One of the first concerns that most anyone has about
gaining weight to the point of obesity is their health and
well-being. In
this society, fat pretty much equals death. I know that that is a
phobic reaction, but the truth is being fat does carry its share of
risks. Sometimes thoughts of that can be exciting.. gaining
weight is doing something dangerous and naughty. Other times the
thoughts can be frightening. The thing is, although this activity
can be seen as self-destructive, I don't wish to die. The
attraction is in being totally transformed in a way that most others
would see as being ruined, and the loss of self-control, even in the
addictive aspects of it. My acceptance of the inevitable
consequences
swings back and forth.
It's something that I've been trying to come to
terms with it over the years. I've gradually come to the
conclusion that it's not something I should be too concerned
about. Some fat women are in perfect health, and others
not. It's all kind of a gamble. If the feeding is done
halfway sanely, then I wouldn't gain fast enough for rapid gain to
become much of an issue. Long term problems might arise from just
being large, yes, but I could also die in an accident tomorrow. I
started smoking while knowing full well of the risks involved with
that, and continue to in spite of everything because I still enjoy
it. And some people engage in extreme, risky sports and
activities.
I suppose gaining is similar to that. The possibility of health
problems
is just an unavoidable part of gaining and becoming morbidly
obese. In this force-feeding sort of situation, since I'd have no
choice except to get fat, I'd have no choice but to accept the risks as
well. If I gave up all control over my weight, I'd be giving up
all control over what happened as a result of it. I'd see it
coming, but I wouldn't be able to stop it; I could only either
lose weight or relax and let it all happen. Of course,
it's easy to think of it in these terms while I'm still small.
It's all theory and conjecture.
I mean, I know that at some point I'll have trouble walking long
distances, or discomforting standing for too long, or even have trouble
finding a seat that would fit me, but that's not like actually
experiencing it day after day. Once I was fat and the reality hit
me, I might not be so
agreeably fatalistic. I might panic, but it would be part of my
feeder's
job to soothe my fears, help me adjust to the changes, and work to keep
me
from calling it quits and stop growing.
There is a way to look at this in a positive light,
I suppose. To me, the fascination of being fattened up is not
just the weight and
fat
and eating but the whole package, everything that comes with being
supersized, even the ordinary or annoying things. I want it all,
the whole experience of being fat,
not just the size and joy of eating. I don't fantasize that I'm
somehow special and
will
live a life free of difficulties. I look forward (though not
without some fear) to becoming a
real life
supersize woman, not just some fantasy mental image, and I know I'll
have to endure the
things that
every other very fat person does, even if it ends up more than I
bargained for. I look forward to having my
body
start to
interfere with everything I do and having to learn to go about things a
different way.. the difficulties inherent with being a
very large size: more effort to tackle stairs, trouble getting
dressed, needing suitable furniture, having trouble standing
up out of a low chair, being hot all the time, walking becoming a
constant balancing act, or even
going to the bathroom a chore, requiring dressing and hygiene
aids. Strangely enough, in a certain way
I
even look
forward to the possibility physical
infirmities, like having aching feet and joints from the weight, edema,
roll
rashes, circulation trouble,
getting winded easily, and other problems that
extremely
supersize women have to cope with on a daily basis. I don't
actually want them, mind
you. If
I got fat and I never had a problem, I wouldn't be complaining.
Not having problems isn't realistic, though.
So I'm not eager for those
things to happen, but
I'll
know that if they do start to happen, being huge will no longer be a
fantasy but will
have become a day-to-day reality, and sometimes an uncomfortable
burden. It's all just a natural part of being that fat.
