That’s amazing! I can only dream of that kind of gluttony. I’m half your weight and maybe managed 15k over the course of three days. Saturday and Sunday I was barely hungry but still tried to eat “normally” so I wouldn’t lose much progress. I can’t weight myself but clothes that fit comfortably two weeks ago are much tighter.
Thank you for sharing!
BigBallBellyGirl:
It sounds like you're making good progress! Clothes are an excellent indicator of how much you're gaining and how your weight is distributing.
I can say, even though I took a break for a couple of days after Thanksgiving was said and done, my giant stuffings stretched my stomach even more. I packed away about 20,000 calories yesterday without ever feeling uncomfortably stuffed. I'm going to have to be careful to begin tapering off when I get within 10 lb of my upper limit, which is 500. If I don't adjust, I can easily see scenario in which I kept blowing up and ended up with some unintended consequences.
Munchies:
I'd start tapering off around 30 to 20 pounds at the bare minimum. If you wait until you are within 10 pounds, you'll overshoot your upper limit.
Yes, I Definitely am very very mindful of the limitations I'm about to feel. I'm almost pinned behind the steering wheel in my car now, and if I moved my seat any further back, I would need pedal extenders. But the real problem is that I can barely get out of it. The 500 upper limit is a firm one. I definitely won't be doing anything like I did at Thanksgiving over the Christmas holiday. It was one of the hottest experiences of my life, and I have no regrets, but I also had two days of nausea, other digestive issues, sweating, and near immobility. I don't really think my body could handle it again.

So I’ve been using heavy cream to gain for a while and I just happen to really love the idea of eating straight fat.
So obviously I want to eat straight lard as a way of gaining.
Does anyone have an experience doing this?
I’m aware it’s extremely unhealthy but don’t really care so
Munchies:
Don't do this. This is an extremely stupid thing to do.
Setting aside the heart health stuff I know you don't care about, this will mess up your internals big time. Assuming you can even get it down in the first place, you'll have an upset stomach. And then there's the misery you'll put your intestines in.
This is also setting aside the increased risk of gallbladder issues, which can lead to you not being able to eat large amounts of fat without extreme pain.
Just fry things in lard like a normal person.
Ohhhh, I really don't recommend trying it straight. I know someone in this community who was with a feeder who forcefed her lard. She got sick the first time she tried to get it down, and he still wanted her to try again. She did, and had digestive upset for days. She ended up losing several pounds. (Fortunately, she also ditched the 🤡 who didn't mind risking making her sick twice.)

Mine is regular cheeseburgers with pickles, mayo, and mustard. My record so far is 19 in a sitting, with 2 milkshakes and a large soda.
I also enjoy fast food crawls, but I've gotten too big to comfortably do it on my own in a car. My partner has to drive me now, which is fine with me. Might be something to do tomorrow!

I am feeling suicidal right now. I have no access to therapy. It's dark out anyways and I have work in the morning.
I feel foolish for eating dinner. Because I don't deserve it. Since I can't go anywhere alone. I found a way to disappear. If only I had the guts. That is to starve myself.
I love to eat so it won't be easy. I probably won't succeed anyways. But well I now let my thoughts out. I assure some people will get mad at me but oh well. I've been scolded a lot of times for being mentally ill.
The Ultimate 1992:
But how can you be depressed and live in America, it's the place of dreams.
You know how many people in England want to see America but so many are too poor to travel there and the people who do are the talk of the town.
In 2006 I visited Florida for 2 weeks and it really was the best holiday ever, since then I have being pining to go back to see more states and get even fatter.
I hope your in a relationship with a good person right now because you need that when ill with mental health.
Munchies:
1. Go take a long walk off a short pier.
2. Not you out here being too stupid to understand how depression works.
3. You should go read a book or the newspaper on what living in America is actually like.
You are impressively dumb and heartless. "You can't be sad because I went on vacation once in your country and had a good time." That's like me saying to you "You can't have problems because you have free healthcare."
You make me sick. It's people like you that drive already depressed people to suicide.
THIS. ^^^^
Munchies said everything I came to say. The only thing I'll add for OP is, please don't let anyone make you feel WORSE for being brave enough to share your feelings. You reached out, and you happened to start with this platform. I applaud you, and I hope some of the resources already shared here are helpful. Depression is an illness, not a sign of ingratitude or a weakness. And saying, "I don't know how you could be depressed" is like saying "I can't imagine why you have cancer. You live in America." Ignore that ignorance.

I can't fully answer this question because I have never been average weight range, much less thin. However, I can tell you being fat, or in my case, obese, is a pretty pleasant life. I don't feel the pressure of keeping off three extra pounds during the holiday season. I don't feel judgment if I order a big meal, because it seems to be expected.
As far as the physical sensation, well ... I feel like ... me. At one point, I got under 200 lb, and I felt like I was in a stranger's body. I didn't feel like there was "enough" of me to be physically comfortable.
Do I experience hardships? Sure. I struggle in certain social settings, like restaurants. A booth is an absolute no, but I also want to be mindful of where I am positioned if I am sitting at a table. I don't want to block an aisle, and I don't want to break a chair. Air travel is a cost issue, since I do need two seats. All in all, do I mind it? No, because I am happy with my body.
Happy to answer any questions you may have.

I love the sensation of the water "lifting" my belly when I'm standing submerged to my chest in the poop.
Munchies:
And unfortunate typo.
HAHAHAHA! Yes, unfortunate indeed. I shall leave it just because it's hilarious.

My weight isn't even if half yours. But in my country (family etc.) I heard comment about my weight: most of about health and fit.
I have in my family cousine who's now about 450 lbs (most of life +/- 170) and rest of family called him black sheep.
Now I'm closing 200 and trying to resist new comments. But I'm ONLY 198 😣
For some people, comments are a turn-on, but everyone is different. If anyone, family included, makes comments that make you feel uncomfortable or disrespected, you always have the right to set your boundaries.
"I know you care about my health, but I'm not comfortable with comments about my body."
"I'm going to ask you to please refrain from commenting about my weight. Thanks in advance for understanding."
"I truly am thankful for your concern, but it hurts my feelings when you criticize my weight."
"I'm happy with myself as I am."
Your weight DOES NOT make you a "black sheep", and it never will, regardless of whether you decide to gain or lose. Ignore the critics and enjoy your journey!

I like this calculator recommended above. I knew I'd be at class VI (95th percentile), but it's still satisfying to see!
