Wrote this a bit ago, think it's hot. Warning; it's a sort of cannibalism thing but primarily about weight gain.

Man, it's weird seeing someone else save a greentext you made. This is real. If I recall, I also posted about another girl I saw only two times in uni:
>First time, met her before Physics class, we'd both show up ridiculously early.
>Every goddam time she'd be talking about food.
>Halfway through the semester she was complaining about how tight her jeans were and was conflicted between getting all new clothing and working out more.
>Midway through class she hunched over and then rushed to the bathroom and I pieced together that the button on her jeans blew open.
>Didn't see her again until a scholarship talk that we both happened to be in two years later.
>She entered the door sideways.
>Sat down and her ass just spilled over the sides. I think even if she sat over two chairs she still wouldn't've fit.
>Her friend said, "Uhm, I didn't know whether you were still trying to diet or not, but they have free food."
>She looked at her and said, "Does it LOOK like I'm trying to diet?" and then proceeded to eat an ungodly amount of tacos as people were leaving.
The point of me posting those stories wasn't to create some amazing greentext fetish material (although I welcome it), it was me complaining about bbw models. I went on this huge rant afterwards alone the lines of, "Why the fuck are there models who are doing this professionally and suck money from everyone who can't seem to hold a candle to women I've known irl who aren't even trying and are a million times more amazing?!"

My guy, if this isn't just some dark fap rp, I'm gonna be real: The world and reality isn't as hot as the fantasy and never will be. "What's the point (not gaining)?" Survival. That's the point. Listen, I say this as a currently 230lb fat ass who got a gym membership to get in shape and attract all the ssbbws I could desire: You just have to say 'fuck it' and do it. To stay doing it, stay motivated. Take pics of your progress, if you're a feedee, it'll be especially hard but also if resist touching yourself (since you can't this is easier to do, but I mean WHEN you get smaller) it should help control your binge eating. Also, stick to a specific something for a WHILE. My coworker got jacked eating McDonalds and the dude has veins popping out like Ubisoft Map Icons. You're meant to learn to hate the same taste every. Single. Day. If it makes you depressed, exercise. Legit, push yourself on those days. It'll hurt and you'll be VERY sore (make sure to get plenty of protein) but trust me when I state; you WILL feel better afterwards if you say, focus on cleaning the trash around your place. I'm gonna stop here, since this is long enough already, but trust me when I say: You don't want to kill yourself this way, dude. Take some of the FATTEST models out there, for instance. You think they put out every day to their feeders? No, because they're so damn fat just lifting their fupas makes them too tired for stuff like sex. The bad knees, the lack of breath, the more-than-likely diabetes, the pain; this all goes away when you're thinner. You don't even need to be thin, but fit. And I think you know just how painful vs sexy it is at your current size, hmm? Fit people can have PLENTY of pudge (had a 240-ish ex who was SURPRISINGLY flexible thanks to mix of Yoga and Tai-chi). Your life isn't destroyed, you're just spiraling to destruction. You can ALWAYS turn back with enough hard work. But only you can choose to do it, fatso.

Maybe for you. I got diagnosed with diabetes not too long ago and it was so hot a feeder and I considered fucking on the exam table when the nurse stepped out. And when I get too fat for sex to be a regular occurrence, the anticipation will make those occurrences that much more meaningful. I'm 260+ and growing by the day and I've never been happier.

My instinct is to say fake, larping, etc. but if not then good for you femanon. Don't let society decide what is success because that will only ever be money - if photography and painting makes you happy that's what matters.

Thanks anon, gotta work on my anatomy, but its fun bizz i dont wanna sound like that, but i kinda been teasing the idea of drawing fat fucks on twitter for the sake of it to like, represent apple-shaped bodies or something, i dont want to get distracted with fetish stuff tho, much less be one of those art students that draw themselves naked to make a posh statement towards beauty standarts but yeah, i think i can actually see myself living well and happy by being an artard, moreso photography wise, its less sedentary and more immediately fun sorry for rambling btw

Mostly city scenery that i thought would make a sick photograph or wallpaper, i try to go for strange angles, but its hard because i cant bend nor rise my arms for long, but i manage im still barely coming back to it, but i honestly think ive still got it Dont think what i did could be considered gaining on purpouse, but..

>Sporadically binge eat and go outside wearing tight clothes because it made me horny
>Keep sort of going back and forth with weight lost, succeeding some times, but then slowly gaining back and reaching new milestones every year
>600lbs this year, 570 last. I still remember when i was all bummed out about reaching 500.
Gaining weight has sort of never made me happy, its more of a friendsalong the way kind of pleasure. I have suffered a lot over it my whole life, but kind of always got over it and kept enjoying it and adapting to new circumstances. I dont remember caring in particular about stuff like not being able to reach my pussy or shit like that, i mostly felt unhappy when my parents, nutriologist, doctor or therapist gave me scolded me and gave me an earful, or were angry or sad, those were probably the worst i was the most stressed back when i was losing the ability to reach my rear, methinks. Like, im into slob and humilliation and all, but having my mother try to approach the subject delicately was horrible, for both of us, i think we were terrified of me becoming a "my 600lbs life "case. Ngl, anything after 530lbs has been kinda entirely unwelcome, but aparently not so much to inspire a serious change. 425 to 500's was probably the toughest dang, i shouldve used the greentext format, otherwise this would be more of a /gen/ thing

Have you tried using a selfie stick? Could help get those angles without the effort. Of course if you use an actual Camera it won't work - maybe there's something similar? Sorry to hear how stressful it's been. Some of that sounds so mortifying.

I dont think itd work well, because you cant see what you are taking a picture of, and if your hand shakes you are screwed . I struggle plenty with shakiness from my pulse and breath. And i think i would need to rise my arms eitherway, which beats the purpouse, the issue is my arms getting tired, and my clothes moving in compromising ways when i do raise my arms, can be kinda hawt but its not much fun if you are in a park or something anyway, sent fr

Looking for the one where anon hooks up with someone so big that he doesn't even realize they were a boy, until he describes the person to someone who's like "Oh, you mean Andrew?" Pretty sure it was a name that started with A.

Does anyone have that greentext from maybe 2016 of the guy who was a cook at a restaurant and this mom and daughter came in and the daughter ate an absurd amount of food? The guy thought it was a bunch of guys pulling a prank. Also, any similar stories to that would be sick.
