What a way to end a year to a bigger and better 2023 she could help to make you eat and get bigger for 2023

DoomBot:
I recently started having issues with what I’m seeing in the mirror. Over the past five years I’ve put on about 60lbs and I’m to the point where my clothes can’t hide my gain any longer. Or maybe a better statement is that my clothing style no longer matches my physique? My closet is full of fitted shirts and slim fit button downs because I’ve never been a fan of shapeless shirts that hang off your body. Now I’m struggling to come to terms with shirts clinging to my bloated love handles, budding moobs, and growing gut.

I suppose it’s easy to chalk this newfound insecurity with the way clothes look on me as commonplace on my journey to obesity. But I’ve had over a decade to learn how to cultivate my style as a 200lb man and I’m unsure how to adapt with my ever changing figure at 260+.

I guess I’m asking for recommendations for plus size male fashion? Does that exist? Lol

Sorry if I ramble, I’m still trying to flesh out and organize my thoughts on this issue. I certainly appreciate any advice I receive. Thanks for reading.

Update:

A few days ago, we talked about it, and she actually wanted to talk about too

As it turns out, she noticed the same thing I did, and we came to an understanding. She decided on a small challenge instead, she'll try to 'woo' me and apparently, in exchange, I can try to *convince her to gain a little. I'm not going to complain honestly, she seems to be having fun, at least for now

I took me a few days, and several more questions to process it, but I guess she's ok with it, at least that's what she reassured me several times

On a related note, does anyone know how to introduce someone to this without throwing them into the **deep end? Thanks

*She noticed how similar this was to a different event we went through, and thinks she was more insensitive than me ***from a few months ago, so yeah

**I would consider this site a bit more than the shallow end, so I don't think this should be the first thing

***Just look at my other post in general, 'I need some advice i guess'

Just another opportunity to intervene medically and have the state foot the bill.

The battle between the body acceptance people and those who say it should be altered will be epic.

What if Obese becomes and identity, a protected characteristic. They say that deaf people are very proud of their deaf identity having learned sign language and ways of living well as a deaf person. I read a New Scientist article about this. The last thing they want is someone curing them of their identity.

Once someone has incorporated corpulence into their person then it's a direct attack on them to offer to resolve that problem.

Heck it's a direct attack on them if they're still struggling with the fact that they are fat and the mixed messages they are getting about it.

For feedees who are on the larger end of the spectrum (roughly 370 lbs or up) or feeders with a prized pig what was your story on how you fattened up or fattened your feedee up

(Also tell me your weight or the weight of your feedee before you start typing so I don't have to go through like a bunch of people to figure out their weight)

Hey, just wondering if people have an opinion on what the best way to build engagement with your stories is — post a long, multi chapter story in a single batch, or space it out over a longer period of time.

The one I’m working on now is about 60,000 words, so approaching novel length. I’ve been posting 4 or 5 chapters a week, trying to stop on cliffhangers or interesting places, but that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick.

I’m not finished with it, I probably have another 10-20,000 words to write, but I wouldn’t be opposed to releasing a big chunk if that got people interested.

Also open to the possibility that my story is just not engaging 😅

Sooo, I need to know if it's wrong what I'm doing. Long story short: my bf gained some more weight during holidays (just as everyone else I guess) and he got to the point when some of his clothes got really tight. So I bought him as a Christmas gift some clothes a bigger size. At first he was surprised when he saw the size, but they fit well and after the holidays he uses those clothes the most. Also, I saw his belt from his work uniform got uncomfortably tight so I loosen it up a bit (it isn't the usual kind if belt which you choose how tight it will be every time you put it on, this one is like a tactical belt so you choose how tight you want it and then you just put it on at the same size until you decide to modify it). I did this only because he stays like 12hrs at work and I didn't want him to feel so uncomfortable.

Is it ok to do this kind of things for his own comfort? I don't do it to make him think he didn't gain or something (I saw this kind of thinking somwhere on this site), he knows his weight very well since he steps on the scale almost every day. Also, I agreed when he told me he got fatter (well, I also added he got sexier and that his belly turns me on and since then he ate even more).

I can't help but wonder if there will come a day when fat people are forced to take such drugs.

What kind of dystopian novels have you been reading lately? We don't do that for any other medical condition. So why would we do this for obesity?

There are so many amazing medications variety of things. However, we do not force people to take these medications as a blanket thing to do. Why? Because it would be unwise.

Often, whatever medical condition a person has can be resolved with lifestyle changes. However, if that doesn't work, then the doctor may supplement other things as well. Sometimes, it's medication. Sometimes it's something else. However, since not all patients are created equally, they may not be candidates for specific treatments for a variety of reasons. Adding to that, you can refuse the treatment.

This doesn't even consider the economic, legal, and ethical reasons why no one is going to force every fat person to take medication and lose weight. Yet, Y'all are worrying over nothing.

Over the past two years, people have been fired and so on for refusing to take Covid vaccine. I myself took it, but there you go -- people being forced to take a particular drug.

Munchies:
Are you comparing obesity to a global pandemic? Because that's what that sounds like.

Nofbar:
I'm not comparing anything. I just pointed out a drug people have been forced to take. Obesity is often hyped as a global pandemic. I'm afraid of busybodies making sloppy comparisons with epidemics and forcing weight loss on people. You've most certainly heard the proposals now and then to do that. I've known several people who were told to lose weight or be fired. Some took phen-fen because no other measure worked. So there's being forced, but not so publicly visible.
