I'm an FA/feeder who is now also gaining weight. I think it's safe to say that I'm now also a gainer and feedee.

This was driven both by scientific curiosity through a desire to learn about what kind of diet is most effective at fattening. I also wanted the experience of being on the other end. Gainers seem to have fun, so I wanted to see what that's about, as well of course as wanting to develop fattening recipes and diet that's actually palatable.

While there's fantasies and stories that feature drinking straight cream or even lard, that doesn't sound very tasty, and lard sounds very disgusting. However, I'm starting to ramble.

Right now, I still have to push myself. While it's true that I both crave more food overall, and more fatty, calorie dense food than before, I still feel like it's an effort to overeat on purpose. I often count calories in order to ensure I stay on track. I do suspect that if a woman was so inclined, she could coax me into eating more.

I wonder at what point my appetite will increase to the point where I would transition to letting go. Where it will take a significant effort to eat less for weight loss. I expect this point would take place before the point of no return, the part where you'll likely remain overweight or even obese for the rest of your life.

You are not yet strong with the obesity force!

Your training is not yet complete!

Apparently Kik is *not* going to be shutting down for the foreseeable near future.

The new owners do plan to eventually add some advertisements but I believe they will be small sidebars, not popups.

It has been a few weeks. I wonder how it ended. I hope the OP may see this request.

The 3 week/month old reply was a bit of a necropost. But you know, some of these may be fun ideas.

An idea I've had is more simple.. in a relationship, have gaining contests that last for a couple weeks, or a month. The winner is the one who gains the most, and earns the right to control the loser's diet to make the loser gain for a similar time period as the gaining contest. After the feeding period ends, time for another gaining contest.

In theory, this should mean neither is left behind, since hopefully the loser will have enough of an appetite to be the winner for the next round.

But this is fantasy and not really practical since this would likely lead to a very rapid gain for both parties. It also doesn't have any disincentive for someone to lose a gaining contest on purpose. I haven't really thought this out too well.

I'm not sure what you mean by "university study?" There's research studies, and then there's university programs where one could get a Bachelor's degree or even a Master's.

But you're right, most reasonably well paying jobs that require little physical effort typically require a university education. Manual labor jobs in general are going away. There should still be some office jobs that don't require a degree but those are also slowly going away, it seems. Yet little movement has been made to adjust the high school curriculum.

There's also a strong argument to increase welfare benefits as the ROI on the economy is so high it's not even funny. The ultra poor when given money, will typically spend it, with a positive effect on the economy as more spending is good, with a ripple effect.

Some fear that expanding this would lead more to give up on work but such fears are mostly unfounded. It's extremely uncommon for anyone to not want to be self sufficient, and the payment sizes would still be a joke anyway, ensuring no one willingly wants that. But it would make a positive difference for anyone that such an individual would live with, as the payments could help offset additional household expenses.

Still, sounds like you had fun! So, I would argue it wasn't a complete loss.

For only a week, that actually seems impressive. 1 lb a day is actually pretty fast! Even 1 lb a week would be 52 lbs in a year.

Some also report residual effects. As in, the expanded appetite wants to be satisfied, so you eat larger meals and more dessert for awhile afterwards, which causes even more weight gain.

It's true there's the soda and Mentos experiments (there's many on YouTube) with varying degrees of volume based on the soda used (Sprite, Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, etc.). Haven't seen any experiments to compare the Mentos flavor used.

However, I've read that when you eat Mentos, the coating on the outside wears and burns off before it enters your stomach, which makes sense. But, it's the ingredients that consist of that coating that causes this reaction, so there's no way for it to really occur inside the stomach.

So the effect you may have would be similar to just drinking a lot of fizzy, carbonated soda without Mentos.

So thus, I might suggest skipping the Mentos unless you actually like them.

Sorry, but simply being "obese" is insufficient.

I suggest just forgetting about this idea entirely, unless it's literally the only option you have.

I'm answering this question as it relates to the U.S., since that's where I live and where you seem to live. This answer may or may not be applicable elsewhere.

Disability payments are often very hard to qualify for, with the typical outcome of many who in fact probably should get it, won't.

Even if the application is successful, it will take many months, and the amount is not particularly generous. You can't support yourself on it, although you would be covered under Medicare.

Heard of one kid who I guess might have some sort of very major mental disorder of some sort? He gets $800/mo., that's it. I guess he stays with family.

The most generous benefit I've heard of is around $1,000, which is similarly insufficient.

One case I've heard of, this old lady got a $750ish check, of which HALF of it went to rent on what was basically a toolshed. This was in very rural, highly depressing West Virginia, and she had to work illegally, while undergoing horrendous pain. Illegal in the sense that taking the job is taken as evidence that you are able to work and thus, not so disabled as to need the payment.

Basically, the standards are such that you'd have to very far up shit creek without a paddle before you could even dream of qualifying, and even then you might not get it.

I don't know what assistance you might be able to get if money problems make it a challenge to obtain special equipment but those programs should be out there. For example, how a low wage worker who can't walk could obtain a wheelchair and thus, be able to be a functional member of society.

That sounds hot and really enjoyable! I predict everything is gonna be tight at the end.

I bet you'll need to go clothes shopping at the end of it.
