You might be relieved to know that it's not a fetish. A fetish is "a sexual preoccupation with an inanimate object." Fat is living tissue. I hope this realization boosts your self-confidence the way it boosted mine.

From Dictionary.com.

fet·ish [fet-ish, fee-tish] Show IPA
noun
1. an object regarded with awe as being the embodiment or habitation of a potent spirit or as having magical potency.
2. any object, idea, etc., eliciting unquestioning reverence, respect, or devotion: to make a fetish of high grades.
3. Psychology . any object or nongenital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.

So yes, it can be called a fetish. Some people see it as one, some don't.

Welcome!! It's always good to have new faces to talk to! I'm also quite irritated by the done to death tv shows. Who would have thought that a show about driving trucks in winter or fishing could bring in so much money?! Blarg!

Hi my name is Colin, I'm 26 years old and live in Kansas. I discovered dimensions magazine homepage years ago, around 2000-01 and read alot of the stories. My whole life i've had a desire to gain weight and in past years my highest weight was around 224, and for the last 4-5 years i've been 185. Well, recently i realized that without trying i had gained up to 200 again

, so i've been trying again to see if i can break my old record.

I'm also interested in talking with like-minded folks as i'm surrounded by health nuts/vegetarians so need some support.

Name: Cori
Age: 23
Location: Adelaide, Australia
Profession: Tutor (High School Psychology and English) and occassion Research Assistant for Psych Studies (mostly behavioural psychology). Currently in University studying to be a High School Teacher, but for now, Tutoring helps pay bills... when the work is available.
Likes: Most things geeky, i'm heavily into Sci-Fi and Fantasy and spend a lot of my time reading or watching anime. I also like to cosplay (although that can be difficult considering the usual body shape of anime characters >.<) I also really like cake decorating, but i am still amature at it. I made a companion cube portal cake for my fiance's birthday last year that i was quite proud of. Creative writing is also my thing. I aim to one day have the time to sit down and write a series of short fantasy stories for children ^.^
Dislikes: Horror movies (i'm a wimp). Lasagne (My poor Nonna has a grandchild that doesn't like pasta) and bugs... anything that is creepy or crawly should be kept far out of my line of sight ^.^

I've spent a long time not being comfortable with my weight and who i am. But after spending my entire teenage years on diets surrounded by teeny tiny friends, i've finally started to like who i am and be confident within myself ^.^ I love my big body, and i'm happy to have found an entire community full of like-minded people! I lurked around the forums for a few days before deciding it's about time i joined up.

So... Hello out there! :P

Aust99 · 06-22-2012, 01:37 AM

Good to see a fellow Aussie and teacher ^.^ It's a wonderfully rewarding profession is it not?

wilndorf · 07-03-2012, 04:27 PM

Hi All-

I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking off and on for years.

My name is Helen and I am in my 50's. I'm a retired librarian and have been in the size-acceptance movement for about 26 years. I currently live in N. California, recently moved from Oregon.

I love organic gardening. My housemate, who is often fat (but trims down naturally in the summer) and I are working on the house and property to sell it when prices are better. We aren't gardening at the moment, but rather are just trying to keep the trees alive in this hot environment. We just aren't used to this climate and how difficult it is to get plants established and thriving.

I'm a Dr. Who nerd and love to laugh.

I'm still dealing with self-acceptance and often find it startling to see my reflection. My inner self-image is around a size 22, but the bod is around a size 34. Oh well.... :>

I enjoy reading what folks have to say. It gets very real and personal and dang I appreciate that. :>

I am about to post a question in the clothing forum about Sanctuarie clothing. I find their fabric too thin. The dress I just ordered is the wrong length (boo hiss!) and the armholes are absurdly large. I guess if I want something to fit, I will have to have it custom sewn.

I look forward to talking with you all.

Best regards,

Helen

Hi

I am just getting back out there if you see what I mean and just have found the whole idea of dating very daunting - people are mean! I have just lost a bit of weight (stress) but I am still a curvy size 22 (uk size)

I want to loose a bit more weight (health reasons only!) but not at the cost of my curves so I guess I am on here for some reassurance that I might be attractive to some one! I have very little self confidence behind a very big bravado. It will be good to talk to people who dont wanna be stick thin!
