What is it about being fat that makes you keep on gaining?

It just feels more comfortable, I had so many body image issues when I was skinny and I hated the feeling of feelings boney. Now that I have a layer of squish I just feel more myself. I'm hoping to gain another 100 lbs and then we'll see where I go from there

Do you find the physical limitations of weight gain a turn on or a turn off?

Munchies:
Not just that. Illness, job loss, death ... the list is long.

Hell, these past due months has seen an uptick in natural disasters, war, and terrorism. Not saying people need to live in fear. Just be aware that things can go tits up without any notice, and you need to be prepared

Sweetfattie:
It always surprises me that so many people don’t plan for the worst case scenario. Maybe it’s because I grew up in California, where fire and earthquake preparedness are something you learn as little kids. Disaster could strike at any time, so you make contingency plans and then get on with life.

So, I don’t want to get fat enough that I can’t run while carrying two cat carriers long enough to get out of a burning house. (Which I can do right now. It’s not pleasant for anyone involved, but I can if I have to.)

Romy:
An obese and immobile person thinks more about what he or she is going to eat than about what could happen in the event of a natural disaster.
In my condition, getting out of bed, leaving the house and then transporting myself is a challenge that requires logistics and the joint work of several people. I even need medical transport designed for someone of my size and, if I am lucky, there is a unit miles away. In the event of a heart attack, I only receive assistance at home and, if surgery is necessary, I am condemned to die.
Natural disasters are minor things and if one were to happen, they cannot do anything to get me out of the house. I do not believe that in an emergency they would allocate vehicles and personnel to get a fat, immobile person out of her house.

It's still crazy to me that so much medical equipment just cannot handle people over a certain weight. Like I work in the medical supply industry, the Texas branch of the company I work for only does wheelchairs but in the rest of the country they also sell beds and oxygen tanks and things like that. But so many of our chairs have such low maximum weights. For most of our manual and power chairs the max weight is 300 lbs which feels incredibly low. Out of all the brands we work with Amylior has the highest weight capacity at 550 lbs. This just feels counter intuitive to me since you'd think people who weigh more would need these products too, they just don't exist for their size.
Also even if you're not heavy and are just thicker you can also run into problems. Most of our manual chairs have a max width of 22 in with only a couple brands going up to 26 in

Interesting statistics

Curiousv:
I did some research about the prevalence of FA and feederism, and it coincided with what I already assumed about the distribution of feeders and feedees from my online and real world experience.

For every 1000 men who are fat admirers (FA):

- There are about ~50–150 women with a feederism fetish, attracted to their own weight gain
- There are about ~3000–4500 obese women (BMI 35+) (regardless of the fetish)
- There are about ~300–600 extremely obese women (BMI 50+)

So if you are a man looking for a woman who is into the kink, your chances are low, as there are only 50-150 of them per every 1000 of you.
However, if you are just looking for a BBW big enough for her weight to be very noticeable, there are 3-4 of them or more, for every one of you.
Even SSBBWs who are big enough for their weight to significantly affect their life, there are plenty of them to have a reasonable chance to find one, but then you have to be prepared for them to feel miserable about their weight and hopefully you can love them for themselves and accept that they don't want to gain any weight, and hopefully still make their life better by loving them and accepting them, compared to a non-FA who might not find them as beautiful as you do.

Munchies:
This is fascinating. Based on my anecdotal experiences, I am inclined to believe these statistics. That said, I would be interested in seeing your raw data or methodology.

That's also only for male FA's to female feedees. I have to imagine the ratio between male feedees and female feeders is even smaller.

Gaining weight to get revenge on parents

DoubleK:
Anyone else forced into sports at a young age? Most of my life I've worked hard and worked out nearly every day to be a basketball and vollyball player.

But it wasn't my thing and now I feel like eating and enjoying myself and not being an athlete.

Ugh idk anyone get me?

