Mental health break

GrowingLoveHandles:
I’m going on an annual mental health break.

During Lent, no FantasyFeeder, Feabie, Facebook, news sites, YouTube, etc. I’m going to spend time writing, role playing retro style online, actually sending letters and postcards via snail mail, meditating and planting my garden. Maybe I’ll even get around to finishing some of my long-incomplete stories here (All you many Kandy story fans, don’t give up on me. I’m not good at promises. But I’ll try to finish.).

Just trying to slow my manic brain a bit. If I don’t, I’m going to doomscroll and fetishscroll to deAth.

I’ll be back April. In the meantime, what do you do, if anything, to keep from losing your mind in these online sites?

Or am I the only one?

I connect with loved ones and do hobbies.

I'm usually only on FF for brief spurts of time during the day.

What is your struggle food?

SumoSized:
Strawberry mochi, I can devour those things boxes at a time

Munchies:
Strawberry mochi as a struggle meal? Damn

Where I live, any kind of mochi is a treat because that shit is expensive

SumoSized:
Over here it's like $5 a box so it's not the cheapest snack ever, but sometimes on weekends I'll treat myself too it


Ah, so that's a sweet treat thing, not a struggle meal.

What's your struggle meal?

My outie belly button

HappyBigBelly:
It really depends on the person.

When I slowly grew a ball belly over the course of the last 15-20 years, my “innie” simply got a little deeper.

My wife was already big gal when we met, but I can say her innie has become almost an outie. Getting even heavier the past 10 years has pushed hers out more.


Visceral fat makes your navel stick out. Subcutaneous fat makes it sink in.

In awe of our own before and after pics

HappyBigBelly:
Like most encouragers here, I love seeing people’s pics from before they got fat, and then admiring their progress. I have to say I’m in awe of mine and my wife’s gain through the years.

I was quite the skinny guy until my 30s and had no belly at all. My ball belly grew during that time to what it is today. I’m in amazement how it’s gone from visible ribs to a big ball of visceral fat :-)

My wife was quite petite when she was a preteen. Then genetics and her first two pregnancies came and her weight blew up immensely. She’s always loved showing off her shoulders, even way back when. One pic has her wearing a strapless halter with these cute little bony shoulders back then. Literally gained about 150 pounds by the time she was 22 and went from just having large breasts to having a humongous belly and soft, luscious arms and legs :-) Neither of us looks like the same person in our befores and afters :-)

Anyone else look someone completely different in their afters?

Zowee:
I can definitely say that I do in many ways, like my face was very sleek and now I have chubby cheeks and a double chin. It’s obvious I put on a ton.


It suites you!

Necroposting question

Morbidly A Beast:
It’s not to say that they are a bot or are an ai but they are using tools that scan the site


Oh yeah, that is definitely happening to some degree. But I'm not convinced this is what is happening here unless you mean they are scanning the site to look for relevant topics to post about.

Sometimes, the replies are very low-effort. But other times, I can tell a lot of thought went into what they posted.

Necroposting question

Morbidly A Beast:
I think the necro posting is a result of AI or Bots


Nah, because some of those people I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are real people.

I'm not saying that there aren't bots that do something, but I've encountered comparatively few bots in my years on this site. Most of the weird shit that happens involves an actual person behind the computer.
