It should still be possible. Somewhat lower metabolism is one thing, though the biggest challenge seems to be actually eating. A little thing called work and other real life responsibilities can interfere with this. Hopefully your job makes it easy to snack, though I know not everyone is that fortunate.

I think the key is instead of focusing on stuffings all the time, to focus on small changes in habits to slowly increase the amount you eat and calories you consume. At least I tend to get burned out on stuffings and it seems a bit more like less pleasant work or an arduous chore. A 4K-5K+ calorie day doesn't help if the next day you end up eating almost nothing. But if you can consistently eat 500 more calories than you did before, every day? Progress may seem slow but it'll add up, and you should eventually be able to increase it from there after that, a week or two later.

From what I can tell, the most inexpensive and simple solution is a beer bong. They even include a valve switch which is important. The alternative is to go to the hardware store to try to construct one, but the retail cost of the parts will likely add up to more in the end. At least, if you order the beer bong from Amazon anyway, it's pretty low cost. It's what I seem to see the most often. Most of them advertise a capacity of 5 cans, which at 12 fl. oz would add up to 60 fl. oz. Don't know if there's extra buffer room for 64 fl. oz., or half a gallon.

I'm close to making a weird contraption that consists of a clothing rack (something you'd ordinarily hang clothes from if your closet lacks space), a beer bong, and wire frame hangers to mount the beer bong to the rack. Possibly also string or shoe laces to tie the hangers together. I haven't tested this yet however. It may be necessary to punch holes near the top of the funnel.

Then again, this is because I'm looking to self funnel, and I don't yet have the capacity so I need an easy way to support it without having to hold it up for a real long time.

Hopefully something in here is useful to you.

While something to think about, well.. I doubt it's really needed right away? I have the impression the web site owner, who I believe is also the only programmer, has a lot of his plate as it is. There is a fairly easy work-around however.

On Windows anyway, it's an option within MS Paint, at least since Windows 7, if not since Vista. It's one of the icons near the Select tool, where you'll see options to rotate clockwise 90º, counterclockwise 90º, 180º, flip horizontal, and flip vertical. Again on Windows, even in File Explorer, there should be an option to rotate even without fully opening MS Paint if you right-click on the file.

No idea about MacOS, but I'd be very surprised if there isn't something similar, or they'd make it hard to find.

Hopefully this helps in the near term.

First of all, welcome to FF. You've taken one of the first, more important steps. It means you're acknowledging possibilities.

I get the impression that you're going through a somewhat new experience for you, and perhaps you're unsure of what it means?

It can also take time, sometimes a very long time, to really come to terms to this. Looking at your profile, I'm glad you're figuring this out sooner in life rather than later. Some of the things I figured out for myself, I sometimes regret not figuring it out sooner. That said, to be clear there's no set timeline on this. It's best not to rush anything, and go at whatever pace seems the most comfortable for you.

I recommend exploring it more, maybe even experimenting a little bit if you're up for it. There's all sorts of no or low cost things you can try. Maybe see how you feel if you were to say, get a large pizza and then make a point of eating as many slices as possible. Whatever you do, you'll probably deal with a lot of internal conflict, or mixed feelings. It may take a lot of time and reflection to sift through all that, and figure out what you really want or need.

It may seem hard or seem weird sometimes (it's not), but don't give up.

The worst thing is if you dismiss it and live in constant state of denial, conflict, and confusion. If there really is something here, the sooner you come to terms with it, the better. But remember, there's no set timeline and it's best to proceed at whatever pace seems best for you, even if it takes years.

1. Up to a point. I still get full quicker than I'd like which is frustrating, so maybe not quite eating whatever I want. Though yes, I do like how I'm not concerned about maximum calorie count. If anything, I'm more likely to maximize/optimize for more calories.

If anything, I actually now strongly prefer food with more calories, or seek ways to add additional calories (more mayo or cheese on a sandwich, more sugar and cream in coffee, etc.). I don't even like the idea of a salad unless it has lots of Caesar dressing, chicken, cheese, and ideally bacon bits too. I also like Haagen-Daaz ice cream over most brands, since it seems to be richer, creamier, and around double the calories. Though there's a few other brands that fit a similar profile.

