the post-anorexic gainer.

Sometimes I wear clothes! Not often, but its been known to happen :o

I want to say no, I'll be sensible and reasonable and go 'this is enough, I am enough, this is a reasonable and sensible thing to stop and I can be comfortable and sustain this weight'

I want to ensure that you have access to everything you could possibly want to eat in unlimited portions at every second of the day. No encouragement, no implied pressure, no caregiving or control, no power dynamic, not even any suggestive comments about your diet. Just an endless and all-too-accessible supply of your favorite foods that enables you to overindulge at your own pace again, and again, and again, until your appetite and stomach capacity become so hypertrophied that you can barely go an hour without needing to gorge yourself again.

I want us to get to the point where we're both genuinely scared by just how much you eat, and how huge you've gotten, but cutting back is nigh on impossible. Your life revolves around consuming food, and mine around making sure that it's available for you.

I feel like I never know what to do with photos and facial expressions? Usually I just wind up accidentally doing some kind of vacant stare as I focus too much on trying to make sure my body looks decent.

But ngl this I love, like....body, face, everything. I feel pudgy and cute andattractive. So that feels pretty good. :)

Ok, so, using the broadest of generalisations here, because Australia's a big and diverse country and behaviours are generally more granular within smaller circles (insert standard 'cultivate the social circles and behaviours and boundaries you are comfortable with' speel here), but, while its true Australia does love a stereotype, its usually masked in gentle 'good-natured' joking and ribbing style banter.

We tend to affectionately call our mates 'big fella' and stuff like that, but in my experience at least (that experience being a white suburban boy, YMMV), we're generally much more comfortable criticising people behind their backs instead xD. But Australian social norms typically (again, there are many exceptions, but we're speaking broadly here) prefer to keep things light and joking and even criticism is usually heavily coached in humor - at most you'll occasionally get some gentle ribbing that may sometimes leave a bit of a bruise, but for the most part I think you'll be fine - especially coming from US norms, I think typically the US experience is that Aussie social norms are typically lighter and more relaxed and fun than what they're used to experiencing.
