thanks @Munchies!

a quick search said that cheeses and yogurts were examples of fermented foods. i'm thinking vinegary things too like sauerkraut (probably perfect actually) or pickles might work? do you have any other specifics i should look at?

AskDrFeeder:
I'm not saying you should dump all your thin friends, just the fat-shaming ones.

AskDrFeeder:
One of the downsides of getting fat is the social stigma.

I've always thought the best way to deal with that is to make fat friends, and possibly to dump thin friends.

Has anyone done this?

Has it helped?

Is it easier to make fat friends than thin ones?

Munchies:
Why would you dump a friend because they aren't your preferred size? That's a shit way to be a friend. What are you going to do if one of your fat friends gets thin? Dump them?

That's a good way to be shitty and friendless.

Besides, a real friend will stay by your side through thick and thin. I've got a good mix of friends of all sized and body types. Fat, chubby, slim, muscular, etc. We clicked due to compatible personalities and interests. You know ... like normal people.

ForeverFFA:
People of all weights can be catty and shallow. It's about personality, not size. Not all thin people are thin because they are obsessed with appearances either.

ForeverFFA:
A couple of times I had issues where I accidentally submitted messages/posts with image emojis I did not want because I placed two punctuation marks together. I know emojis can be fun, but accidental ones can be super embarrassing in the wrong contexts, and I was wondering if FF could reconsider this automatic feature or at least give an option to disable it?

ForeverFFA:
It's really just me that has this problem? I guess it's time to break my parentheses habit anyway lol.

Pabtoots:
It seems quite rare to see bigger girls wearing proper high heels, i was wondering why that is? I do imagine there will be more tension on the feet with the extra weight but is this the reason they aren't worn very often, or is there something else? Or is there a certain weight that heels become more difficult to wear for most people? Imo you can't beat the look of a big girl in a nice outfit and some high heels, but do totally understand if they aren't comfortable etc.

Munchies:
I have a question. What are "proper high heels"? Because I see plus-sized women wear high heels all the time. It's extremely common.

Pabtoots:
Good question, that probably wasn't the best description to use. I was referring to anything above maybe 1 or 2 inches. Cool, thats really good, and interesting that you see plus sized woman wearing them often. I quess I just haven't been very lucky or im not looking hard enough 😄

AskDrFeeder:
Take it slow, learn to pace yourself, and eat a variety of things, not just ice cream and sweets. It's fine to eat junk food, but eat healthy stuff as well. You might try eating healthy in the beginning of the day and switching to fattening goodies after you satisfy your nutritional requirements. Or eat healthy meals, but double down on snacks and dessert.

After awhile you'll get used to eating like that and will be able to eat more and enjoy it.

Sandee:
I did aim for 2200 today
I did it but it was slightly uncomfortable.
Hopefully i don't burn all of it

Hiccupx:
The AI generated tick box sounds like the way to go for now. My take on AI in general is that, human created is better. I predict that in the near future, the Internet is going to be absolutely awash with AI generated content, and the vast majority of it will be sub-standard, mass produced, drivel. The more AI there is, the more human generaled content will seem rare and valuable, and this is what people will want. For instance, there are now quite a few AI generaled images in the pics section, they are quite clever and of some interest for a while, but of far more interest are images of real people.

Letters And Numbers:
I guess I disagree a bit. The internet is already saturated with static AI images, and I don't see that changing without legislation to protect IP. If you look at Deviantart, it's flooded with AI (here's their policy, fyi. Mandatory to disclose if any AI tools are used, and they have bots that scan metadata to independently flag suspected AI. www.deviantart.com/team/journal/New-Label-Requirement-for-AI-Artwork-966421077). Midjourney has gotten really good. Even free tools are good. A lot of people have trouble telling the difference between good photorealistic AI and the real thing. Even on this site, people get fooled. *Especially* on a site like this where a lot of people want extraordinary body proportions, there will be a demand for AI images. Hopefully the era of the tech bros and computer touchers who call themselves artists because they can generate a cool pic of a sexy astronaut (seriously, why is it always astronauts?) is over, but who knows.

For written word, AI is getting worse. There have been bot-written stories posted on this website going back a year. If you read stories regularly, you may have read some and had no idea. They are getting better and faster to make. Our friend, the OP (who seems like a very nice fellow), generated conservatively 30,000 words of content that for the most part makes sense in maybe 2 weeks. And that's from a non-native english speaker. There are bot-written stories on here that are more convincing. They fool people. By this time next year, AI fiction is going to be absolutely everywhere.

AI video, too. That's the next one we'll see over the next year. It will be interesting to see what onlyfans does. I don't know if they have an AI policy or not. But they have a ton of money behind them, and if they want AI video on their site, they could really put pressure on legislators to slow down and let AI do its thing. Or vice-versa. We know where SAG AFTRA stands.

And I guess I disagree that people will choose the human-made stuff over the AI-generated stuff. Some will! But people like consumer art (and smut) that's familiar, that is like a product they already love, with a small enough twist to make it different, but samey enough that it doesn't challenge. Look at the most popular TV shows and books and movies and music. Imagine Dragons is a huge band! Imagine Dragons! They make music for 7-year old boys! They're huge! AI-Imagine Dragons would be huge, too. I mean, some of the most popular human-written stories on here are some of the dumbest, too. But that's what people like! By and large, the lowest common denominator is pretty low. Go into any professional/semi-professional writing space and all the advice is to find a very popular, marketable entity and copy the formula with enough of a twist that it passes the sniff test, and then market yourself to fans of that original property. And repeat.

But AI checkboxes would be a good step and would keep this site in line with a lot of other content hosting sites out there. Definitely a good step.

hey! brand new profile that i'll fill out soon

i love stuffing and bloating to the point of having a really distended stomach and not really being able to comfortably move, but i am also an athlete and need to maintain my weight for me team.

that means i'm looking for foods/recipes/ideas to give that full feeling and a huge bloat without a ton of calories. my favorite i know right now is 2 subway footlongs + 2 liter of diet soda (good protein source, relatively low calories, high sodium so lots of water retention)

that ^ is pretty close to my limit but i'm looking to get better

anyway what are some good foods for stuffing and bloating? (preferably low cal)
