The idea of going to a mobility scooter fitting. Imagine crossing the immobility boundary and being rewarded with a personalized scooter. Sitting in a test seat to see if your shelf ass is supported, make sure it’s wide enough to allow your thighs to swell with more intoxicating fat. Make sure your belly has enough clearance for the handles to drive around. The salesperson asking what kind of suspension do you need as a growing girl. Choosing a color to express yourself. Making sure it has snack and drink storage so when you are out you are never hungry or thirsty. Ensuring it’s not too high off the ground so you can step onto it. Imagine having a stand up assist like a recliner so your bloated body can get up without help or be transferred to a wheelchair. It could be an event like a wedding dress. Taking some friends and family to the meeting to see your blob self be weighed measured and tended to as you submission to feedism becomes whole.
I love this so much, unbelievably hot

Zootopia where Anyone can be anything, ZPD (Zootopia Police Department), There’s a faint sound far from distant until it’s getting closer and closer, you can hear loud annoying stuttering as an 4’5”, 33yrs old woman and weights 600lbs Morbidly Obesity dog-humanoid female figure on mobility scooter, she squeezed her fat ass into her chair, ass-flesh hanging down from the edges of the seat, it groans under Darla’s heaviest weight, the wheels sag and bend. The back of the seat gets pushed back by Darla’s asscheeks, The mobility scooter going down a few inches, Darla’s belly was filling her lap, spilling further down her legs, and even covered the steering wheel, her football with chubbier paws/feet feet rest on board, the steering wheel almost covered in the middle of her both upper and lower belly, Darla digging her left pawed hand to try to fix her tight panties from being wedge up because of her “bigger than bowling balls” asscheeks using her left pawed/hand, it gives super tight wedge from between of her asscheeks, “Her fairly large doughy sloshing double belly with the standard indent towards the bottom that makes it look like a butt” belly flops over her legs and knees when she sitting down, her light gray-brownish button-down shirt cover her bottom belly, it wobbles when she barley waddle, her belt are buckle it up so tightly. Her breasts was DD's like sacks of flour and were struggling to stay, her “Security Guard” button-down shirt sleeves strengths from her “very hammy lower arms but upperarms fattening like fatten hams that her arms got so fat that resemble sausage fattening hams that slowly engulffing her lower arms” upperarms, Her legs got so fat that resemble largest sausage hams that slowly engulffing her lower legs like her arms, her two small single-chevron collar pins barley leaves it open because her neck and chins, you can see her gold-tinted badge because her belly is in the way, so Darla move to top short where her chest poking out, her oval patch featuring a silver police-style badge is covered in pizza sauce and Donut crumbs and frostings, and you can see her 30 back rolls hidden from back of her t-shirt, fatten sausage fingers with chubbier hands and fatter face with heavy chin and double chin was starting to appear on her fat face, you can see her asscheeks poking out from her sagging pants. Darla had very big eyebag marks under her eyes, 20 wrinkles on her forehead. Darla drives up the ramp and went inside ZPD from opening double doors that open by itself
Everyone in ZPD looked at her and how she was in unofficial clothes to welcome the new rookie, Judy Hopps waddle to Darla offering her some donuts while showing a new outfit so she can look good for the rookie. Judy have been spending a lot of time with Clawhouser as she no longer was a slim skinny bunny but was now a fine obese bunny. Hours was passing and once the clock hit the time of 9:06am the rookie come in, her 360.50lbs body passed through the wide double doors, her back is covered by fat rolls, her legs have fat rolls over fat rolls that cover her hoofs that don't fit in her boots, her pants are too tight on her legs and her belly is so big and fat that made her shirt spread and hold by the buttons. She was the fattest giraffe everyone in ZPD saw in the whole Zootopia and police departament

