The gaining life podcast!

Yeah, it's actually pretty good. I never thought I would want to listen to it -- it's all about gay male gainers, not my thing-- but when I finally did I realized it's mostly about the general topic of gaining on purpose and the upsides and downsides thereof.

Fat Nat's interview is probably the best.

From chubby to fatty

Yes, you're fat!

BBW? Idk, I've always thought that was a euphemism.

Adjusting to the gainer's diet

Eating before bed is not required. Makes it hard to sleep, as your metabolism revs up to digest all that food. It's also harder to digest if you're not moving around.

Dating on ff

I have to point out that while it's hard to find the right person, it's probably the best time in human history to do so. At least there's a community of feedists now, even if it's only online.

When I was a young man I didn't even know feedees existed! I knew at least one feeder existed (me), and suspected that there were others, but didn't really know.

Moderation??

Here's the Fat Nat quote:

"I would just say GO for it...cause the fat thing, in my experience... I've never known anybody to successfully suppress their interest in fat forever. Eventually everybody caves. I think. And it's so much better to just be yourself. And do what you actually want to do. And if you want to get fat--there are difficulties, like finding clothes or whatever--but just do it! If it's what you're into it's such a great thing to do. And I can't REALLY see a reason not to do it. You know, if you can afford the food, afford the clothes...and you're thick-skinned enough to rebut comments from family members or whatever that's all you have to worry about.
"So just go for it. Getting fat is an amazing thing."

Weight gain retreat?

Yeah, they have a public weigh-in and weigh-out. One guy gained 18 lbs in a week!

but that doesn't mean you can't go to the gainer house if you're straight.


Thanks for clearing that up. It does seem to be limited to male gainers though. That's a pretty serious limitation in my book!

You just have to make sure your boundaries are set, I guess.


Apparently they have a no-sex rule (though belly-rubs and cuddling are allowed).

It does seem to be a real thing: Fat Nat tells the story: thegaininglife.com/podcasts/The_Gaining_Life-Episode_22.mp3">Gaining Life at 47:30

There's one guy, TipTheScales, who finances the whole thing. I'm not clear if eveyone can go for free, but some can. Gainers typically go for a week and pig out the whole time.

Maybe there'll be a heterosexual one someday!
