Hanukkah 🕎

MottiF:
So, the most fattening Jewish holiday has started and it’s time for me to eat as much as possible doughnuts with clear goal to become bigger and fatter, like a doughnut.

There is so much fattening food that will help gain so much weight in only eight days — what do you say?

No wonder people are gaining weight mostly in winter with all these holidays like Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year celebrations…


Happy Festival of Lights!

What does gaining mean to you ?

Dolkite:
I think people as a whole need to embrace getting fatter. It's a natural thing for most of us even if we're not deliberately overeating.

People need to celebrate the fact that food is abundant and mostly cheap and there's little to no need to do physical labor anymore. There's no reason why we shouldn't indulge ourselves and let our bodies grow fat and soft.

20 years from now, fat will be the norm.


My dear, fat is already the norm. It's just not accepted.

A reminder to everyone in the community

MrOverstuffed:
I aim to spread love, kindness, respect, and trust throughout the community, no matter how cliche or sappy that sounds.
This is a reminder that anyone you want/hope to talk to in this community is a human being. They have their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and desires, even if that person doesn't make sense to you, that's okay. Please do not disrespect anyone for your own goals and desires. Nobody owes you anything. Do not treat anyone badly because they say no, they are not here to appeal to your fantasy.
The best thing you can do to support your feedee creator is to just show love and appreciation for the content they're making, and not expect anything in return. Almost every feedee is looking to be themselves, to feel proud of what they're doing and share it with the community. Spamming 100 messages asking for belly pics, to feed them, to meet irl (just.. don't), that isn't love, it isn't appreciated or ever wanted. It's a delusional mindset that people living in a fantasy have created. Nobody likes that, I need to emphasize that, please do not harrass anyone for you're own benefit.
Sorry for that rant, this happens way too often and it should be spoken up by more than just the one being harrassed.
I hope every feedee out there or who reads this is proud of who they are and what they do. Don't listen to the pervs, hecklers, haters, just be you and do what makes you happy, even if no one else understands. I'm proud we have all the feedee's we do today, both male, female, they/them and everyone. And thank you to anyone who's been super sweet and respectful for the community, you're making it a better place.


Adding onto this, don't try to force people to be something they are not. You see it a lot from people trying to convince foodies, bloaters, and the occasional feeder to be their feedee. And on the flip side, if you are a feedee

When you treat people poorly, people talk about you. You might not see it, but people will shoot messages to other users - sometimes on different platforms - to avoid you like the plague.

Why are people so angry at fat acceptance movements on the internet?

Morbidly A Beast:
you know for all the chuds that post “body positive cringe compilation #16816382b” there doesn’t seem to be a very big outlet for body positivity and fat acceptance on the internet. You think it would be all pervasive but if you look up body positivity or fat acceptance the first 100 videos are all cringe compilations or reaction videos.

It’s insane that people have such a strong reaction to bigger bodies


Despite a lot of people saying that body shaming is good for fat people, I don't think they truly believe that. I think that they have stuff going on in their personal lives and want to feel superior to someone. And being fatphobic is one of the few forms of bigotry that aren't widely condemned.

If you're interested, here's a deep dive into the show The Biggest Loser.



Of course, the show is on the extreme end of fatphobia. But there's a reason why so many people watched it. One of the show producers went on record stating he wanted to find bigger-than-average people so the average viewer at home could look at them and think, "At least I'm not like them."

You hate to see it.

A humble proposal

I think most people on the site hate the current desktop version of FF, but we learned to live with it.

However, I discovered another way to experience the site better -increasing the page size to 150%. Doing so eliminates all the negative space and triggers the side menu to do what it does on mobile.

Here are some screenshots I took with the scale at 100%, 150% without the menu, and 150% with the menu respectively. My proposal would be to make the 150% the default look.

Eating lard?

Bloat Bigger:
I dunno about the actual health effects of eating straight lard - presumably it's not great - but the usual anti-nausea stuff applies: Eat it quickly, distract yourself while eating, mix it with something palatable and chase with things like (proper) ginger beer and ginger extract (or stronger anti-emetics if you've got them to hand) to tamp down the nausea.


Don't do all that. There's a proper way to consume lard: cook with it. Anything else is absolutely stupid.

Potentially going to the ER due to gastro-intestinal distress stupid.

I don't care if i get banned.

Angelette:
I am thinking of quitting my job today. I can't wait any longer. But I don't know I should I explain to my dad. Right off the bat I assure he will get pissed at me because he does financially depend on me.

Munchies:
Make sure you have something else lined up. Because as bad as your job might be, having no lights, car, gas, or food is worse.