You used the scooter at the store for the first time today. "don't you think" *huff* "that's for actual" *wheeze* "fat people?" you said obviously flushed and sweaty after being dropped off at the door to the store, then taking a break on the bench oitside, and then walking from the bench to the cart station less than 10 normal paces away. This journey however took you the entire time it took me to pull our accessable minivan into a stall and walking in behind you.
"You're just feeling a little worn down today, these are for their customers' comfort. Don't you think you'd be more comfortable sitting than standing? I know your knees have been giving you grief today." I said. A reluctant thump as you shoved your double wide ass into the single wide seat.
I didn't tell you what I saw from behind as I walked in, the ass crack from that was produced by your poor sweatpants digging into your soft wide hips. They were all that fit and I was determined to have them break before replacing them. Looking back, I think It was one of the last times I saw your ass move that far independenly. Convincing you to use the scooter was one of the biggest things that changed your mobility.
I was able to subsequently convince you we needed our own for when I got tired after a run or an especially long day at work. We both knew id never be using it but the story sold and soon you were even zipping around our house in it. I had already had the doorways widened and it was a pretty open floor plan with lots of width to accomodate your growing body so the transition was pretty seamless.
The seams on your clothes however were soon tested yet again as your belly droopped closer to the floor of the scooter. You spent a good year getting my money's worth and lost mobility almost instantly. Everything was easier and more pain free with the scooter and I just helped you to the scooter in the morning and out at night.
It felt like one day though, we woke up and you were 200 pounds heavier and the poor scooter would whine as it moved from in front of the tv to the kitchen and bathroom. That would have been ok if not for the belly situation. It had started to impede your ability to steer. And the double wide seat was now no where near accommodating my triple wide partner.
After an especially long stuffing weekend in bed, I told you the truth that the scooter was no longer an option. You were determined to walk the extra steps. "I could use the walk anyways" you justified. The first trip to the bathroom and you peed down your leg as you struggled to roll over in bed let alone get your legs to get to the side of the mattress in time. So we decided on diapers and sent the issue to the back of our mind where the rest of the graveyard of worries were, determined to stay the course of gluttony and gaining.
Alternative horror ending below↓
So we agreed on barriatric surgery and you lost all the weight and died sad and not even that skinny. The end.

Gloria huffed and puffed as she waddled over to a supersized bench before collapsing into it as the furniture let out a groan at the retired elephant faunus huntress rested on it her whole body wobbling as she waited for Yang and Blake's own personal bulkheads to land. After the "defeat" of Salem huntresses and huntsman were mostly no longer needed oh some occasional problem showed up but it was handled by the police or the military more often than not. Leaving most huntsman and huntresses to simply retire and enjoy life resulting in well. A large percentage of them becoming absolutely enormous.
"Feels good to be back at beacon! Can't believe its been so long since I've been back to my old stomping grounds!" Yang sighed from her seat as her bullhead landed and extended down a metal ramp. The now retired brawler felt her body grow hot as she had to lift herself out of her seat and onto her mobility scooter. "Huff... I still got it! Ol bumblebee can still keep chugging along!" She said with a wide grin as she shifted her rump a bit and scratched at her tight Jean covered backside. "Yo Gloria! Long time no see!" Yang called and waved a flabby bingo wing covered arm as she scooted along catching sight of her old classmate on the bench. It had been ages since they had seen each other so they'd no doubt be surprised by their appearances.
Yang was wearing a flannel shirt with most of the buttons long since popped off leaving the food and sweat stained shirt constantly half open with Yang's hairy gut on full display. A trucker hat rested on her head. She took up mechanic work and racing once she retired but she also found a love for traveling and wasn't able to be as stationary as other huntresses could be.

