Well, having a fair sized meal every two hours wont make you feel so stuffed, but it is amazing how bloated you quickly become and how the pounds accumulate

For what it is worth, I'd say you are totally normal. In the sense that lots of people have a some sort of uncommon turn on. So long as it doesn't stop you from also enjoying sex on its own, then I think it is more of a turn-on or preference than an actual fetish. If you have to be desperately thinking about jiggling bellies to get turned on, even when your husband is doing his best to excite you, then ok, maybe it is a fetish.

Either way, I agree that it is great to have places like this where you can unload there feelings and be around people who understand. Thank goodness for the internet!

Oh, about belly shape, I don't think that you can do a lot, but if you tone your stomach muscles that _might_ make your belly a little less saggy, just by giving it a firmer foundation. (I've noticed this with my wife's arms, got less jiggly when she had a job with lots of light arm use, got more jiggly when she went to a desk job, even at the same approximate weight and size)

I'd say fast for a non-feedee (using feedee as in 'turned on by the gain&apos. I mean, consider: that rate would be almost forty pounds a year. Imagine if he kept that up for just three years?

I'm sure you know people you haven't met in three years, if you saw them and they were over a 100 pounds heavier, it would probably seem pretty quick to you!

You know the standard stretching position where you have one leg straight in front of you, the other bent, and you bring your chest as close to your knee as you can?

That How far can you actually reach as you do the stretch, how much your growing belly is squeezed, etc. I think it would be pretty cool.

Whether or not I have lost, my standard answer is "Nah, fat as ever." With a smirk.

People usually mean it as a compliment, and I just don't want to encourage them in that vein, lol.

When pregnant, my wife used a 'body Pillow's that she could adjust to give her extra support where needed. Pretty common suggestion for pregnancy from what I've seen. Maybe one could help you?

And I'm with you on no back sleeping.



Love that!

I feel pretty similar to this ^^^^^ for my FA side. As a gainer (at least in spirit, if not practice), anything which helps create a fat friendlier environment is kind of hot. Other people getting fat, reading about public transit making seating bigger because people are on average fatter, going to food festivals (ribfest, poutinefest, etc), seeing people fatter than me eating in the same restaurant, and so on.

But I will say I think it is good to have this sort of feeling out where you are conscious of it, and can monitor if it is trying to influence your behavior. Lots of classes read Charlotte's Web, but if you know you like certain fat/foodscenes in it, for example, you can think about how you should handle those scenes, or if for you a different story would be better, etc.

I second stretching -- especially if you spend a lot of time sitting. Personally I find that leg stretches get the tension out of my back and shoulders too. I'm not doing anything as fancy as yoga, just a few basic stretches that work for me.

Walk or bike

Be around some greenery (goes well with the previous)

Try to have a little unscheduled time, for whatever comes up or appeals.

Write some things down that are bugging you ... then delete it. Just the act of writing stuff down can help our minds from circling on something.

Hope these help.

Probably depends a lot on your definition of feederism.

I don't know mucb about hypothyroidism, but the other two _might_ clear up with healthier food choices and more regular exercise. Might. And note that while healthier food choices and more regular exercise can be a weight loss plan, it doesn't have to be. Although to be safe, I'd look at losing some weight while working to improve your numbers, then be very careful and is a out any regaining, seeing how your body does.