Angelette:
I'm planning to apply as a janitor at Walmart. I just need overalls for my attire. I do have 11k in my account to get by on. Thankfully, I do own a car.


That's good. Just don't quit until you have something else secured.

Angelette:
Because I come from a dysfunctional poor family working a job I despise that I don't have the luxury to get out of. I live in a very poor city (Yakima) where there aren't many job opportunities. I assure Florida in comparison is a more rich place from what I've heard.

My depression developed in my teens. Around 4th grade I became a loner. I was moved to a different homeroom and no longer saw my special ed friends. I also got bullied a lot.

Around these years my dad lost his job at a fruit canning facility and it all went downhill. My mom started to cheat and was rarely spending time with the family. Eventually my dad developed anger problems and verbally abused me and expected me to take over my mom's role.

It is very tough for Zillenial and Gen-Z to have the traditional American dream. Such as affording a house and raising a family. The recession made things worse. The boomers and Gen-X had a better chance back then. Times have changed.

Besides, there's a difference between living somewhere and only visiting the place once. I am sorry to come off as blunt but I doubt you know much about America.

The Ultimate 1992:
Well I'm sorry to hear about you having a hard life as a teenager and about being bullied.

I was also bullied by 4 people at school for 2 years and my father was a very abusive alcoholic, I too have known grief but coming to the internet for help is not the answer.

What you need to do is try and find a job that pays more money where you get treated with respect, or you could go back to college for free if you have a disability.

At least that's how it works in the UK, and even though a few people on here think it's nesscercery to attack me, there was nothing wrong with anything I said, at the end of my message I said I hope your in a relationship because when dealing with mental health problems you need just that, I don't think that Munchies and the other idiot read that part.

Angelette:
I wrote this thread when I was having a mid-life crisis. Of course asking mental help from online strangers (that aren't professionals) isn't always wise. But at the time I had no one to talk to.

I don't regret writing this thread though because I was given resources that I didn't know existed. For my whole life I've always thought therapy was just physical and you have to pay thousands of dollars for it. Also I learned about standing up to my dad.

I assure you don't mean any harm. Though, I think people had the right to be upset. At first, it seemed like you were brushing off my mental health and assumed I am well off. Even if you added that last part in the end. Besides you just now admitted I shouldn't be seeking help on here. I don't know whether you want me to be healthy or not.

Anyways, no, I am not physically disabled. I was in special ed because of my learning disability. I especially struggled hard with math. High paying low entry jobs are a unicorn. Even remote ones are hard to obtain. The only place I can think of that doesn't require any skill and pays over the minimum wage is Costco. Unfortunately, it's a little far from my house and I'm aiming to work somewhere closer.


OP you are a queen filled with kindness and grace. You are going to be okay in the end. You can survive and pull through to the other side.

That said, the resources I gave you can help with a lot of things: food, money, health care, transportation, household goods, etc. You are young and have learning disabilities. You might be qualified for some programs. If not, your income may qualify you for others.

I've worked in healthcare for a number of years - including Medicare and Medicaid. There area lot of programs out there from state, local, and private groups that people don't know about.

Angelette:
I am feeling suicidal right now. I have no access to therapy. It's dark out anyways and I have work in the morning.

I feel foolish for eating dinner. Because I don't deserve it. Since I can't go anywhere alone. I found a way to disappear. If only I had the guts. That is to starve myself.

I love to eat so it won't be easy. I probably won't succeed anyways. But well I now let my thoughts out. I assure some people will get mad at me but oh well. I've been scolded a lot of times for being mentally ill.

The Ultimate 1992:
But how can you be depressed and live in America, it's the place of dreams.

You know how many people in England want to see America but so many are too poor to travel there and the people who do are the talk of the town.

In 2006 I visited Florida for 2 weeks and it really was the best holiday ever, since then I have being pining to go back to see more states and get even fatter.

I hope your in a relationship with a good person right now because you need that when ill with mental health.

It doesn't work like that over here. Over here, college is a priviledge, not a right. You can get government aid for a lot of things, but it won't pay for everything. You're best bet is to get government assistance and scholarships. It is possible to get a full ride scholarship, but you have to keep your grades up. Otherwise you lose everything.

That said, trade schools are an option too.

And I read the part about the relationship thing. Speaking as someone who has been on both sides of that (the depressed person and the one dating the depressed person), it's not all that helpful.

This is not to say don't date depressed people or that depressed people should stay single. But it's better to have a support network that may include a partner rather than relying on one person to fix you.

Also, it's rich calling someone else an idiot when you have no idea what you are talking about.
