i’m a non-binary person who has been into gaining and feeding for a few years now but i’ve never really had the chance to do it myself. i’ve been eating a lot over the past few days and it’s really starting to show now :3
What’s Thanksgiving without constant eating and filling your stomach to the brim? With how much you all enjoyed how round I got last time, I decided to bloat myself yet again, but this time with more mentos and double the soda~
I really got big this time, to the point that I had to sit back and pant for a bit as I tried to soothe my swollen tummy that sat on my lap. My shirt was about to ride up, my belt was begging to be popped open, and my belly couldn’t stop groaning~
Does it look like I ate a whole Thanksgiving meal? Or do you think I could fit more?
I’d just look down and see my plump belly stick out! If I wanted to move, I’d had to have one hand under my tummy to keep it stable and not wobble around with how tight it was 🙈
Just look how tight it got! I could barely make a dent! Bloated to the brim~ Oh, how much my belly craved for belly rubs… Imagine if this was me coming out of a Thanksgiving stuffing session instead~
Don’t be afraid in sending me a little message of how much of a piggy I look hehe did I do a good job? 🥺