When I hear of a woman who is coping with these sorts of things, I
actually feel a sort of envy..
desiring, at least momentarily, to be in her place, to be able to
experience what it's like. Even if
something is alarming at first, I'd just
have to
get used to it and eventually accept it as a normal part of my
life. No more wondering what it feels like to be that big, but
instead truly being that big and whatever comes I'll just have to deal
with it, and
that's just how it is. In time, my feeder could even get me to
anticipate
these things, embrace them, celebrating them if and when they
occur. My weight
interfering and making things difficult would be a part of the bondage
imposed on me by becoming fat,
part of the submission. Being
obese will be a reality that's sometimes good and
sometimes bad, but always inescapable. I like the thought of
being slowly convinced and prepared by
my feeder until I began to eagerly look forward to them as part of my
journey; being told, "It's good
to have your size get in the way. It's good to have knees that
ache
beneath your weight. It's another sacrifice. You should be
happy
to accept these burdens
for the sake of your fat. It will mean
you're the right size when it happens, just the way I want you."
In time, it might be possible.
Of course, there are more serious health issues than
just aches and inconveniences.. things like cholesterol, arthritis,
blood pressure, heart problems,
diabetes,
cellulitis, etc. There's no way to get around the fact that I
would be eating my way, bite by bite, into a high risk group. One
can only hope
that these things can be
avoided. I certainly wouldn't want to be sick. I'm not sure
what would happen if something serious developed. Would I freak
out and stop? Would my feeder want to stop? Would my feeder
help me adjust to it as a part of life, treat the symptoms, and not
have me lose
weight if possible? In theory, I would like to think that my
surrender of
control over my weight would still apply even in extreme
circumstances. I would hope that my own dedication to that
submission would be strong enough to weather such things without me
wresting control away from my feeder. As long as a condition
could be lived with via diet changes or medication without requiring
weight loss, then my feeder would keep me fat: even if a problem
could be cured by my simply losing weight, I wouldn't be allowed to
lose weight so long as the problem wasn't life-threatening.
Again, in theory. Lots of things can
change unpredictably if medical problems start cropping up. It
would be best if these problems didn't have to be dealt with in the
first place. Hopefully the risks the can lessened with care,
preparation, and
forethought.
Then there's the concern of immobility, which I have
expressed as a limit. Sure, the fantasy of it is cool... stuck in
place by my own fat, growing nonstop without limit, utterly inundated
by billowing rolls of lard, the ultimate in bondage and not even
requiring restraints. I'd love to be able to experience that for
a little while. In reality, though, it's not for a little
while.
Once you're immobile, you're likely to stay that way, and I don't think
that would be a pleasant way to live for the rest of my life, health
issues aside. Lots of people say they'd like to make someone
immobile, but I don't think they've considered all the
ramifications. If you have an immobile person to take care of, it
would be like having a 700 pound baby. They would need constant
care
and attention, unable to do the simplest of things on their own.
They couldn't even get to the bathroom, and you'd have to take care of
that, too. You could never take a vacation from the 24 hour care,
even for a
weekend, unless you hired a nurse to tend to them. And imagine
the feedee's point of view.. if something happened to their feeder
(became ill, got in an accident, get fed up and left for good), then
they'd be stuck on their own, utterly helpless and alone. And if
there was some kind of
medical emergency that required a quick trip to the hospital, an
immobile person is pretty much outta luck. Not to mention never
being able to
get up and go outside, or even into another room. I don't think
I'd be very happy like that, not at all. And if I did get to be
that size and
changed my mind, it's not like I could wake up one day and
decide to no longer be fat. It's hard to exercise and lose weight
when you can't move. Pretty much the only option would be weight
loss surgery, and that's scary all by itself. The reason this is
a concern, even if I wasn't actually made immobile, is that I might be
left so close to it as to make it inevitable from slow gaining, an
accident, infirmity, or age. So, there would need to
be a large
enough buffer
zone there so that it wouldn't be a constant anxiety.
Even with a buffer zone in place, I realize there's
still a risk that immobility could happen anyway due to an accident or
even an out-of-control appetite (being left without the ability to stop
my eating). Since there's no way to predict accidents and since
losing self-control is part of what I'm looking for, that scenario is
less of a concern, as opposed to intentional immobility.
