Getting difficult to reach...

Twise:
Recently I've noticed that it's been getting harder and harder to reach "down there," especially when I'm stuffed full. The other night when I was trying, I was getting so out of breath because of my position that it was pathetic. Luckily I was pretty well endowed before the gain but it's getting much more difficult. Any other other guys or ex jocks experiencing this and if so, what kind of tricks works best for you or care to share experiences?

Munchies:
My partner puts a pillow under his ass and reaches around his gut. Seems to work for him.

Twise:
I may have to try that one cause it's a real struggle. Is it like a more firm one?


It's nothing fancy. He grabs a normal pillow, folds it in half, and sticks it under his ass. He also leans to the side a bit. He's about 40 lbs heavier than you give or take, and he's belly heavy. So it will probably work for you.

Quickly filling but not unhealthy

Samiii0:
Can you recommend some good foods or products that fill you up very quickly but aren't so unhealthy?


If you want healthy gains, you need to focus on sustainability over speed. What's the point of gaining 50 lbs if you end up needing to lose 75 lbs later on?

Your best option is to eat a balanced diet with either bigger portions or more snacks paired with light to moderate exercise. This way, your body can better tolerate the added weight.

Fat accomodations for an in-person work conference

BigBallBellyGirl:
I've worked exclusively from home since the pandemic, and I haven't seen my coworkers in person since January 2023, when I was about 300 lb. In May, we have a mandatory team work retreat, and I'm concerned about logistics. Fortunately, I won't have to fly like some of our team members will, but the retreat entails 2 and 1/2 days in a hotel conference room. There is also a work dinner on the first night, and an optional social hour on the 2nd.

I'm not quite sure how to approach a request for accommodations, but I know I won't be able to fully participate. I'm 600 lb, and I have a very big midsection girth, which means I can't get into many cars. I also no longer drive, which means my husband will have to bring me to and from the venue. Additionally, I wouldn't dare sit in a standard conference room chair, and I also am unable to work at a conventional setup. If a computer is on the table in front of me, I would be unable to reach it because my belly protrudes further than my arms can reach. I have a special setup at home that includes a laptop stand and tray table, which I can maneuver into a comfortable and efficient position. Finally, the evening outings present a challenge. I'm not homebound, but I do choose restaurants carefully based on layout and seating. My company has arranged a shuttle to the destinations, which will present a challenge for me since I use a scooter and also need a sliding van door setup in order to get into a vehicle. Additionally, I use mobility aids to take care of restroom hygiene, and I struggle without my bariatric toilet seat, which is elevated and has reinforced grab bars on both sides.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can navigate this with my director? I want to attend, but my life is basically built around accommodating my size. Should I request accommodations? Should I gracefully bow out of the evening activities? All thoughts are welcome here!

Munchies:
Have you spoken to HR?

Not verbally, but I put in a request for accommodations today listing my need for bariatric seating as a starting point.


I would have a proper conversation HR and maybe your supervisor if you feel comfortable doing so. Either way, the only way forward is getting accommodations to attend or being excused completely.

So i guess tumblr has banned feedism now?

Lbd4:
Sure. Everyone engaged in feedism (or any sexual kink/fetish) should be a consenting adult. I agree 💯.

And yes, a LOT of feedists are disordered eaters. I think a lot of people are disordered eaters. Regardless of the kink/fetish. However binge eating is an eating disorder ONLY when it also includes feelings of shame, loss of control, and secrecy. I’m a binge eater by that definition. This community is helping strip the shame and secrecy from my behavior. It’s helping me change my relationship to food in a very tangible way. My experience here has been the opposite of disordered.

And reporting people who encourage overeating? Where’s the line? I still think this is more about the fat people ick factor than any liability. Couch it however you want.


Yeah, I can see something like this happening. A fat person posts a picture of a taco or themselves enjoying said taco. Then they get reporting for feedism. Someone has a body positivity account? Reported for feedism.

I can see this being used against the ED recovery community. One of the things I see them to is show off their weight gain or talk about gaining weight positively. Some troll would 100% report them for feedism.

So i guess tumblr has banned feedism now?

Stevita:
Well, not exactly banned, but they have a report button for feedism in SPECIFIC now. As someone who has been on the site for upwards of a decade and made a lot of my lasting friendships there in the feedism community, including friendships with better writers than me that I consider my mentors, this is a HUGE slap in the face. I know it's just one website, but it super duper sucks.


This is the banning female presenting nipples thing all over again. I was told a lot of weird things go nuked like sand dunes and pictures of food.

Having interacted with ... certain members of this community ... I can understand why feedism is seen as a form of self harm, abuse, or disordered eating. I have spent the past 3 years yelling at these people.

But feedism is not inherently these things. By this logic, BDSM is inherently abuse, but most people understand it's not.

Tariff impacts on feederism

Morbidly A Beast:
there’s enough demand in the American market any importer will pay reluctantly at a loss, the importer could hike prices all they want it would only increase the tax.

there are going to be people who say import taxes are justifying price increases merely to make profit it’s economical.


I mean, kudos to you if you can take the hit, but that's not a lot of people. And RIP to the small businesses that are failing specifically because of the tariffs.

We also lack the infrastructure to manufacture all the overseas products here. It will take years, over a decade in some cases. If he wanted to create more American jobs by forcing businesses to operate over here, this is the worst way to do it.

The wealthy will always find ways to stay wealthy. They will probably be fine in the long term concerning the tariffs. But the average American? Not so much.

Preparing to get fat

JohnT:
At some point activity will inevitably stop though. My now wife was in the 200s ten years ago and quit mobile, agile and fit. She has been steadily gaining over the years- something I discreetly encouraged - until almost 5 years ago when I confessed to her that I am a feeder and that was the turning point of her massive gain. She is now 593lbs and although not immobile, she’s hardly mobile. Even though we were happy in a relationship as a girlfriend and boyfriend, i wanted her to feel secure in this new condition.. that i will always take care of her and be there for her regardless of her massiveness and immobility, so we got married a few months ago. I love how she let go, and I can’t wait to see her hitting 600 and beyond even if it means that we can’t do together all these activities normal young couples do. I love driving her around and going out to restaurants that have accessible seating for her. Or pushing her wheelchair when we go to malls.


That's not true.

Some people get lazier over time. Some don't. My grandparents are 72 and 69. They are both very active. They regularly compete with each other to see who walked the most steps throughout the day and go on long walks together.

Actually, there are a lot of older couples in my area that are like this.

Unfortunately someone who is impressionable

Gainingdream:
I am unfortunately impressionable.. insecure.. someone who always lets others determine a part of my future!.. a pleaser … I am a Feedee.. I am addicted to food.. I love fat.. I love getting fat and playing with my fat.. 6 months ago I was very active with gaining and was really getting fat.. unfortunately I stopped because of em for others! I even went to a psychologist and now I am back to square one, how should I deal with this,, how do you do that?

Munchies:
Go back to the therapist. Stay away from the community until you are far enough into your journey that people won't used and abuse you.

Just making a post about you being impressionable as marked you as easy prey.

Gainingdream:
Thank you for your lovely explanation! I still go to the psychologist. She says I should do what makes me happy, and honestly that is of course my family! But also getting fat.. the feederism.. I have suppressed that all my life, now I finally got fatter (over 138 kilos) and due to insecurity and especially my environment and the nagging I gave in again to lose weight and. even went to a psychologist


You are very sweet. But I am serious. There are a lot of unsavory people out there that will try to manipulate you into fulfilling fantasies that are not necessarily yours.

Ideally, you should be able to express your fetish in a way that makes you happy regardless of people pushing you to gain or lose weight.
