Struggling to motivate self to eat

MarshmallowMinotaur:
I’m facing the same challenge … eating enough to be gaining. I do love food but there are times I just don’t, can’t, or want to eat.

I make FatBoy Shakes: 1 cup whole milk, a Boost Plus, 1/2 cup heavy cream, a scoop of whey protein for almost 1,100 calories. I can add ice cream, pb, banana for more calories.

I work in a very busy supermarket deli, so I get to graze on the slicers for what we overcut … cheeses, salami, ham, turkey, etc. The cheeses and salami are the most caloric. I also have a couple of donuts or pastries from our bakery, or mac ‘n cheese and mashed potatoes on my breaks. I put butter in my coffee and eat plain butter with honey or orange marmalade. This constant snacking and grazing is finally making me gain faster.

Like someone else said, keep high calorie snacks handy.


The Fatboy shakes might be helpful to people who have a healthy appetite. Unfortunately, they would not work for him. The ingredients are high calorie, but they are also filling. Ironically, he's more likely to eat less with such shakes than more.

The challenge isn't getting him to eat a boatload of calories. The challenge is getting him to eat the daily recommended amount of calories. Once that's been conquered, he can try the other stuff.

The Mass Effect original trilogy is what I keep going back to. ME1 is my fav out of the three. I really want to play Baldur's Gate 3.

Itch.io has a bunch of indie WG games of various flavours. Decent place to check out.


DeviantArt has a collection of weight gain games too. Some are cross-posted on Itch.io.

If you are in America, depressed, and feeling suicidal, these organizations are far more helpful than anything an internet stranger can provide for you.

Struggling to motivate self to eat

CB2004:
I’ve been trying to gain for a few years now, and every-time I begin to get into it i get distracted or end up loosing my motivation to eat.

Im looking for any advice on how to make food more desirable when it’s not really something i get joy from.

I know I want to get much much bigger it’s just been a struggle and i’d appreciate any feedback.



Always have snacks on hand. Get the good stuff, and get a variety of options. It's fun, it stimulates the brain (assuming you have ADHD or are neuro-divergent), and it's easier to eat a bunch of treats than it is to stuff yourself.

Ever wish you weren’t a fa?

Enas:
Im afraid to say that people don't know what they want.
They need to do a lot of thinking in order to figure this out. Otherwise what they dream is just a reflection of what the world tells them to desire.
It's better if you have somebody to help you in that thinking process tho! smiley

Munchies:
She knows what she wants. It's just she wants two different things. She wants to lose weight, but she also wants the comfort of not watching her weight.

It's extremely common.

Enas:
Bad communication from my end i guess, i was talking about the OP, Also im trying to think but i cant understand, what is the second thing his girlfriend wants, apart from wanting herself to loose weight?


There are two things going on with OP. He thinks his wife is sexy, but she doesn't see herself that way. She doesn't like how she looks, and he he wishes he wasn't an FA as if being on stands in her way of her ideal body shape.

Honestly, it doesn't. Assuming OP isn't doing creepy toxic stuff to make discourage her from gaining weight. But he hasn't said anything to suggest that.

As for the girlfriend, I plainly stated what she wanted. Idk how to make it plainer.

How long until my appetite starts to grow?

Have you sought medical attention for this?

Amijustcurious:
Yes. We've ruled out anything serious, but haven't been able to find any particular cause


That's good. But I'd still bring up these options with your doctor. Fetish aside, you might find it helpful.

That said, what does a normal day of eating look like for you. That way we can see if there are small things you can tweak.

Everyone's losing weight

52Percent:
Everyone’s losing weight huh? Yeah I’ve been noticing that a lot too. Buckle up everyone, we’re about to witness the beginning of the end of an era. smiley

JN_TumLover56:
That is quite a bit excessive, but at the same time I can understand where you are coming from.

Munchies:
This is whole thread is a huge nothing burger. Fat people are going nowhere.

Now, there's a conversation to be had about fat positivity and such. But the fight against fatphobia is different from the unfounded fear that fat people will stop existing.

JN_TumLover56:
I hope you are right about this! Even if you and I don’t like each other, your opinion in this thread does make things sound more hopeful?? I’m not sure what the best word for it, but I do appreciate it (for me personally).


I feel neutral about you. I wasn't aware you had an opinion about me.
