Precisely, I don't typically go to great lengths to know how fattening what I'm eating is. But when it's right there in front of me, it enhances the thrill.

Quotes from Stephen King have long been among my favorites. Here's one I rediscovered recently.

"See the TURTLE, ain't he keen?
All things serve the f#*k!n Beam."
--Eddie Dean, The Waste Lands.

Borscht, I've never actually tried it but I do like the word.

Also Vichyssoise, which I've also never had but sounds delicious.

I only count calories when I'm stuffing. As in, if I have several boxes of snack cakes which I intend to eat I'll generally calculate up the exact magnitude of caloric deliciousness that I'm about to ingest. Otherwise I just eat what I feel like.

Congratulations on De-lurking, and welcome to the FantasyFeeder site proper.

From your description of your ideal body type I may be a bit heftier than you're interested in, but I will go on and say I wouldn't mind a little encouraging every now and then.

I've never had an actual encounter with a feeder, but it's something I want to do. Hopefully I'll get a chance soon, maybe once I get a job I'll be able to visit a few FFAs I've been talking up.

But yeah, most of my gaining is self-administered as it were.

Hmmm, I think they at least used to be there. Maybe they got left out in the last re-write of the Story's Section...

I believe that you can italicize words in a story the same way you can italicize words in a post. There's a row of buttons beneath the text box (b i u url mail img center quote)
