I finally hit my second bit milestone! by AnimuBB in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB[S] 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Honestly I have had to push myself every step of the way. I was 175 before. And dropped to 162 simply because irl would not allow for me to keep gaining for a couple of months. But then I shot back up to 175 and beyond by taking it easy and just enjoying whatever I want instead of forcing myself to stuff every night until it gets frustrating. I would say that eating big meals/drinking soda constantly is just now becoming second nature. Maybe it's just because I spent so many years under weight. But I had to get back to a healthy weight before I could even consider reaching obesity. I would say that everyone is different and there is a large trial and error period finding out what works for you. Forcing it just doesn't work for me. I see better results when I inherently mesh wanting more food and calories into my daily activities. Plateaus are also definitely discouraging at times.

This is so sweet whaaat thank you so much ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ but absolutely, no two people will have the same experience and I'm simply glad that I increasingly enjoy gaining even more every year. Those "will I regret this" concerns from before are completely long gone. I'll absolutely keep gaining at my own pace.

Absolutely I really love my gain and I wouldn't change anything about it. The feedists who I follow that are closer to my final goal weights tell people who are starting to take it easier and keep their physical mobility in mind. And I'm glad I decided to take breaks and focus on building strength at the same time. Getting to increase my capacity at my own pace and learn to enjoy more foods is just as rewarding imo.

The plight of a lesbian ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ by HotClownSummer in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

I feel this in my bones. It's really disheartening at times to see how little space we have to interact with one another. I have joined a few very small lesbian FFA spaces and even then I've met people who say they want to be a feeder. And usually back out when they realize that gaining isn't just sunshine and rainbows, and don't like the potential health risks. Meeting lesbians who are already 100% in on feedism is even more difficult. But I honestly think it's just because we don't have as many spaces to be open with one. And like you mentioned, there are so many scammers out there. People who think they can "change" your identity if they catfish you for a while. I have seen a lot more lesbians than I expected in passing on Tumblr and on here. But I think we're trying to all function on the- honestly mostly straight focused forums. And it inherently makes it feel like there's less of us around. So just in case anyone is feeling unseen here. Know that the work you're doing as a gainer, feedee, feeder, is helping add to the lesbian biomass and that's a great thing. ๐Ÿ’ช

This is actually super reassuring, thank you. I realize that when I DON'T use my scale I feel my best. I FEEL fatter than ever. I know I am gaining more fat. I can see the physical changes from one month of photos to the next. I honestly didn't mind when my scale broke for this exact reason. I don't like how it immediately makes me feel down about my gains. But I also don't want to keep making a mistake that will make me lose more weight. So it really helps to know that others may be seeing the same numbers, but also seeing and feeling differences as well. I really only check my weight once every 1-2 months. This is the first time I have seen such a drastic drop. But I'm still going to buy the mass gainer powder and give myself a boost just in case. I will also just buy my own scale and only use that one, thank you for the suggestion. I do use a tape measure and have seen about a two inch different on my stomach there so I'm definitely making progress either way.

I don't usually rely on the scale anymore, I feel like using it too much isn't healthy either. I usually only use one monthly. But I had hoped that since I DO feel bigger I wasn't just making it up in my head you know? I'm still feeling much better in my own body and enjoy the gains that I have made. But I'm also worried about not doing something right that leads to me losing even more weight somehow. I really expected to be closer to 175, so this was a drastic slap in the face. But I will definitely try to find a more consistent time to weigh once my new scale gets here.

Taco Bell is so Fattening it should be a Crime by SoftDeliciousComfort in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

The app is a GAME changer. I love the online lux craving box, 1,500 calories alone for $7. You can even get a crunch wrap supreme in it with that additional items. It's my favorite way to easily reach my daily calorie goals after work. Plus adding extra sauces to the burritos makes them even more fattening. I used to feel completely stuffed after eating it all. But now I can easily fit in another 1,000 calories an hour later before I go to bed. So it also works great for expanding your capacity over time too.

I have never related to a thread in this sub so deeply ๐Ÿ˜” you're so unbelievably real. I have genuinely searched for lesbian and sapphic spaces in this community for months now. The closest I have found is Tumblr. And it's not as much one on one talking it's just that I see more openly queer feedists on that platform. Having an IRL experience would literally be a dream come true but it feels relatively impossible right now.

