A friend has convinced me to go up to 400 lbs and I'm pretty new to purposely eating tons to gain weight and I was wondering if anyone on here had any tips for me or others in my position

Abol:
Recently, I've been feeling off due to being so invested in the fat fetish. Like, I know it's fine to like what I like, but it feels wrong with how much I view on the sites/apps pretty much all of us use. It feels as though I shouldn't be into things I've been into for YEARS now.

Currently, I have plans to quit the fetish full-on; a full-blown, scorched Earth method that includes deleting/deactivating/signing out of EVERYTHING that has even an ounce of feederism/fat fetish. I don't want to do it, but it seems like the only way.

What are some ways y'all have dealt with similar personal issues? How would I go about overcoming/accepting the fetish?

As a Brit, I have thanksgiving feast envy.

Munchies:
There's no law that said you can't have a feast anyway.

Growing Rolls:
I've always thought Thanksgiving sounded so fun, and this year, I decided at the last minute to celebrate it on my own. It wasn’t entirely traditional: I went with chicken carbonara and mashed potatoes, some sides, and lots of sweets—cheesecake, Danish pastries, and dark chocolate peanutbutter cups. It was amazing. I hope next year I’ll be able to celebrate with others, either in person or online 😊

Munchies:
I'm into stuffed belly burps. Never fails to make me wet when I've stuffed my partner and he can't stop burping when I wobble his belly around.

Or when I grind against his belly after he just ate.

All very sexy to me.

You must be the best feeder to ever exist lol. I’d love to be your feedee

XFat:
Curiosity, what are the main implications when it comes to gaining on Margarine vs butter?

From what I know (and I could be wrong) butter is generally better for gaining as it is a higher fat content and made with actual cream. Further, Margarine (I may be wrong) is usually higher in Saturated fats, which work, but ultimately put a bigger strain on your heart/liver as time goes on.

What am i missing? Where is my info wrong?

Thats actually a weird situation im in, i wanna be as healthy as possible while really fat and really weak physically, at least in the ways that matter to my ability to move. Is it possible to get exercise without raining muscles in legs or arms (And focusing on the heart and lungs instead)? Would that be possible and helpfull?

SumoSized:
Thats definitely understandable. If you just want to do cardio I'd recommend using the stationary bike since that way you can remain seated and it relieves tension from your joints (I've also heard good things about swimming in that regard but I'm not really a big swimmer). I still like to advocate for some amount of weight lifting. And for beginners I like to recommend goblet squats just so you can learn to get the form correct with low weight but as you get more advanced I've had good luck with Bulgarian split squats and the leg press.

Also I can tell you from experience, if you've finished an especially big workout and just finished a big meal, you will feel so sore and heavy you can't move for a few hours so you can stay healthy and still feel immobile

Munchies:
It's not possible to be very fat, be weak, but still maintain good heart health. The weaker your body is, the harder your heart has to work. The body isn't something that exists in a vacuum.

There's a reason why a lot of bigger people are also pretty strong. It takes a lot of strength to lug all of that bulk around - especially if you are healthy.

Enas will have to make a choice. No other way around it.

True I worded that wrong, I was trying to suggest ways to feel weaker since it seems a lot of people on here like that feeling while still maintaining mobility and building strength

So I strongly believe everyone regardless of if they're going for a muscle chub look or just straight up fat, should try implementing some amount of exercise into their routine.

Canuck:
i think this is good advice. i went cold turkey off of exercising when i started to gain, and now - several years later and a few hundred pounds heavier - i am really struggling to get back into it. but one of the other side effects of starting to exercise again has been that i sleep much more soundly!

Munchies:
I'm rootin for ya!

A lot of people stop exercising when they commit to gaining. And I get the logic. It's a great way to put on pounds. But that is one of the most foolhardy things you can do - especially if you are an extreme gainer.

Gotta stay active - even if it's only light exercise.

Enas:
For many (me included) its not about not burning calories only, but also for becoming weaker! O.o

Munchies:
I mean, I ain'tcha mamma. You can do whatever you want. But as someone who has been in the medical field for nearly a decade, I've seen what happens with weak, fat people. It's endless suffering and pain 24/7.

I'll never forget this one lady who was crying about how much pain she was end and said "I want to lose all this weight, but it hurts so much. The only thing stopping me from ending it all is my family."

I know a lot of people have this immobility/limited mobility fantasy. But most of y'all truly do not understand what you are asking for. Being weak and skinny is a whole different beast from weak and very fat.

I've seen similar in my line of work too, I've seen some pretty bad bed sores from patients that are too huge to get out of bed on their own and need assistance in order to get into their wheelchairs. Sadly at a lot of the nursing homes/assisted living facilities I work with the staff either neglects them or are sadly too busy to come help them out of bed so they spend all day locked in their room. I'm just a wheelchair technician so I try to do what I can to reduce these issues like using foam inserts to relieve pressure and with some patients we get custom molded cushions to fit their needs but Medicaid doesn't always cover that sort of thing. To anyone who read through this whole word salad take care of your body, being fat doesn't have to mean being unhealthy. There are ways to be 400-500 lbs while minimizing the health risks you might face.
