Tariff impacts on feederism

Kitsune:
I should give up internet life. It screws up my mental health and makes me want to throw away my phone. I am going to try to read more books and watch more shows. All this doom and gloom makes me suicidal.


Wishing you well.

Planning a vacation… where are the good queer feedism communities?

Bellyempire:
Honestly sounds like Atlanta to me.


Atlanta, GA? Well, I'm not from there, but I have a lot of family that does. Never heard of anything that suggests it's friendlier to any of these these than your average city.

But I am open to being wrong. Perhaps one of our ATL feedists can chime in on this.

Tariff impacts on feederism

Bellyempire:
How are the tariffs and other political issues impacting your ability to gain?

SumoSized:
I mean they were recently paused so it hasn't impacted my financial situation too much. But assuming the come back in full force eventually it'll make certain foods a lot harder to get here in the US, since a lot of fruits just can't be grown here. And even if in a later version of the tariff plan food is exempted, everything else will still increase in price so I'll have less money to spend on overeating. Across the board tariffs are a bad idea, anyone who tries to convince you otherwise is a lunatic

Munchies:
Shit like this makes me think of the Maduro diet. For those not in the know, back in 2010, Venezuelans were having severe food shortages under President Maduro due to his gross incompetence.

I'm not saying it will be that bad for us, but I foresee many feedees and gainers slimming down - no Ozempic needed.

SumoSized:
God I hope not, but who knows with this president. For all we know in a years time the tariffs will be the least of our problems


Every day since 11/06/2024, I question my decision to raw dog life sober.

Depends. How attached are you to your teeth?

Question on heavy whipping cream, plateaus, and delayed gain

Zora:
I recently took a one-week break from gaining because I had hit a plateau. I have resumed drinking the heavy whipping cream and have a question.

If taking a break did resolve the plateau issue, will I resume gaining weight immediately, or will there be a two-to-three-week delay like there was when I first started the heavy whipping cream?


Yes. Your body still needs to process everything. The gains are not from the heavy cream so much as they are from what you eat while consuming heavy cream.

Daily "i'm fat" reminders

Kitsune:
I am still craving for sweets even though I had a lot of sugar today and I don't want to go overboard. This morning I drank my 24 oz caramel latte from yesterday. Since I drank a bit of it when it was fresh, I say there was 20 ounces of it left today until I finished it.

During my shopping trip, my dad bought me a venti pink drink from Starbucks. I like to add half of breve instead of "coconut" so I don't know what the calories are like compared to the original ingredients. Regardless, it's still not a healthy drink...

Now I am eager to try the Stephens hot chocolate mix that was a impulse purchase of mine. I didn't think it would hurt to treat myself during my upcoming layoff so I am glad I bought it. I never had expensive hot chocolate before and there was a ton of positive opinions on this brand. It shouldn't be as awfully sugary like Swiss Miss but for sure it's not a light dessert.

My new way to make hot chocolate is to make a hot mocha by adding the mixture to some drip coffee. Also mix in a small amount of frothy half and half. (I add sugar to it) If available I like to top the drink off with whip cream. I bet food snobs are not going to like what I just said but it's damn delicious.

Overall, sweet liquid sure expands my circumfrance. This is why I can't have cute lolita dresses.

Glitter Jelly:
Do you know brands who make nice japanese lolita dresses for larger bodies? I own many BTSSB, AATP, Angelic pretty coords but they don't fit well anymore. Skirts are even worse, they were already tight when I was 25 lbs thinner.


There are a lot of places that offer plus sized Lolita clothes. A quick google search will show you a lot of brands - including some that go up to 7XL.

My weight is "stuck"

Piggo88:
It's possible to shock your body into gaining by dramatically increasing your daily caloric intake above the norm and sustaining it for a few weeks. I challenged myself to a minimum 6,000 calorie daily diet for forty days, occasionally reaching 8 or 9k, and packed on 33 pounds. It was hard on my body, though. It was physically challenging to eat enough every day to hit that target, and I was consuming so much sugar it disrupted my ability to sleep.
I don't recommend it if you have health issues, but it is one way to get results.


I don't recommend this even if you are healthy. Sure you can shock your body into growing more, but it's very common for the weight not to stick after that. It's also even more common for those that do this to end up needing to lose the weight later.

How you gain is more important than how much you gain. If you don't put in the work to prepare your body for the additional pounds, then you are preparing yourself to lose them.

Preparing to get fat

BellyBoi24:
I used to go to the gym quite a lot, mainly for cardio and other high-intensity workouts, but now I’ve finally decided to stop resisting and start gaining, I’ve come up with a staged plan to prepare to get fat:

- Limit cardio and start lifting weights/dirty bulking so that I build a good frame on which to pile fat
- Gradually replace sessions with WG-oriented pursuit, e.g. replace one session a week with a stuffing instead
- Once I’m big enough, quit the gym entirely

Not only will this hopefully help me with my gain long term, there’s something very hot about slowing and consciously saying goodbye to my old fit self

Has anyone got experience of anything similar. How long did you keep up with the gym after you started your gain. What happened when you finally stopped?

SumoSized:
I wouldn't quit the gym entirely, there's still a ton of health benefits to going and it could save you from some heart problems in the future. Reduce it? Sure that'll reduce the number of calories you burn and help you gain faster. But don't cut it out entirely


I second this. Even if you decide to stop going to the gym, you need to be some kind of active just for basic maintenance. When I was actively fattening up my partner to 500 lbs, I made him work out. He didn't like it, but it helped him to keep doing all the other things he loves to do.

Also, exercise can increase your appetite and help you gain more weight.