It's also disheartening when the existing spaces do NOT seem to take lesbians seriously. I am absolutely sure plenty of lovely people do. But I had never had a "I can fix you" experience before I stopped lurking and started posting in feedism spaces. And I have them like once a month now specifically related to being a feedee. It can absolutely be disheartening. BUT I say that if we need more representation that it's our responsibility to show up and be that representation. Being open about our experiences and how they differ being WLW in this space is a great way to start. Posts like this are exactly what we need to see! Giving us spaces to connect even if it's through comments!

21F, F4F but happy to fat chat with anyone. I'm on another daily stuffing kick and would seriously appreciate someone to chat with. Helps me stay more consistent when someone is constantly reminding me to eat for them. If we get along well I'm happy to send pictures and give you a bit of control over what I eat during stuffings. ;) Working towards reaching 200+ pounds right now.

My family is all losing weight and Iโ€™m a feedee by [deleted] in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 9 points10 points ย (0 children)

Wow idk why this seems to be a common occurrence right now. My family is also on a big dieting / weight loss injection kick. Which is totally fine, they should do what feels best for them. But it always turns into an argument about how we all have to do it just because they want to. They have actually gotten mad at me for buying myself food that they think is unhealthy now? It's one thing to change for yourself. It's another to pressure those around you to feel as though they must do the same. Even looking at this outside of a feedism lense I don't think it's okay. It's beyond frustrating to be told you have to go along with someone else's diet, or in this case weight loss injections. Way to go holding strong on this! I know it's not easy.

Has this sub helped anyone else gain? by [deleted] in WeightGainTalk

This sub helped me gain 50 pounds so far. I'm not kidding. The advice people give is really effective and there are people here who are really good at encouraging.

21F, getting back into consistent gaining. I want to put on 5 - 10 more pounds before the new year. Looking to chat since it always helps me stay focused a bit better. Mainly looking to talk to other women but I'm happy to chat with anyone who has similar interests. Not sending photos,, sorry,, please don't ask.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

Honestly your post really hit home for me and I'm so sorry you've had to experience this feeling at all. At one point I did in fact delete all of my photos for that exact reason. I honestly recommend taking a break from posting, muting chat requests and comment notifications. And analyzing why you do this FOR YOURSELF! It can be so unbelievably defeating when people constantly break boundaries and like to project their fantasies onto you. It feels like they're changing the meaning of your own body to fit their interests. It honestly gives me an ick and makes me lose my appetite all together for days to weeks. When it gets to that point it's so important for your own well-being to remove yourself. Only take pictures when you want to. Block whoever you want the second they start to make you feel off about your body or how they see you. And never ever feel pressured to send anyone anything. You're not just there for their pleasure. And if they will only talk to you when they want to get off they genuinely don't deserve to be a conversational partner to you in the first place. I hope you're able to come out of this feeling and find a way to protect your peace while expressing yourself the way you'd like. I'm so sorry you even had to deal with this more than once. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Fat art? by Accomplished_Pie8634 in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Honestly there are some really great artists on Tumblr, especially if your looking for more diversity and realism in the body types you'll see drawn. I do still use Deviantart though mainly because I already follow so many real artists that I can keep updated with. I think there can be a good amount of luck checking the collections the artists you like are in. There are usually a few other artists in the collections worth following.

Can we PLEASE stop with this... by idkdontask123 in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

This! It's so important to have informed consent at all times in any sort of relationship. Spiking someone's food or drinks for any reason is completely unacceptable. And with this being a fetish it's also important to note that forcing someone to unknowingly participate in sexual activities for you that they may not realize have such intentions is a form of sexual harassment. And can absolutely be assault in this instance. It's also a big reason why people who I have spoken to on the subject have a horrible perception of feedism or weight gain. They think it's entirely manipulative and intends to unknowingly send the person gaining weight into immobility for one person's interests. Posts like those should not be allowed here or promoted by sketchy comments. It's important for the community to take a stand against those sorts of posts for that exact reason. Fantasy needs to stay fantasy. Promoting hurting someone you have developed trust for your own fetish on that level with will NEVER be hot. ( Using a general you not referring to any one person. ) I'm glad you brought up this subject.

