I notice that I eat even though I'm not hungry.. I'm not addicted to food yet but I'm trying to become one.. do you have any tips

Munchies:
As a general statement, it's not wish to seek out any addiction. There's a difference between enjoying your food and eating a lot versus having an eating/food addiction. An addiction will ruin your life and suck all the fun out of things.

Mooidik:
thank you for your explanation!..I just want to eat to get fat… although I notice that I have to eat more and more of myself

Munchies:
Don't do it daily. If you do it daily, you'll drive yourself insane. Measure yourself at least once a week.

Lynne841:
It can drive you insane, I've done it both ways. Have gone months without a clue and been a 'tad' obsessive... Actually a few years ago I had fun tracking my weight 3x a day almost everyday for better part of a year. Still got weight logs on an old phone.

It's interesting to look back and see how the numbers ebb and flo over the course of each month. Those binge days where I'd put on 8 pounds by evening entry loose 5 by morning and another 3 in days following even as I gained an average of 4 or so a day only to be back at same weight each morning. Then over next week or so, after another binge night or a couple good 6 pound days the morning numbers slowly rise a few pounds by end of month.

I haven't done this in a long time but want to be more diligent about using measuring tape on monthly basis. I regret not tracking actual inches better over the years, but takes more time than hopping on scale quick.
While it could be fun Munchies has a point, frustrating and discouraging at times when those numbers just won't climb or drop.

Wannagain74:
How often does one check the scales to measure gaining? Check weekly, monthly or daily. Or does one go for a month or so, and wait for the numbers to make a big jump up, when you been packing it on?

NoMoYoYo:
I'll admit I haven't done much exercise at all since starting this gain. I go on short walks and took my kids swimming twice but thats about it. I haven't touched a weight or other strength training since the beginning of July.

Munchies:
I would get back into it. Depending on how you go about things, you won't lose weight by exercising. If anything, it will allow you to be more comfortable as you gain weight.

NoMoYoYo:
As I've mentioned in other topics, I love how soft this gain has been. I want to gain even more softness. In my belly, in my chest. I want to be squishy and jiggly. Could strength training affect that?

Charly1110:
Lately my husband is eating more and I love it. He was alwasy very skinny, but now a little bit of fat is forming around his waist. He doesn't mind at all. Sometimes I squeeze his belly and then he gets horny..
But I am still afraid to tell him I would like him a little bit bigger. Should I tell him, or just secretely feed him bigger meals? I don't want to scare him with this.

So I saw this, and the most recent experience at the doctor's office resurfaced. My boyfriend and I usually go see our doctor together, but in this occasion, our medical provider was out of office due to a family grievance. So unbeknownst to us, we would see a different doctor in their stead.

To give some context before I go on, my boyfriend and I are 32 and autistic, while he also has generalized anxiety disorder. He also has his RN license but has been having issues getting a job. On top of that, he has been prescribed specific pain meds for his back, legs and feet since he was 14. As for me, being the bigger guy, I've been labeled as a diabetic (type 2) for about a year.

To make the story TLDR; the new FNP we saw said the following to my boyfriend:

"You're not supposed to take this pain medication, it's for cancer patients only."

"There's no reason for you to take this medication unless you're doing it for "funsies""

(This is regarding to the medication he was prescribed to help with his pain since he was 14)

"You need to stop going back to what I just said and focus what I'm saying now. You're starting to get on my nerves."

(My boyfriend was having a massive panic attack in front of the new FNP as they basically said they were gonna change/remove the medicine that helps him function)

"It doesn't matter if you got your RN license, you're still a nurse graduate."

(When he told them that he was also a RN (Registered Nurse))

And when it got too intense for him to even talk, the FNP told him to leave, leaving him in the dark in terms of his medication.

--- --- ---

As for me, what they did was not in the doctors office but when I got my prescriptions.

On the day we pick up our meds, the pharmacist was even concerned and hesitant to give me the new medication the FNP prescribed me, because it was for people that had a blood sugar count over 500/600+. Hearing those numbers scared me, because the highest my blood sugar has ever gotten was 175, but NEVER has it gotten to those numbers.

Both the pharmacist and my boyfriend agreed that I shouldn't take this medication, because the excess insulin the FNP was expecting me to take ON TOP of the other diabetic meds I already take (which is really only Metformin, and Baselgar should my blood sugar get too high) would probably kill me.

So this FNP basically assumed I was a type 1 diabetic when I'm type 2.

Suffice to say, we both felt violated by this FNP's actions and words. Plus they were a fill in for our normal provider, there was no need for them to make such drastic changes. I'm just hoping when we see our regular provider on our next appointment that they will fix what was changed.

ForeverFFA:
Very true, and while specific dietary choices play a role, I think each individual person needs to evaluate their unique risks when it comes to gaining. Some people simply are healthier at higher weights than others (and vice versa). Maybe this sounds too preachy, but I really hope that intentional weight gain is not a decision that anyone is taking lightly. At the same time, it makes me angry to hear how dehumanizing doctors can be about this stuff.

Munchies:
It's awful. Few things make me quite as mad as medical bigotry. A fatphobic doctor is often a lazy doctor. Any ailment their patient as is usually blamed on their fatness. This often leads to them overlooking other issues their patient might have.

I remember last winter, my partner had a severe headache. Lasted for several days. His doctor blamed his weight as he was pushing 500 lbs at the time.

Both my partner and I knew that was a load of crap, so he got a second opinion. Turns out that he needed a root canal.

LuvsChub04:
didn't his tooth hurt tho?

Morbidly A Beast:
I’ve gotten extremely lucky from the sounds of it the most I got was concern for my weight but I was otherwise healthy in all my tests. Probably helps that I remain very active like more than you’d expect for someone my weight for my job, and I have only been to the doctor a handful of times had I been seeing that doctor since I was young I’m sure I would have gotten a earful.

It’s sucks that there’s doctors perfectly willing to put their patients at risk just because of their bias.