I smile, your flirtatious remark showed me how much you changed. Not physically, anybody can see that. But mentally. To think you used to want those pounds to come off. I feed you more of your dinner, a smirk spreading across my face.
"And what would that goal weight be?"
You chew, swallow, and get cutoff be an ominous creaking. The couch cracks and splits, making you jostle and jiggle as you sink towards the center. You clutch your belly in pain, not from the fall but from how it woke up the quintuplets, their kicks tossing your several meals around.
I couldn't do much about the couch situation, but you didn't stay there long because the quints were very punctual, arriving exactly on nine month mark. The doctors were surprised about every aspect of your pregnancy. How much you weighed before and gained during the pregnancy. The number of babies and size of them made them shocked you weren't premature. I had the doctor weigh you once the babies were out of you but kept you from knowing the number.
You stayed at the hospital for a while. You had gotten bored of the bland hospital food. You were given extra meals but you could swear the doctors were making you lose weight with how little they were. Finally I had returned, ready to bring my prized piggy home.
I rolled in on a comedically large mobility scooter. I looked like a child driving a car with how big the seat was. I hoped out and presented the scooter to you. The extra wide seat was the only custom feature you cared about. I had been training for this moment, my hands digging deep into your fat rolls. I grunted as I tried to help you into the scooter. You rolled out of the bed and into the scooter, your body looking like jelly as it eventually stopped jiggling. Tired, I threw myself on top of your beanbag belly. You drove out to the parking lot were I finally regained my strength to take you home.
After stopping for some drive-thru, you noticed that I wasn't driving the direction of the house. You mentioned I was going the wrong way but I crammed another burger into your mouth.
"You never would have noticed because you spent half a year on the couch, but the house was for sale for a while. The rooms were empty well before you popped. You don't need to worry about what I've planned or how long I've planned it, you just focus on the food and getting fatter."
The new house was a gorgeous mansion. The front doors were massive and wide, it was the first time in years you didn't have to be squeezed through. I guided you to a huge room on the first floor. Inside there was a bed that took up most of the room. The walls were lined with minifridges and a walk-in closet had been repurposed into a small kitchen.
"This is an Alaskan King bed. It is 9 ft. by 9 ft. and I am certain you will not outgrow it, but we are going to try anyway. You remember our nanny? It turns out her sister is a professional chef, so I hired her too"
A cart full of baked goods and sweets is rolled into the room by a woman who look just like the nanny but slightly older and fatter. You settle into your new throne, your weight already sinking into the mattress. You start eating the treats by the handfuls, moaning in pleasure with how fresh they are. I firmly grab your belly and lift it up, tipping you over onto your back so I can start breeding you again.
(1) (2) (3) (5) (6)
I don’t know why I denied myself of this before. I don’t know why I was so stubborn and didn’t submit sooner.
You elate more moans out of me as you supply my latest filling of your babies. The food falls out of my hand. My mind shatters with each thrust and as my rolls jostle. Everything is moving. My voluptuous flesh, I can especially feel it now as you pound me. My paunch slaps you and it slaps against my own body. There is so much moving, you’ve made me so obese. I’ve never been so aware of my weight before, so labored by it, so held back by it. And it’s all because of you.
I am beyond morbidly obese and still advancing in size, because of you. I’m becoming unrecognizable, because of you.
This was paradise.
God, I want to eat, but I want you too. I can’t get a grip of my food as you’re fucking me, but I want to be filled in both ends.
“Hmmm ~ Give me more babies! 12 is just not enough!” I want all your babies and to be as fat as inhumanly possible. “All this fat isn’t enough. I need more!”
From there on out, I really let loose. I can’t go a full hour without eating something. My growth doesn’t stop for a moment nor slow down. I do get knocked up again and my pregnancy amplifies my development. You will be a father to 10 in the next 9 months. We will become parents to an astounding 22 children in less than 5 years.
“More!” My meals increase too. My breakfasts are heavier, my lunches triple and my dinners could feed a large family. And I’ve become so disgustingly greedy, so much so that I still yell “I’m starving!” through after all of what I just mentioned.
I’ve become a relentless food disposal.
“Honey, just how big am I now?” I pant while I’m stuffed to the gills, yet hungry. I’m always either hungry or full or both. It is amazing; to be full and at this size. My capacity for food has enlarged, but I’m always go over my limits still.
My last remaining clothes that I have on were like string attached to me, ready to snap. My tits were heavy and bigger than my own head. My colossal tummy that dwarfs anyone who may encounter it has long prevented me from getting up ever again.
I have gone without walking for so long that I have forgotten what it was like. Or what it was like to even be out of bed. I had outgrown my scooter. My custom built scooter was broken due to my weight and size, so I haven’t moved in a long while.
If you were to lift me off the bed somehow, you would probably see the shape of my gigantic ass imprinted on the mattress. The only thing I’m able to move nowadays were my arms, but even that is a little hard. I struggle to reach my mouth and feed myself. Even my prime function, I can’t deliver on anymore.
I have grown so much that now I just let you feed me, and honestly, that’s how I prefer it that way
“Baby, tell me.” I sweated as you lifted my belly to reach underneath me, readying yourself to give me newest batch of babies. I had gone through my pregnancy with my decuplets too fast. They were overdue babies, but it was too quick for me. I needed more.
I want it more.
I want more so badly. But I needed to know my size first. With labored breaths, I begged again: “Tell me how big I am! Tell me what it is before you impregnate me up again. I’ve grown so much for you, it’s the least you could do.”