Honestly yes, when I was a freshman in highschool my dad made me pick a sport to join. I ended up joining wrestling, which basically has built in eating disorders, because you're regularly weighed and you have to stay under specific numbers. I was really underweight at the time (125 lbs) so I was out in the 126 weight class and was told for that entire year I was not allowed to go above that number.
That worked out for the first couple months but I just felt so scrawny and weak. Like I was working out every day so my muscles wanted to grow but I couldn't eat enough to let them because I couldn't gain more than a pound that entire year. Luckily the pandemic happened that spring and brought everything to a halt. I was still lifting weights but I didn't have any restrictions as of course, all the sports games got cancelled.
I ended up gaining like 45 lbs of lean body mass within the first couple months alone. My parents still made me diet and we never had any sort of junk food in the house, so even though I was a lot heavier I still looked really thin and it was messing with my body image. I hated that I was 170 lbs but you could still see every one of my ribs.
Now I'm finally moved out of my parents house and I can eat whatever I want. I still lift weights because it's a comfort to me, but I make no attempt at dieting. I'm a lot softer now and I love my new body.

What to do when i stuck

Jacob34:
Hi I try to gained some weight but I stuck in my progress form some time.Any advice?

It happens sometimes, I've been in a months long plateau and only recently broke it. It just means you need to eat more calories each day and eventually you'll break out of it

Have any life experiences affect how you experience feedism?

Eleanorrigby:
So, personally I'm a feeder, and a firm feeder. Sometimes, the idea of mutual gaining excites me, but as someone living with a critical illness who needs an organ transplant, gaining significant weight is kind of out of the picture for me. My body doesn't tolerate caloric food very well, and I wouldn't want to put my already fragile health at further risk lol

I guess I'm just curious if anyone has a similar experience? Even if not illness, if there are any experiences or events you have or are living through that heavily affect how you perceive the fetish/kink?

I've been vegetarian basically my entire life, and I was a pretty picky eater at that so I was really skinny too. For me I wasn't really vegetarian for any moral reason, like yes the meat industry is corrupt but so is every other industry so it's not like abstaining from meat matters. Instead I just had a texture issue where literally the act of swallowing any meat product made me want to vomit. I have no idea why, but this started when I was like 7 and it still lingers to this day. I discovered in middle school that for some reason seafood doesn't trigger this reflex for me so I'd eat that occasionally. And more recently I've eaten some chicken here and there and depending on how it's cooked it doesn't trigger my gag reflex. Red meats are still entirely off the table for me, I just can't swallow them.
This has definitely impacted my ability to gain as meat is naturally high calorie. But it's just an obstacle, not a roadblock

Christianity and feedism

Oogabooga10:
You're not wrong, but in my mind it's all about moderation. I don't see a problem with something like a stuffing to be a problem, but I would prioritize a person's health. If you do too much, then your body develops conditions and such, so it's all about a balance in my point of a view. Take wine for example, you take too much and get intoxicated and throw up, but having some of fine.

I also really like the soft feedism aspect of caring/feeding someone too, and I don't think of it as a bad thing.

That's my take on feedism at least

To be fair in the original translation of the Bible gluttony was used to refer to the hoarding of resources and wealth. But in the middle ages the church was controlled by the upper class who were hoarding all the resources and wealth so it was more convenient for them to change the meaning to just "don't be fat lol". But what do I know I'm just a pagan

I want to ask people who were thin before and decided to gain weight

Viktoshka:
I want to ask people who were thin before and decided to gain weight. After you gained weight, do you regret doing it? If you don't, then share your experience of gaining weight. How did you do it?

SumoSized:
I used to be really skinny 4 years ago, I was around 125. I knew I was upset with my body and wanted to be bigger so I started with muscle. I put on around 60 lbs of muscle and decided that still wasn't doing it for me. For a while I wasn't intentionally gaining weight but I wasn't trying to lose it either. Then around mid last year I decided to fully commit and start gaining weight proper (both muscle and fat) and I've never been happier with my body and certainly have no regrets.

Viktoshka:
It's great that you've found what makes you happy! Sounds like a path to true comfort in your body. Have you achieved the shape you were aiming for, or do you have new goals?

Not yet, I'm hoping to at least get to 300 lbs maybe more. I'm just taking things step by step. I don't want to commit to gaining a certain amount of weight only to be unsatisfied with it.
