I don't know about "power" in my case, but I definitely feel more confident. At 5'3", I'm usually the fattest (roundest) person in most rooms at 300; At 400, I overflow most chairs and have the biggest belly most people will see. And I like that. I like that I'm not easily jostled around or squeezed into a corner. I don't need to be dominant, but I also like not being invisible.

I figured it would be fun to share our gluttonous escapades here.
Just write out what you ate, approx calories, and a scale 1-10 how stuffed you are/were. Higher End the Better!
BigBallBellyGirl:
I had a really fun stuffing session last night that included:
At a restaurant at dinner;
- 2 mushroom Swiss double cheeseburgers - 1,700 calories
- Fries - 475 calories
- Queso + 6 soft tortillas - 1120 calories
- 2 Peach Margaritas - 510 calories
At home:
- A hamburger pizza flat bread - 1100 calories
- 2 Mountain Dews - 320 calories
- Pint of butter pecan ice cream - 1200 calories
- About 20 Doritos with ranch dip - 600 calories
- Bowl of chili with cheese, sour cream and Cheetos - 600 calories
- High calorie Ensure - 530 calories
Weigh in before- 394.8 lb
Weigh in after - 398.1 lb
Weigh in morning after - 396.0

Great result! Too bad you didn't reach 10.000 calories only that evening! Ever tried to do 20.000 in a day?
BigBallBellyGirl:
I feel like I've probably achieved it and just didn't realize it. Usually, if I'm being stuffed all day, I end up losing track and just eating mindlessly to stay full. I also often end up eating things like casseroles, pasta, etc. I could really only estimate for. Odds are though, I've probably gotten there more than a few times!
Kunto:
That is really amazing!!! So next goal is a food marathon of 24 hours continuesly eating?
I've never made it to 24 hours because, well, fatty gotta sleep. But I have had many days where I've eaten something every hour from say 8am through 3pm, taken a two hour nap, and then eaten something every hour from 5pm through 11pm. It's possible to get a belly pretty big stuffing like that.

I have a VERY large tummy, and I'm still okay in my 2020 Camry. I just need to open the door all the way to get in and out, so I'm cautious about how I park.

I'm from a thin family with healthy eating habits, but I was always chubby and have been fascinated by fat people since before kindergarten. My mother lived off salad and soup. I wanted pizza, burgers, bread, sweets, and I would get my fill anytime I was with my grandparents or at a school event. Because I was the heaviest girl in school from the time I was in first grade, I never developed the aversion to fat society wants us to have. I became significantly overweight in elementary school, and I didn't consider it a problem even though my parents and teachers did. By fourth grade, I couldn't squeeze into a regular desk and had a special spot at a crafts table. That was fine with me. Despite my mother's best efforts, I first hit 300 lb in high school, and the only time I've ever felt a desire to lose it was under pressure from my doctor a few years ago. When my weight dropped below 200 lb for the first time in years, I felt like a stranger in my own body. I didn't enjoy having less fat to touch, and I certainly didn't enjoy eating less. Now I'm bigger than ever.. definitely clinically morbidly obese... and I really can't imagine having it any other way ever again.

The last time we flew, my wife was too big to buckle her own seatbelt and the staff had to squeeze between her belly rolls and stuff her in.
She's a practical gal, so she told me she'd definitely need a seatbelt extender next time around. Always thinking ahead!
Yep! There are solutions for everything!

My wife gets this a lot.
She's 99.9+% percentile for women's BMI in the country, but has really good heart and cardio health, so doctors don't know what to do with her. She's had doctors get shocked at her heart health and then break professional protocol and say "BUT WHY ARE YOU SO FAT?!" Or recommend gastric bypass surgery with no real reason.
It's a good thing she's a tough gal who knows she's fat and is quite confident about it. Knows how to stand up to pressure.
I'm realistic enough to know there will be health consequences for my size and eating habits, but so far, other than high blood pressure and cholesterol, I'm in fairly decent health. But my prior doctor was adamant that I "deserved a better life'. She would say things like, "You'll be able to do outdoor activities... walk, hike, bicycle." Of course, I never did those things! And now I'm fatter than I was previously.

I fantasize about it, for sure. I have since I was a kid. I do want to remain mobile enough to leave the house though, and to walk around inside my house. So alas, for the foreseeable future, it will just have to remain fantasy.

A few years ago, I lost about 170 pounds because a doctor convinced me I'd feel better and have a better quality of life if I did. Since then, I've regained it all and then some, but I think the reason I was willing to lose in the first place was, the doctor wasn't abrasive about it.
When I was a fat teenager though, the doctor literally referred to my obesity as 'blubber'. I rebelled and got even fatter. This wasn't 50 years ago, either. It was about 15 years ago, at a time when a medical professional should have known better and been aware of the psychological damage a comment like that can inflict on a 14-year old girl. Bonus: the doctor was fat too, but he referred to himself as "just a big guy".
