My fiance and I lovingly refer to each other's bellies and, in her case, breasts simply as "him" and "her". And other parts, too, if I may be slightly suggestive

How many bargain grocery stores are in your area? If there are any Dollar Trees, Dollar Generals, etc., then there's many a cheap way to stock up on pasta, potatoes, and filling side items (albeit canned) to keep your weight up. With higher-end stores, you have to catch a sale to keep from running out of money. I make more than minimum, but get paid only once a month....so the money can run out quickly if I don't "value-shop", so to speak.

Hi, all! Hope this is the right place for such a question. I'm getting married in May and my fiance is searching around online for a lacy, plus-size dress. (We're not following the tradition of secret this, secret that for our ceremony when it comes to this. We love each other and that's that!) Some sizes are numbered like dresses are usually numbered while others are sized simply "2x, 3x, 4x, etc.". Any advice for the best sites out there for BBW brides? She knows I'm reaching out. Her height/weight/cup size are 5-2, about 315 pounds and 44 DDD.

Don't let anyone tell you you're not beautiful -- because you are!

My mom noticed my growing belly yesterday during the tail end of my holiday visit. I had raised my shirt briefly to pull up my belt since I wear pants a bit large for comfort's sake. She said, "Yeah, I remember when you once said you'd never get a big belly. Well, you have one now!" Mind you, she's always been a health nut and even my bowling ball of a belly makes me fat in her eyes. She loves my 312-pound fiancé quite well, though, and seems to appreciate our love isn't based on conforming to some standard of physical beauty. It's based on love and cooperation :-)

My fiancé weighed in at 312 at the doctor's this past week Happy on many levels -- that she's still confident about her size but also that her actual waist actually shrunk to fit two pairs of 26-28 jeans she hadn't gotten into for a while. She wondered if she lost weight, but I think somehow her double belly stayed the same while her waist underneath shrunk. Either way, we're having a fat and happy holiday :-)

We'd have to define fetishism further to come up with pure results. I'd say the vast majority of the membership here is male, only because men truly love womanly hips, full breasts, and varying degrees of belly girth. My fiancé is a proud inheritor of the fat gene. Heavy since puberty and about 330 now. Confidence, in her case, is very sexy I'm just trying to maintain something of a belly for her to play with as I play with hers

flyinghorse:
That's really sad that you don't seem to be enjoying it anymore.

Are you happy to stay at the same size or do you plan to lose a little?

SsbbwTav:
I never gained intentionally so I was not gaining pleasure in the first place. However, I have come to accept this weight and live with it and sometimes even enjoy my size despite its limitations. Perhaps being involved in the FA community has helped me accept myself more and make all the necessary adjustments to my every day life. The health issues are the most troublesome, and those which sometimes make me feel more distressed emotionally, but there are always ways to work around them through lifestyle changes. I tried to lose weight with no success so I stopped trying to combat my addiction to food and somehow I have learned to embrace my big size, though it's not always easy and it should be a lifelong process.

Biggest POSITIVE of being fat is that most men prefer fat women, whatever they may say![/quote]

Indeed This guy loves his short, fat sweetie!

I'm here to encourage and offer sweet comments to ladies who are gaining and need the cheer I I've the life of an encourager every day with my fiancé, whose weight has nearly tripled in the past 20 years or so. Having two kids and the fat gene helps, but so does the love and encouragement :-)

Just a general statement on acne and related skin problems....some of us struggle with it into middle age. The only thing that's worked for my recurring redness/rosacea on my nose and cheeks is antibiotic pills. I haven't had the chance to find a skin doctor in mine and my lady's new town, so I'm a bit redder these days than I ought to be.