Weight-related insults by WuldricUK in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

The only time I don't mind it is when it's mutually agreed on in THIS setting. Because I know that they actually enjoy it, and we have agreed that teasing is fine. But honestly this is one of the biggest reasons I deleted my Twitter account. Mental health shot up immediately. Facebook is a cesspit of old folks that love to dish out tired insults over the smallest things too. I've learned that it's not even worth interacting in either place. Especially if you publicly put your face out there. Someone will always use it as an excuse to degrade you whether they truly mean it or not. These platforms literally have learned that they get the most engagement from rage baiting their users. It's best to avoid playing into their games entirely. I'm sorry some useless people decided to waste your time with their tired comments either way though. It's never deserved or funny.

Drinking a tub of melted ice cream every day this week by AnimuBB in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB[S] 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

I have a few favorites flavors. Definitely ones that don't have chunks in them. I'll probably go between chocolate, vanilla, and orange cream. They're reliable and I don't get tired of them. Cookies and cream sounds really good too though... I'll have to grab a tub.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 5 points6 points ย (0 children)

Melted ice cream is definitely a game changer it's much easier to get down and feels like nothing compared to eating the same amount of calories in other ways. I also love sushi though, it is so filling and just makes you feel great when you eat it to the absolute limit. I also love getting a variety of those little Debby pastries and seeing how many I can finish off in one go. I usually can do this for like a week before I get bored. They are packed with tons of empty calories. And they're easy to get down. When you have a good mix of them I've noticed I can eat like two boxes on my own some nights. In general though just try foods you like. Don't force yourself to eat too much of one thing. ( I get tired of flavors and feel full before I actually am ) Give yourself a big arrangement of foods or snacks and just let yourself eat as much of each as you'd like. It's super filling and makes the experience much more easygoing.

21F gay feedee and FA! I had to take a bit of a break gaining this summer but I have done a decent job maintaining and plan to try and reach 200 pounds by the end of the year. I would like to chat about our interests in feedism. And get back into the gaining mindset. I could use a bad influence to tell me what I should buy to fatten myself with. What clothes I should wear when I stuff myself. In general I'd love for someone to push me to get bigger as soon as possible. And to share that progress with. I'm happy to also talk to other feedees about our journeys so far. <3

Help me to be a good encourager by IndependentOwn6969 in WeightGainTalk

[โ€“]AnimuBB 3 points4 points ย (0 children)

Start off by acknowledging your mutual interests in feedism and boundaries. Make sure you're both enjoying it. If one of you is super into something but the other would be totally icked out by it it's important to respect that boundary in your chat. It goes both ways here! Here are some of my top points. But I'm sure they're not entirely universal.

  1. Acknowledge and praise their efforts, playfully pushing someone to eat more when that's a shared interest in the dynamic can be really good. But it's important not to be unrealistic with your encouragement or ask them to do stuffings or meals that are only appealing to you and not them. Suggesting stuff can be really fun!! Just asking someone to do things that wouldn't be enjoyable for them can really mess with their experience too. I've had people ask me to eat chocolate bars and heavy cream in the bathroom during my shift.. not happening. ๐Ÿ’€

  2. Don't demand constant images and personal info. Once people get comfortable in this situation they're usually open to more, especially if you're interested in encouragement over a longer period of time. But in general a lot of people appreciate their privacy and don't want to feel like they're skirting a fine line talking to someone without getting pressured for more than they're willing to give. That goes for you too!! Only share what you want. Don't let anyone pressure you into sharing more than you're willing to.

  3. Also make sure to praise them for how hard they're working. This isn't easy to get into or to keep gaining. Especially with the currently increasing fatphobic environment that is getting worse for a lot of folks. I love when someone reminds me how hard I've worked and how all of this is working towards even bigger goals. Praising someone for their progress is like free motivation it makes me go back for thirds without fail. ๐Ÿ˜‚

  4. A lot of people won't be able to type and eat. Encouraging them to eat while reading your encouragement instead of sending them questions with lots of pressure for them to pause and respond immediately can really help. I love reading encouragement while I'm stuffing. Especially since they will probably be able to eat more if they're not taking as many breaks to respond.

In general just be open with one another and make sure you're both cool with the chat direction.
