It's not just an autism thing. I know a lot of people - of all races - who are like this and not on the spectrum. People are people, but it's impossible to ignore race. One might argue this is the most usual approach to this situation.

Race is a social construct. Some people interpret this as race being fake or not real. Neither of these things are true. Race is real. It's not bad. It's a neutral thing like gender or nationality. To deny its existence is as silly as denying people come in different shapes and sizes.

Yes, it impacts daily living. Yes, you can see it. But it's one of many elements that make up a person.

I'm a WOC with a thick white boy.

I love him. I love his thickness. We are indifferent about each other's race. You know as it should be. To me, he is a man who happens to be white. My feelings for him wouldn't change if he were of another race.

He understands that I go through things that he can never understand. But he is supportive and listens to me when I talk about my struggles.

We aren't the "I don't see race" type of people. We do. Instead, we see our personhood first and our races second.

I am curious as to what sparked this question. Mixed-race couples have always been a thing. Yes, some decades ago, it would have been illegal. But it's no longer taboo. If anything, it's become mundane.

If you eat a lot of fast food, try not to live off it. Don't make fast food the bulk of your nutrition if you can help it.

If you aren't doing it already, take a daily multivitamin. It will help supplement the gaps in your nutritional intake.

Even though you are eating fast food, try to be healthy. What I mean is don't mostly eat burgers and fries. Wendy's has some semi-healthy options. Make sure you eat those too.

Drink more water than you do soda. Yes, soda is good for gains, but it will sap your energy in the long run. Plus, drinking lots of water will help flush out the excess salt you will be eating.

And lastly, try to be somewhat active. You don't have to act like you are training for a marathon. But regular walks and strength training helps. Don't forget to stretch to maintain some level of flexibility.

Unrelated, but make sure you have some quality shoes since you'll be on your feet a lot. Suitable footwear is imperative no matter you size, but it becomes more so when you get heavier.

This was me towards the end of my gaining journey.

If you are looking for an in-person connection, it's a helpful feature.

If you are a stalking victim, like me, it can be kinda scary.

That being said, I protect myself by putting a fake location and not revealing too much about myself or my location.

Boredom from lockdown is def part of it. But there's also the stress eating part of it as well.

Well, this was a fine way of being told I'm weird. I never use the same leg to kick things. It's all about which is the more convenient leg.

Anyway, you should stand with your feet shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent. And as another user mentioned, you do need to get proper shoes for your feet. Everyone's feet are different with different needs. Something to look into.

Lastly, if you are eating healthfully, exercising, and still have pain, you really do need to see a doctor. They can better assist you than any internet stranger can - even the ones with a medical degree.

Maybe maintaining a lower weight will help. Maybe it won't. Either way, you'll need to make a choice about what you want. We all know that heavier weights can cause joint damage. You can mitigate it, but the higher you go, the harder it is to avoid.

Burying your head in the sand will not protect you from reality.

Those are super hot. I also love it when the gut's grown so much it hangs.

My feedee has one of these and it turns me on so much. Even more when he's full to the brim after an all day stuffing and can't move.

I like to tease him and say he's got an overdue food baby while he's panting on the couch.

*Glances at my feedee*

Nah, I think it's the stress eating. World's on fire. People eat as a coping mechanism. COVID lbs are no joke.

It do be a good look, tho.
