As I ease into my new lifestyle, I've been working through a lot of old beliefs that kept me thin and miserable.

While it may be normal reality to many on here, it just occurred to me that no diet is ever "wrong" in any sense, if you enjoy it.

I fucking love chips and other snack foods, but was always heavily discouraged from eating them when I was growing up.

Now, I realize that my entire day could be various chips and other snack foods. Would I enjoy this diet nonstop for days or weeks? Probably not, but tomorrow I am going to the store and filling the cart with chips, soda, and a couple of cakes.

Eating can have whatever structure I want it to have now, and so much worry has been taken off of me.

Thank you for reading my rant / little discovery.

So I was talking to someone at work and they were telling me about how the were not happy about unintentionally losing weight before their diabetes diagnosis. She was upset about how her body looked now. She was asking if I knew anyway to safely gain back some of her weight. She is on insulin and under control now. I didn’t know what to say. I told her to ask her dr. I was just wondering if anyone one here had any experience with this. Please understand that there is nothing sexual between us. I looked up some information and it says once one’s blood sugar is level, insulin will most like put weight back on the person anyway. Thanks for the help guy’s.

Hello, so this here is mostly about building up courage.

Me and my GF have been together for almost 1.5 years and living with each other for about the same time, and we have had no fights or anything during this time. And what usually happens when people get together is that you gain some weight, which both me and her have done. Now she has problems with her joints, she is opting for losing weight with a gastric bypass, but as of right now, she takes ozempic to lose weight.

Now, I had the suspicion before that I liked being heavier, even though I thought I was a feeder only, but now being so that she will lose weight, and that I still will love her no matter what, has made me want to get fatter. I have gained 22 lbs during our relationship, having a max weight of 235 lbs. I absolutely love the way my stretchmarked bely prutrudes, and how my moobs have started hanging, and I want to gain more weight, like get to 250-260.

The only problem I have, I don't know how to tell her that I want to do it, she generally liked skinnier guys before getting together with me (weighed like 213 when we moved together) because I'm already not really her type, and I want to move away from what her type is. I'm scared that she wanna leave me or something like that. The other problem is that our budget can't really support quick gains (which I want to do) so it will be a double whammy against me wanting to gain weight.

How can I say all this to her without making it too weird, and how do I build up the courage to do so?

Just wondering if anyone else has lost weight from diabetes? But once your levels are good, can you gain it back safely?

Idk what kind of scale he has. He had it long before we met. It goes up to 450 lbs. There was a time when he was much heavier than that, so we only knew how much he weighed when he went to his appointments.

He weighs less than 450, so his scale works. But we don't really use it like that.

As for the advice, she focuses on improving is macro nutritional needs. (His micro nutritional needs are fine). For example, she has him drinking protein shakes because he isn't getting enough in his diet.

Morbidly A Beast:
Seems like anything that reads over 450 is expensive Af, I get why you’d just wait for the doctors it’s probably what I’m going to do

I got the appointment for next week not sure what to expect but here goes nothin. interesting does he just not care for meat? Seems like I eat excessive amounts of protein cold cuts burgers cheese lots of milk etc I don’t care for sweets all that much.

My growing beer belly turns me on as well as getting breathless walking up stairs. Not sure what will happen to me ,yet I find it very hot at only 150 how my body is reacting to a diet of junk,fast food n booze ..

I have an idea, which I will test tomorrow morning, and perhaps over several days, but I wanted to check with you guys first for your input.

Drinking a lot of soda is easy, and when starting out a gain, one goal is to expand the stomach so that it feels empty (or at least less full).

So, starting the day with a soda bloat seems like a great idea...right? Any advice, anecdotes from past experiences, etc., are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Sneederid:
Read through and it’s well explained, thanks for the insight. Why do you think it sticks when people don’t immediately lose it naturally?

Trying to gage wether it’s a good idea for those dipping their toe into gaining

A couple of days ago I had a discussion in the chat with some folks about the chat leaks that happen. Those in the chat decided that compiling some data would be helpful in finding out when and why this happens to see if there are patterns, and figure out how to fix the issue:

The easiest way collect the data would be to submit this to us on the site as and when it happens. To keep things private such as details about browsers and such, rather than posting all details here, it would be best to make an abuse report against FF Team Profile and copy the form / info below and fill it out.

I can then transfer this over to a program and do some data mining once we get enough reports.

Please submit an abuse report on the FF Team profile: Click Here

With the following details:

Time of chat leak:
Your time zone: (For example England is BST British Summer Time).
Browser and version:
Using Mobile, Table, Desktop:
Using Mobile Data or Wifi:
Description of what happened immediately before, and after / what were your actions in the chat, what did you click on, were there any errors?:
For example:
* Did the chat automatically change to general before you sent the dm?
* Did you submit your dm in private chat and then chat changed to general?
* Is the dm shown in both private and general chat?
* Were you thrown into a private chat?
* Did the chat crash, freeze or have a blank screen when it happened or near to when the chat leak happened?
* Did your internet disconnect from mobile data or wifi?

Please also include anything else you can think of that you feel might be helpful?

I went to the doctors today it was just a normal check up but I got weighed in, turns out I’m up to 426 the topic of my weight came up when the nurse weighed me she assumed I weighed less than I did and was super apologetic when she read the number outloud, I just shrugged it off like nothing but I was quite amazed how much over 400 I am haha I remember when I just crossed 300

then again when the doctor came in, mentioned how I’m up 50 pounds from my last visit expressed concern asked what I’ve been doing and I was just honest about it, I just said how I love to eat and eat a lot and how work takes almost all my energy and how I actually don’t mind being fat. He said my weight isn’t a problem, for now (hey plus points for being educated) but he recommended me a dietician (again) and said he wants me back more often for regular checkups.

also I could not for the life of me fit into any of my sweatshirts from the spring this morning 🙈they are 3XL my belly poked out the bottom of all of em ☺️

Munchies:
Sooo ...
When the scale you got way back when suggested you were over 400 lbs, it might have been true. 🤭

There's no harm in seeing a dietitian. My partner has one, and she's been helpful. She's fat friendly and takes the time to listen to him. Her focus is health, not weight loss.

My partner is looking more vibrant and feeling more energetic since he's started seeing her.

Morbidly A Beast:
Im not sure what kind of rink a dink thing happened with that scale im fine not owning one im not about to spend 400 dollars for one haha do you guys have a high end scale?

Yeah I will be seeing the dietician I think what kind of information does she give him?