I also realize that it's a possibility that my
feeder could take advantage of
my vulnerable state and manipulate me into believing that I needed
to become
immobile, even though that would go against my limits as well as my own
best interests. That might have even been their secret intention
from
the start. They might convince me that I should never be allowed
to
stop eating
to gain, getting me to believe that I wouldn't really be a food addict
until I let my appetite have free reign regardless of all
consequences. They might convince me
that letting myself become immobilized by my feeder was
the ultimate act of submission, the ultimate sacrifice... or that I
couldn't call myself a true fatslave until I continued to gain even
after I was too fat to lift myself
out of bed. They might say that I wouldn't be a real feedee
unless I was willing to gain without limits. They might get me to
a point of desperately begging
to be made immobile for my feeder, even if I knew they had no intention
of taking care of me after I got there. I would regret it later,
but by then it'd be too late. They might have me
believing that I shouldn't experience life as a 'regular' supersize
woman, but rather that I needed to experience having the consequences
of gluttony follow their natural course by becoming
a perpetually bed-ridden woman who needed home nursing
assistance. The odds of that sort of thing happening are slim,
but it is a possibility. Still, it's a risk I'd be accepting by
letting myself become so large and dependent on a feeder. I could
only trust in my feeder not to manipulate me into something along those
lines.
On the far end of the health spectrum is the
likelihood
of a shorter life span. There's no way to avoid
considering that
supersize people just don't live as long, as a rule. Many might
consider gaining as a sort of
slow suicide, but that's not
how it is for me. I don't have a deathwish, despite the fact that
risky behavior can be exciting. A feeder has
to be
aware of this consequence of their actions. Although, since I'm
still young, things like that are almost beyond concept. It's
still
something I haven't fully come to grips with yet. It's scary to
think about, but it would be silly to pretend it wasn't the case.
It's something one can only ignore for so long. One could say
that people do risky, unnecessary behavior all the time, like skydiving
for example.. just in this case the goal would be to get very
fat. And I
have seen some dedicated feedees/gainers saying how they have accepted
that
a shorter life was just the payoff for being fat, and that they would
rather live a pleasurable, shorter life that was full of food
and fat instead of a longer, unfulfilled one without it. I can
certainly
understand that way of thinking, even if I don't fully embrace it
yet. I'd like it if that became my mindset, as it's the proper
mindset for a feedee to have, but that's still a ways
off. I know that in order to be a good fatslave and feedee,
it's something I must come
to accept. Again, it's one thing to say it and another thing
altogether
to experience it. It's just something I may be able to come
around to with a
feeder's
guidance. It's hard to say if I'd feel the
same way twenty years down the line and the consequences of my
fattening were staring me in the face.
Money can be an issue when one is very fat.
Frequent snacks and meals large enough for three can get expensive and
grocery bills can become prohibitive. Higher medical bills, while
undesirable, would likely have to be factored in as well. Even
large-size
clothes typically cost more than normal sizes. It's all quite
literally the price of being fatter. Hopefully a feeder would be
able
to chip in, but there would probably come a time when I had to take the
full burden upon myself. The food expenses might
lessen after I was finished gaining and switched to a
maintanence diet in place of a gaining diet, but even then it would
still be drastically higher than it is right now. With no chance
of eating less, I would just have to figure grocery bills as making up
a large part of my budget. Strangely, this doesn't bother me as
much as it might otherwise. While it's a concern, it also has its
own slight appeal. Having to pay more for excess food could be
another
sacrifice to feeding. A sort of financial submission on top of a
physical submission. I am willing to have to pay more for
plus-size clothes, just like every other fat woman. I might have
to forego other luxuries just
to pay for an increased appetite, but when it came down to a choice, my
stomach would always win. There's some part of me that likes the
thought of having to write a large check at the grocery store, knowing
that it would all be going towards filling my belly and possibly making
me even fatter. Every time I had to give something up for more
food,
it would be a reminder of the sacrifices I was making to be fat.
