Most of the time I draw first blood by joking about my belly, how hard I'm working for it, and referring to myself in the 3rd person, usually as "fat boy". It always gets a laugh... with, not at me.

My sister and nieces are another story. They have no qualms about making cutting remarks in front of other people. I began distancing myself from my family even before I starting gaining.

I've never had a feeder, but the idea is becoming increasingly attractive.

Getting, being and looking fat feels great. I love food and I love to eat. It's becoming a goal and a challenge to get fatter. Especially with every pound or inch I increase by. It helps to envision myself bigger, and what I want to look like.

I hope it has that effect on me. I would like to get more fat on my butt and hips to balance out my belly, not to mention getting more moobish.

I use the store brand of whatever store I happen to be at.

The thing is that she doesn't have a lot of self esteem to begin with, never did. I might add she's always been overweight too, and recently got out of an emotionally abusive marriage with a bully. Her ex is overweight but made fun if her. She and I probably relate the best of all.

I guess I'm not stating anything new that this is the kind of prejudice and abuse we will face. Gotta take it in stride.

So, you'd just use up 1 or 2 quarts spread out over the week, adding it to whatever else? I've been adding about 2 oz. to a glass of whole milk to punch up the calories.

It's bullying when you really think about it. One sister says "oh get over it" or "lighten up", the other says (proudly) that they do it to my niece (her own daughter!) too. So classy. 🙄

Of course!

Thanks for the compliment.

See, I am the "baby of the family". I also think I was resented. It was always thrown in my face how spoiled I was, called spoiled brat, and such.

A couple of years ago at a gathering a few comments were made about my tattoo. It is molon labe ("come take", being a statement of defiance) written in ancient Greek. Someone asked about it, I explained, and was immediately made a laughing stock. This was the same day my sister made a mock bow in front of others saying "oh now you worship cows!" because I passed on a London broil.

Hey wait a minute... and I thought being mocked for being fat was bad? What WAS I thinking!? rofl

Thanks. I never thought I'd think of them that way, but you are right. My eldest brother never says anything. My other brother's pet name for me is "hey lard-ass". I come back with either "oh f--- you" or "what mirror do you use?"

You'd expect to get comments and looks from coworkers or looks from people in restaurants or department stores (when a 5' 6" guy grabs 42s or 46s pants). But you don't because everyone else is fat!
