Going back to the gym

So for as much as I talk about how hot I think muscle chub is I honestly haven't been able to go to the gym that much recently. I just got a second job in June and honestly that been eating up most of my free time.
Usually when I take long breaks from the gym I'll start to lose weight because my body starts breaking down the muscle. But this time my weight actually started going up, and oh boy I could definitely tell once I got to the gym.
I've completely cut cardio out of my workout routine, but even just using the machines was a pain. I can definitely tell most of the machines at my gym were made with skinny people in mind because even though I'm only 224 my shoulders still felt too tight in a lot of them, so I had to sort of wiggle my way in there. And even though there was massive overhead fans blowing I was still sweating like crazy. I swear I would practically never sweat when I was below 200 lbs but recently the Texas heat has gotten to me much more.
I'm curious if any other gainers/feedees have any going back to the gym stories they'd like to share

How do i achieve the gainer mindset

Ultimateaaron12:
I think I’m finally ready to give into gaining but my problem is I feel really embarrassed at the idea of ordering at restaurants or grocery shopping like a fat person especially as someone the exact opposite and of course already being shy in general doesn’t help but I’m wondering if anyone who had a similar experience who was embarrassed about giving in and eventually let go has any advice would be greatly appreciated

Morbidly A Beast:
3 words: food delivery apps
Worried about people judging you for getting enough food to feed a family of 12, don’t worry door dash will do it for you and they’ll just drop it at your door no interaction required

Or you can do curbside pick up you can have someone shop for you and alls you have to do is open your trunk and boom you got groceries or like I said just get a grocery delivery app

People need to stop worrying about what people might say or do and just learn to go with the vibes, don’t get me wrong I struggle with this sometimes too but the idea that someone is going to say something or bully you for being a fatty because you got a lot of food will never happen and if it does ever I will eat my words trust me but it won’t the fear is irrational fundamentally

I feel like this is a really common fear for people who started off skinny, or people who just generally grew up in a very fatphobic household. I'm definitely guilty of projecting a lot of the fatphobic views my parents instilled in me, so for instance sometimes when I'm going through a drive thru as soon as I hear the person's voice through the speaker I'll downsize my order because I'm afraid of them thinking I'm being a fatty. So I can definitely vouch for morbidly a beast's advice. Even if the worker is going to completely forget you exist in like 5 seconds, ordering online helps avoid feeling embarrassed

Vegan feedists unite!

I'm not vegan but I have been vegetarian for a long while. The main thing that makes being vegetarian/vegan so hard with this fetish is that most of that food just doesn't have that many calories so you have to find little work arounds and just eat in as large of quantities as you can stomach. I would suggest trying to find a good protein powder/mass gainer (I don't know any vegan brands off the top of my head) and make a bunch of weight gain shakes with that and peanut butter (I've found I prefer soy milk for shakes if I do a milk alternative but really any of them should work). Then for meals just try to find things that are heavy in carbs and try to eat as much as you can. For a nice simple meal one of my favorites is refried beans on rice with cornbread.

What’s a good paying job for a feedee

This is my my feederism hot take but honestly I don't like completely sedentary jobs as a feedee because at least for me if I stay sedentary all day I just don't get an appetite at all. I would say preferably try to find a job where you move around some but still get to sit down for long parts of the day. I currently work at a warehouse as a wheel chair technician which allows me to set around for most of the day waiting for our deliveries to show up, and when they do I can sit down while I work on them. Because of that I'm burning some calories through out the day but it makes me hungry enough I'm easily able to eat enough to replace and exceed the calories lost.

Does being fat enhance the experience of the fetish?

I'd say if you're in the fence give it a shot. I thought I was more of a feeder/fat admirer when I first got into this fetish but I started gaining weight on my own and I turned into a full on feedee. If you gain a few lbs and decide it's not for you, then no harm no foul. Its not that hard to loose that little of weight. But if you decide you like it then you may actually be a feedee in hiding or a mutual gainer

Who was thin and got fat

I've mentioned this on other posts but I started gaining when I was 125 lbs, but it was a lot of lean muscle mass. Once I hit 175 ish I started putting on some more body fat as well as muscle, and now I'm sitting at 222 looking to get bigger

I gained 50 pounds in 8 months

That's sick, do you have a weight goal in mind or are you just gaining as much as you physically can?

What age did you start gaining?

I technically started gaining weight my freshman year of high school which was right when the pandemic hit. At that point I was aware of this community but always thought of myself more as the feeder so I wasn't interested in getting fat myself so all the weight I gained was just lean muscle mass which took me up from 126 lbs my freshman year to 175 lbs my junior year.
It was then I started getting dissatisfied with my body. I had literally gained 50 lbs but you could still see my ribs which bothered the hell out of me. I then started watching videos about famous strongman like Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw and decided I wanted a body type closer to that with muscles and belly fat. So around midway through my junior year I just stopped dieting and I've managed to put on a fair bit of fluff since then.
But now after I have some fat I've grown obsessed with it and I want a lot more, I was more of less passively gaining before I wasn't really counting my calories I was just generally trying to eat more food. Now I've decided to take the next step and actively start stuffing myself more

Sucking-in

Sophie115486:
I’m new to being anywhere even near big and am most certainly not. But as I continue to put on weight I’ve noticed that I suck in but because I’m not used ti having a tummy I have to consciously suck in below my belly button or else I still have a gut or my wardrobe -haven’t updated it in over ten years- looks too tight or even is too tight.

I was wondering what weight or experience made you guys notice you can’t really hide it nor is it evening working. I’m getting to the point where even sucking in the bottom still leaves me with a little belly but I can play it off

I'm at that exact point too. Im still not entirely comfortable in public with my belly (I'm hoping that'll go away as I get bigger) so I still suck it in when I'm outside but in the last month it's been a lot harder to do that and a bit of it still pokes out now. I'm almost giddy at the idea of sometime soon trying to suck it in but it hardly makes a difference

Busty guys

Femme Calories:
As a woman, I'm definitely into bustier / curvier guys. Especially if he's got fatter tits and ass than me. I like having something to grab, a guy with some meat on his bones. I'm not sure how many guys are into this, let alone nipple sucking.

That's why I like to advocate for male feedees/gainers to also lift weights while gaining. I've found that for a lot of guys until you get really big, their legs, ass, and arms tend to not put on as much size as their gut. That's why I like to mix in a decent amount of weight lifting to balance out those areas. I just think it gives guys a more over all rounded/curvy look, and that's what I'm going for with my gain
