Back for being overweight...

Glitter Jelly:
Haven't been able to lose any weight because I've been sleeping at my bf most nights which means I'm still waking up and eating at night. Will see an endocrinologist in December, I'm almost hoping something is wrong with my health so this can be medically fixed. I feel so uncomfortable in everything, I dread going out of my home now. But staying in means I'm moving even less and I need to start exercising even if it's just walking more... My bf says I need to jog and walking isn't exercise, but I have bad memories of PE classes from being a fat child/teenager...


With peace and love to your boyfriend, walking is exercise. It may not be as intense as jogging but you will burn calories.

If you want to up the ante, you can power walk or speed walk.

That said, I wish you well with your fitness goals. Why don't you ask your boyfriend to work out with you? Even if it's just going on walks together.

What mental changes have you experienced while gaining a significant amount of weight

Faaaat:
Recently I have noticed my mind and character changing while gaining 13 lbs in a month and I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same either with short term or long term gaining and if yes, how did it look like for you?


Trigger warning for abuse and unhealthy body image issues

Former gainer here. I got a lot bolder when I was on my weight gain journey.

I grew up in an abusive household. My mom had a lot of body image issues and would project that onto me since we look so much alike. I was underweight due to some lifelong health issues. I was between 110 and 115 for the most part, and I hated it. But any time I gained even 5 lbs, my mother would go off the deep end and body shame me back into compliance.

She used to model, but after having kids, she was no longer slim and hated it. She'd often tell me how much she wished she had my body and that one day she'll get back down to that size.

Meanwhile, I was miserable. I got cold all the time, I was sick a lot. I felt ugly even though everyone around me would gush about how pretty I was. I'd often fantasize about how pretty I'd be as a BBW.

Eventually, it dawned on me that I was an adult, and my mother's unhinged opinions about my body didn't matter. So I took the plunge.

It was a special kind of hell at first. She'd viciously fat shamed me at every turn even when I wasn't even in the normal BMI range. I considered stopping several times just to spare myself the pain. But it was my body to change - not hers. And I'd rather live in one that made me happy.

Over time, as I kept disregarding her opinions, I got better at making and enforcing my boundaries. I even got her to stop fat shaming me. I knew she had her opinions, but if you bite someone's head off enough, they learn to keep it to themselves.

After a while, we had an adult conversation where I confronted her about her projection and how it impacted me. I even got an apology out of it. My mom's been on a healing journey about her own hang ups and our relationship is doing better.

Despite the suffering, I am happy about the person I ended up being. It's been very useful in both my professional and personal life.

Examples include:

Dancing,
Roller/ice skating

How to add butter or heavy cream?

!!!!!Important side note!!!!!

This is not as simple when it comes to baking. Cooking is an art. Baking is a science. You can take the same three ingredients and make wildly different things depending on ingredient ratios, the order you add ingredients, or even the way you combine them.

If you decide to add or substitute butter and/or heavy cream to baked goods without adjusting for other things like fat content, you may not enjoy the end result.

How to add butter or heavy cream?

FattMatt:
Does anyone have tips for adding heavy cream or more butter (making it more calorie dense). I don’t need recipes, but if you want to share I won’t complain. I’m not much of a cook and don’t want to ruin my dinner by experimenting it blindly. What kind of flavors can I do that with, what kind of recipes do I need to avoid adding heavy cream or butter to. Are there any other things I can add to make things more fattening?


Butter and cream have mild flavors, so they pair with everything. Easiest thing to do is use butter to grease your skillets and pans or add heavy cream to any sauce you're making.

Hell, substitute the liquid in Kraft mac n cheese with heavy cream and add a pat of butter to really kick it up a notch.

Fat women dancing

Falcor:
I think that one of the most sexiest thing a woman can do is to dance. And if it happened to be that she is also big, that is even hotter!

What do you think?

Women out there, of all sizes, do you like dancing?


I love to dance. I'm no professional, but I have rhythm.

I do think that more energetic dances look more mesmerizing when the dancer has something shake. Don't gotta be fat. But a little something something or at least some flowy fabric helps.

I know he's not a woman, but there's this fat Turkish guy on TikTok that belly dances. He has exactly one move from what I can tell - rhythmically bouncing his belly to the music. This actually requires a good deal of core strength so it's pretty cool and sexy on many levels.

As a bonus, sometimes he posts videos of people feeding him and then bounces his belly. It's great.

Fetish in food-bulged full belly

Lovinitbig:
This is 100% my kink here. Although I will say a lifetime of practicing it has left me much softer than I ever thought I would be. It’s a small price to pay for all those stuffings I’ve had. Hundreds of them…


One might argue that's a perk, not a price ~

Goals for anti-dieters

Chimneychonga:
I suppose in that sense, you're right. There will be fringe cases where this will be a known workaround. But I've seen cases (namely Boogie2988) where people treat bariatric surgery as a miracle cure, and from sheer ignorance either drink their calories to undo their weight loss, or stretch their stomach so far that they're back to square one. You could argue the cost per year where it's better than placebo, but if that ever happened to me I'd be pissed even though it would technically be my fault in that case.

Munchies:
Beloved, don't use Boogie as an example. That man's life is a series of poor decisions after poor decisions, and he ignores the people in his life who give him good advice.

Also, anyone going into bariatric surgery is quickly disabused of the notion that very early on. They have to see a barrage of specialists to confirm they are candidates for the surgery. They are told in graphic detail everything they can expect before, during, and after. Also, their doctors check in with them after the surgery to ensure they follow what they must do after the fact.

I've seen the paperwork alone, and it takes time to determine whether you are a qualified candidate. It is ... a lot. If a bariatric patient comes away from the prep work thinking this is a magic cure, they literally paid attention to nothing. I'm also dating someone who has had the surgery in the past, so I am very familiar with the aftercare.

Also, medical leeches are not fringe. Their use is not super common, but that is only because their use is very narrow. They are primarily used with reconstructive microsurgery. Fringe medicine is any treatment not widely accepted as part of western medicine.

While I don't love that definition as it can include traditional medicine in non-western cultures that do work, most use it for things like drinking salty cabbage water to reverse aging, wearing copper bracelets to ease arthritis pain, or sticking a slice of potato in your socks to cure a cold.

Chimneychonga:
My mistake, sorry about the leeches thing. I was lacking context when you said "leeches and bloodletting" and I was thinking third-world aftercare or unironic witch doctor stuff that's still being practiced in certain parts of the world. Using worms for sutures is pretty based, and although nano machines aren't a reality yet, this is pretty dang close.


Yeah, it's cool. This article goes into more detail if you care to know how it works:

uhhospitals.org/blog/articles/2020/03/how-leeches-can-save-lives-and-limbs-for-some-patients

But to return to the original topic of bariatric surgery, I do not foresee it going anywhere. Hell, as we speak, there are recent and ongoing advancements like endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, which involves reducing the stomach volume from the inside. This makes the overall procedure less invasive and safer than other forms of bariatric surgery.

Again, this is not to say bariatric surgery is better than taking semaglutide. I think there are a lot of people who would do better with weight loss medication over surgery or even take both together. This is to highlight that the surgery is here to stay as it is one of many tools people can use to manage their weight loss.