I would be paying to keep myself in fatty bondage for life, which in
itself is kind of humiliating.
I'm also worried about what friends and relatives
would think of my massive weight gain, the old 'what would they
think?'. It might seem like a small
thing, but it's daunting to me. I don't even want to think about
it. Having people who know you see
you 'change for the worse' is a whole lot different than strangers
seeing you. It would be embarrassing and impossible for them to
understand. I know for some people that sort of
humiliation/attention is part of the fun, but I don't know if I could
ever enjoy that. I can only assume that if I had the right
feeder, I would be more interested in gaining for them than in anyone's
opinion
of me. Still, it's hard to imagine what it would be like coping
with it and the emotional effects on me, so it's a valid concern.
One of my fears with gaining weight is
the
likelihood of having to remain single for life. Naturally, the
thought of always being lonesome is scary. The majority of very
fat people out there are single. Being TG, I have enough trouble
finding relationships without adding being middle-aged and obese into
the mix. Honestly, I am no model. I'm only barely
attractive now, and there's no point in deluding myself into thinking
that a couple hundred pounds of fat will improve on that. I know
I will never become a pretty bbw, like some are. Not trying to
insult myself, just being realistic. At the absolute best, I
might turn out average. That's the best I can hope for, to be an
average fat woman. And even so, I'll have to deal with
it if I turn out below average, ending up downright ugly. I
haven't had any facial feminization surgery, and I'm not sure it would
even be worth it if my face was just going to get covered in fat,
anyway. Also, counting on a feeder to stick around forever would
probably lead to
disappointment. A feeder might not stay long
after I've reached their goal and they can't fatten me anymore (without
breaking limits), if
fattening someone is their driving interest. They'd move on to
skinnier, more fattenable pastures. Even if they did stay, how
long do
most relationships last? A few years? Sooner or later, I'd
end up single and
fat, which is not normally an enviable lot. I'm used to being
alone.. I almost always have been. I've learned to deal with it
okay. Yet, one always assures oneself that that will someday
change. It's a worrying
prospect to know that after I got fat, that would probable never
change.
But that provides an example of how my thought
process works, and how something negative like the fear of remaining
alone can be almost a positive. For instance, perhaps it should
not be something feared, but rather
anticipated? Since most overweight, middle-aged women are single
and are able cope it with, why shouldn't I? I shouldn't expect to
be
special or deserve more than any of them. If I so strongly desire
to be like other fat women, should I not accept this as part of
it? I would simply be experiencing the same thing that other
obese women dealt with- the possibility of growing old fat and
alone.
Having to remain single is just an possible side-effect that
comes with being fat, the same as developing aching knees, having large
grocery bills, or health issues: not
something that's desired but simply stuff that comes with the
package. Part of the payoff, the consequences. If
I want the pleasurable aspects and joys of being fat, then I have to
embrace everything else- the difficulties and sacrifices- that comes
with it. If looked at from that point of view, remaining single
would be the same as the fat-induced celibacy mentioned
elsewhere.
Even though it could sometimes lonely and frustrating, if I reached a
state
where being fat kept me single then I would know I was truly no
different from the rest of the fat women out there (except in that I
became one intentionally)- which is how I want a feeder to make
me.
If I accepted it as inevitable, then I could be made
aware that my feeder would be leaving me on my own
once I reached their goal and I wouldn't have to worry about it (if
that was the
intention from the start). It wouldn't
be abandonment since it would be part of the deal. The feeder
wouldn't have to feel guilty about it, since I'd know from the start it
would be this way, and I would have plenty of time to prepare for
it. The whole time while I was being fed, my feeder might assure
me that I was
going to have to remain single once they were done transforming me,
that it was just an unavoidable part of the person I was
becoming.
