there is a sexual component to my size and eating habits; with some, I've spoken of it, although not in great detail to non-feedists.

My parents know I'm happy with my size and do not aspire to be thin. They're not thrilled, but they also love me enough not to alienate me for it. There is a zero percent chance I'd ever discuss feedism with them

With work, my size and sexual preferences are absolutely no one's business.

All that said, my fiance probably has more friends who know about his lifestyle. He's tall, lean, and fit, and he is marrying a 500 lb.+ woman. While he has been in past relationships with some average-sized or thin women, two of his past girlfriends have been over 300 pounds. At the very least, most people who are close to him know his preferences.

I like all kinds of pizza, but my typical order is either cheese with mushrooms and black olives, or buffalo chicken. I usually stack one slice on top of the other to eat two at a time and get more cheesy goodness. I also dip in ranch or blue cheese. I usually manage two larges in a sitting quite easily.

I would add some caveats around my situation, including having been obese my entire life. When I was eating 12,000 calories, I was already conditioned to big meals from YEARS of stuffing and general over consumption. That said, I had some major health consequences, and some of them linger, even though I'm no longer eating this way. I'm not discouraging anyone by any means, but I am realistic about what can sustainably exist in real life versus fantasy.

Absolutely. I'm quite obese, so my maintenance calories are high-- around 4,000. When I was gaining, I was eating a minimum of 12,000 a day and often a bit more if I was stuffing, so my intake now feels like nothing. Frankly, I'm seldom ever satisfied much less full To an average eater, 4,000 would be a massive amount of food. To me, it's borderline deprivation.
