Fattening boyfriend

First off munchies is fucking hilarious (and correct) but I was interested in the small note about sf sodas softening up the aforementioned boyfriend. There are a million studies on it without a clear consensus but quite a few (especially the non industry funded tests) point towards stuff like aspartame actually causing weight gain specifically. Some of the tests on rats that it caused wg on seemed fairly conclusive. Here is the article I referenced to refresh my memory usrtk.org/sweeteners/aspartame-weight-gain/,People%20who%20regularly%20consume%20artificial%20sweeteners%20are%20at%20increased%20risk,in%20Trends%20in%20Endocrinology%20%26%20Metabolism.

That aside I've personally found sparkling water to be a good way to sate soda cravings.

How does the community cultivate more respect for real dating?

Kind of what foreverffa said, it isn't nessasairly bad to check if your sexually compatible first and learn more personality stuff afterwards. Especially so when many who come here have very particular dos and do nots in relationships.
Like if you pair a hardcore feeder with someone who has no intention of gaining, your just as borked as two socially incompatable people.
Food for thought mayhaps.

Medical concerns

SSBBW Summer:
I highly recommend vitamins from Holland & Barrett. There's lots of vitamins for the heart, lungs, whole immune system. Vitamin B, D & C are important too. You could also just get multivitamins which means just one pill a day. Being 500 pounds & into gaining I swear by vitamins. I feel like they keep my organs going.

Vitamins can be incredibly useful. Many of the more competent doctors and pharmacists I've worked with strongly encourage taking vitamins particuarly after doing testing on a person to person basis and stuff like coq10 is a common supplement suggestion for heart health both on its own and to compensate for nutrient depletion from prescribed meds.
There is also stuff like magnesium that's incredibly important for bodily function but almost totally absent from most food in developed countries due to farming methods.

Seatbelt extenders

HappyBigBelly:
Are these available in the states,
I wonder? I remarked to my wife just the other day about seat belts not really being designed for women at all, and definitely not for large women. My wife’s hips and butt spill over onto the seat belt buckle and it’s sometimes a challenge to find it in the first attempt.
yeah my fiancé always brings one for herself so she doesn’t have to ask the staff when on a plane flying from cali.

Any experience with wooplus?

Back when I used it a couple years ago I saw a good amount of overlap with folks from our niche sites and here (la is dense as fuck) but yeah moderate spam and I didn’t actually see a lot of plus sized people strangely enough.
Given me and my about to be newly wed wife met on the hellhole that is and was feabie so anything is possible, just always maintain a degree of skepticism no matter where you look.

Has anyone really met their better half here?

I actually met my soon to be wife on Feabie, the website is still a hilarious shithole but I got a wonderful run out of it.

Fat friendly doctors in the la area

I'm looking for a fat friendly or to say not aggressively fat unfriendly doc in the LA area. I need to drag my partner in for a medical visit (mostly pcp stuff) but she's particularly traumatized by shit doc's and I'm trying to find one that isn't going to make that worse. ie; oh you're dying of appendicitis? No your not, your just fat and other such gems of wisdom by g̶a̶s̶l̶i̶g̶h̶t̶e̶r̶s̶ professionals.
Given that somefuckinghow that doesen't sound out of the ordinary from what I've read here, I figured why not ask around. Thanks for really any recommendations, even working in the medical field, it's not an easy search.

Sleep apnea and other sleep related illnesses.

I appearantly snore heavily and speak constantly in my sleep though I am of a regular weight. That said reading a few of the comments about the drowsiness and whatnot does bring up a few red flags given I regularly fall asleep during the day and have had some scares during driving (facedown sleeper too)
Mayhaps the things you learn on the fa forums.

How many in a relationship where your partner weighs more than you?

My partner is about 320lbs and Im 200, given shes 5'6 and I'm 6'1 so the difference is considerably more pronounced.

Budget

I'm not a feedee but my personal food budget allocation is $10~ a day. That's not to say I actually spend 10 dollars each day, I buy foods in bulk or on sale typically and I happen to subsist off pasta largely speaking which is already cheap as hell even if your getting decent quality pasta. Obviously I always cook at home and but that's including pesto, spices and seasonings which are all very cheap.
If gaining is your goal you can also get 1800 calories for less than a dollar with many store generic options. Given plain pasta tends to taste like shit so find some seasoning or sauces but hell, there is always good old mac&cheese and plenty of other options.
As mentioned by someone else, buying like a whole ass chicken or bulk various other items are also an option if grain isn't to your taste. Just be smart with what you spend it on and learn to cook (if you do already, it doesen't hurt to improve)