With every single pound gained, I would know that
I would appeal only to a shrinking percent of the population
and
that my chances for a relationship would be lessening with every
mouthful.. and that's at
relatively smaller sizes. Once I hit my feeder's goal, I would be
a supersize, approaching-middle-age woman that only a tiny percent
would ever find attractive. My fattening would have rendered me
virtually undate-able; my feeder would have taken me permanently
'off the market'. I wouldn't
be able to do a thing about it even after my feeder had left me.
Ironically, my desire to be made unable to diet and
lose weight would also keep my helplessly stuck at a size that would
consequently
insure that I stayed single. There wouldn't be too many people
interested in me at that size, and fewer still interested after I began
to age. I would be very aware that, with each
year
that passed, I would have less of a chance of finding romance than the
year before. And every year I spent being supersized would make
it that much more difficult to do
something about it if I wanted to. I would be getting
increasingly
used to being that size all the time; the habits ever more deeply
ingrained. With the passing of each year, the mirror would
show that I was becoming more and more the waddling old matron that had
always been
my fate. Before I knew it, I'd hit
middle-age or older and know that any chance of attracting someone had
long since
passed, along with any possibility of undoing what had been done to
me. It would eventually sink in that, whether I came to accept it
or not, I
was going spend the rest of my life alone with only my fat belly, food,
and a
vibrator to
keep me company
in bed.
Not that all this
is necessarily a bad thing or would come as a shock. I would have
known all this would happen even while I was still being fattened and
would have had lots of time to get used to the idea. I might even
grow to look forward to it. It could be liberating to never again
have to worry if I would ever find the right someone, since I'd never
have
anyone, right or not. It might even be comforting to that have
that uncertainty removed from my life; a kind of peace in being unable
to stray from the path that was laid out for me, and I would strive to
find happiness with my lot as a fat, aging, single woman. I
wouldn't have to worry about the stress of dating or the effort of
trying to make myself look appealing. When I
got lonely, I could
always turn to food or plutonic relationships. Not only might I
be unable to physically
pleasure myself, I would be unable to even have someone to do it for
me. My fat-forced celibacy and spinsterhood would keep me in a
state of frustrated bliss that I could only relieve with food. It
might even be a part of the submission to feeding and Being Fat;
the knowledge that giving over control of my weight also meant
sacrificing all future relationships would make the act all the more
precious. My feeder would've made it so that my private life
would always remain free of the distractions of intimate relationships,
so that
I would have no choice but to focus on the pleasures of eating and
being fat, like
some kind of nun in a fat-worshiping convent. The soft bondage of
my fat
would keep intimacy at bay and isolate me within itself, jealously
keeping me to
itself, not allowing me to share my attentions.
From the above example you can see how easily I can
eroticize just
about everything about being fat. Even some of the most serious
concerns can have a silver lining when looked at from a certain point
of view. With enough patience and the
right ideas, a feeder might be able to use that tendancy to soothe all
my fears and worries.
I suppose that the fear of many of these things
could be lessened
by a belief in fate or destiny. The belief that whatever happens
to me
only happened because it was meant to happen. If something bad
happened or serious issues developed, it wouldn't be a case of bad luck
or losing to the odds, but simply my destiny fulfilling itself.
Like,
if I'm destined to be fat, then it's going happen one way or the
other even if I try to resist it. If my weight resulted in me
ending up in a wheelchair, for
instance,
then
that too was meant to happen... that I was supposed to experience life
as a
wheelchair-bound, obese woman and there was nothing I could have done
to avoid it. Similarly, if I lived a long, trouble-free life, or
developed some condition, or became immobile, or was lonely, or even
died prematurely, then that was just the way it was meant to be.
Though for
what reason, I couldn't say. It might not all be happy and
pleasant,
but at least I'd know I was fulfilling my purpose. That's a
somewhat
comforting thought. There would be no point in needless worry or
regrets. My only duty would be to let go, indulge and overeat
like I
was supposed to, and let my destiny reveal itself.