2. So far, maybe around 50-100% more. I have enjoyed this thoroughly. I only regret that I'm still possibly stuck at a plateau. It's possible I may be beginning to overcome it, but it's too early to be sure. Because well, I wish I could eat even more. I actually get sad when the feeling of hunger goes away too quickly. I want to be able to eat an entire large pizza in one sitting, or if at a restaurant, to have appetizers, two entrees, dessert, and finish everyone else's leftovers too.

I remember when it used to be where at a restaurant, it's possible, even likely that if I order an entree (no appetizers or dessert), unless the portion sizes are small, there's a good chance I'd have to take home leftovers. I want to get to the point where I need appetizers, two entrees, dessert, and I then ask others at the table "Are you going to finish that?" If they say no, to perhaps eat that too.

How did you attach the tube to the empty soda bottle? Suppose you got the tubing and valve from a hardware store?

I have wondered what may be the most economical way to mount a funnel above one's head for solo use.

The easiest way to get a funnel, tube, and valve would be to get a beer bong; and most are pretty low cost. However, no easy way to mount it, since it's assumed you'd hold it above your head or someone else will. But this will get annoying fast, like within 15-30 minutes, if you can't swallow it all, fairly quickly. That and well, I'd think it'd be nicer to have your hands free if it takes longer than you expect.

There is a product called Bongzilla that comes with 6 tubes, and is pole mounted, and you can remove 5 of the tubes. But it seems expensive for what it is.

I've seen door frame mounts that could possibly be adapted, but not everyone has their desk or couch near the door. There's possibly making wooden frames but, you better have a plan and it might not be that cheap nowadays, with lumber pricing through the roof.

I thought about those mounts for various chemistry beakers and tubes, but I don't know if the base would be heavy enough to feel secure, and these aren't always the cheapest thing either.

Maybe this should be it's own thread, I don't know.

It's not something I've heard of before, but to be absolutely fair, this is anecdotal evidence and observation.

While I have been in the online feederism community for a long time, I haven't explored the gay focused side of things, so who knows? If you're hoping for an all female audience, I think you'll be sorely disappointed.

On the straight side, the few examples I've seen that come even close, have usually been the case of couples. I highly doubt this is the result of an underserved market. More likely many have likely tried (start up time and costs should be pretty low), then gave up when nothing came of it.

Also, without getting too much into graphic detail, there's also a question as to whether you have the right personality for it. Most folks probably don't.

You'd likely have a better shot at trying to ultimately transition into a job where you can telecommute full-time, and can be performed entirely on a computer. Whatever job this may be, I wouldn't know. Depends on what you're at least somewhat good at.

I'm sorry if this sounds discouraging, but it seems like a more realistic assessment.

I can't prove it, but it's quite possible and I think they might have been.

Typically, I don't assume all size contrast couples are into this. While far from the norm, they're common enough you can't assume anything. I will say that in my area, small male/large female seems to be very uncommon. Most of the contrast couples I do see, it's large male/small female. This is likely the result of an old social double standard that's slowly breaking down - Where the man can be any size and even very fat, but women better be slim, trim, and fit.

Still, if you want a fat woman, it's much, much easier if you are fat.

So one day, I was at a bar. The food there is a joke, and I don't remember seeing anyone there actually eating any. But I've never been there before 10PM so who knows? But at some point, as it's not atypical, sometimes you do see couples there.

At first I didn't pay that much mind, since it seems like 90%+ of the customers and employees are all overweight or obese. But, I guess I got into a random conversation with this couple, and at a bar well you know.. the conversation could be able damn near anything. Somehow, the topic of food came up.

I had the feeling this couple might have been at least somewhat obsessed over food. I also noticed that the woman was somewhat curvy (not bone skinny, you could definitely pinch at least an inch), but her boyfriend.. he was huge. Quite a size contrast.

They also suggested that maybe I should try some seafood restaurant. And I think she said it in sort of a way that kind of implied that maybe she thinks I need to eat more. Of course, none of this proves anything, but it left me wondering.


Awhile later, I thought that perhaps I might have caught up with the boyfriend by chance on Whisper, who said something about feederism. If you aren't familiar with Whisper, it's a mobile app that's a bit of a toxic cesspool a bit like PostSecret, but on rare occasions you might find a decent users who's a diamond in the rough. At some point I asked if he's ever been to that bar. He says yes. But when I commented that I might have actually met them before, I guess he got cold feet, because then I never heard anything again. Still, kind of makes me wonder. Never did get to find out and get a satisfying conclusion.
