🧠Mindset Matters!

👀You won't find studies to say 'feeling like you're not fat enough' will increase weight gain- but studies DO show mental perspective affecting the body in countless ways- so let's shape your perspective to pack on weight!

📈⚠️DISCLAIMER: These tips are largely extrapolating the ways your subconscious effect you, so know this isn't directly backed up! However, due to the lack of scientific interest in intentional obesity... Extrapolating from related studies is the best we'll get

🍝EXCEPT THIS ONE: Use larger plates! Weight loss studies show you'll get full less quickly if you eat from larger plates and bowls, since your brain sees the portion sizes as more 'normal.' eat out of a cooking pot or mixing bowl if you can!

👘Wear oversized clothes! You'll more easily feel like your body isn't big enough if you're not stuffed tight into your clothing all the time, shifting your subconscious to see your body as having room to grow

☺️Stay comfy! The less your body struggles, the more you'll feel comfortable growing. Ironically there are two ways to go about this:

〰️🦵The healthier option being to spend a little time doing squats and other light calisthenic strength training to make moving your heavier body feel easier, so there's less strain telling your body and mind you've gotten too heavy

〰️🦥The reckless gaining option is to move as little as possible, so that your body more rarely feels the increased strain of moving your heavier self. This has the extra benefit of burning fewer calories, at the expense of health

〰️🛋️If you want that second option, set up your space so that as many if your needs are in as small a space as possible, and potentially use a wheeled chair to move around. These tips have been gone into in further detail before on this blog if you want more advice !

👥Shift your perspective- try to look at very, VERY, large bodies as often as possible. This might seem silly, but what you see deeply affects your subconscious perspective of your own body. If you're spending several hours a day staring at people fatter than you, your subconscious will see gaining weight as far more reasonable than if you're fatter than everyone you ever see. Browse Feedist Tumblr, set the background on your PC to someone very fat (or better yet, a slideshow of them), use mods to fatten video game characters- whatever you can get away with without embarrassing yourself, add fat bodies to it

🧘‍♀️Use affirmations! Yes, affirmations seem silly and new agey- but studies show they can have real effects. Here are some affirmation options:

〰️🍕Try telling yourself you're so hungry while eating, or that you need to eat more, no matter how full you get. Or even get more direct, and tell yourself you CAN eat more

〰️🤰While digesting tell yourself you're getting fatter, or need to get fatter. Tell yourself you're getting hungry again, and you'll be eating more soon.

〰️🪞If dysphoria isn't a concern for your mental state, try grabbing your belly in the mirror and telling yourself it's too small, and/or that you need to be fatter or should be fatter. If it feels easier or more effective, try to positive "I will get fatter"

〰️🗣️Whatever feels right- saying these things in your head when I'm public helps, but when you can get away with it, saying affirmations out loud (and with a certain tone) is usually far more effective. Even if the less positive options feel easier to commit to mentally, try and end with positive (I will or I can statements) for the greatest effect! Speaking of effective...

〰️📢If you're submissive, chances are your subconscious might be vulnerable to suggestion. If you have a partner, consider asking them to help with your affirmations, phrasing them as commands if you feel it will help more! (as always, safe words can be a good idea, even if it's unlikely to be needed)

💬Lastly: talk to feeders and feedees! The more you talk to people who also have a skewed perspective of normal, the less your unconscious mind will see the way you love your life and eat as abdnormal, making it easier to commit to your lifestyle!