Tips for Buying the Best Mobility Equipment for Your Needs
When it comes to maintaining independence and enhancing the quality of life, choosing the right mobility equipment is crucial. Whether you're buying for yourself or a loved one, selecting the best equipment ensures comfort, safety, and ease of use in daily activities. Here are some essential tips to help you buy mobility equipment that meets your needs.
1. Assess Your Mobility Needs
Before you buy mobility equipment, it's important to assess your specific needs. Consider the level of support required—whether it's for walking assistance, transferring, or full-time mobility. Understanding your needs will guide you in choosing equipment that offers the right balance of support and flexibility, ensuring you make an informed decision.
2. Consult a Healthcare Professional
Consulting with a healthcare professional is a critical step in selecting the appropriate mobility or home care equipment. They can provide expert advice based on your medical condition, physical capabilities, and lifestyle. This ensures that the equipment you choose will not only meet your current needs but also accommodate any future changes in your mobility.
3. Prioritize Comfort and Fit
Comfort and proper fit are essential when choosing mobility equipment. Whether it's a wheelchair, walker, or scooter, the equipment should be ergonomically designed and adjustable to your body size and shape. Trying out different models and getting a proper fitting can prevent discomfort and reduce the risk of injury, making your daily life much easier.
4. Consider Quality and Durability
Investing in high-quality mobility equipment is vital for long-term use. Look for products from reputable brands that offer durability and reliable performance. While it might be tempting to opt for cheaper options, quality home care equipment is a worthwhile investment that can provide safety and peace of mind for years to come.
5. Check for Additional Features
Modern mobility equipment often comes with various additional features designed to enhance convenience and safety. When you buy mobility equipment, consider options like foldable frames, adjustable height, or cushioned seats. These features can make a significant difference in your daily use and ensure the equipment meets your specific needs.
6. Evaluate Your Living Space
Before making a purchase, evaluate your living space to ensure the mobility equipment will fit comfortably and be easy to maneuver. For example, if you're buying a wheelchair or scooter, make sure doorways are wide enough and that there is sufficient space for turning. This ensures that the equipment can be used effectively within your home environment.
7. Review Warranties and Support
When buying mobility or home care equipment, it's essential to review the warranty and after-sales support offered by the manufacturer or retailer. A good warranty provides peace of mind, covering repairs or replacements if something goes wrong. Additionally, ensure that there is reliable customer support to assist with any issues or questions you may have.
Conclusion
Choosing the right mobility equipment is a crucial decision that can greatly impact your daily life and independence. By carefully assessing your needs, consulting professionals, and considering factors like comfort, quality, and space, you can confidently buy mobility equipment that best suits your requirements. With the right home care equipment, you can enjoy greater freedom and comfort in your everyday activities.

- Insurance
- Servicing and maintenance
- Full breakdown assistance
- Road tax
- Tyre replacement
- Windscreen repair or replacement
These services are included in the monthly payments, ensuring a worry-free experience throughout the lease term. The only costs participants need to manage are fuel and any optional extras they may choose.

NDIS Travel Assistance
If you have a disability and want to gain independence in travelling, the NDIS can provide assistance. This blog post will explore the different NDIS travel assistance and transport supports, provisions, and benefits.
NDIS Providers can claim worker travel time using the relevant support line item in either bulk upload or individual payment requests. This guide will distinctly distinguish between Provider travel and Participant transport.
Adaptive vehicles
NDIS participants often require assistance with transporting themselves to and from medical appointments, therapy sessions, and social events. Fortunately, the scheme offers funding for a wide range of travel and transport services to help overcome these barriers.
The process for acquiring transport support begins with an NDIS plan development meeting. During this meeting, you work with a planner or local area coordinator to identify your goals and needs, including transport requirements.
Once the NDIS has approved your plan, you can utilize this funding to access transport options that best meet your needs and objectives. Some examples of this include taxi and rideshare services, community transport vehicles, and specialised transport options that accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility aids.
Moreover, NDIS Assist Travel/Transport services can also provide public transport training to assist you in learning how to use public transportation independently. This helps in reducing the dependence on private transportation services, which can be expensive over time.
Community transport
The NDIS promotes a range of community transport options that allow participants to travel in comfort and independence. NDIS planners work with participants to identify their needs, find suitable transport solutions and access available funding. They also provide assistance with navigating the disability system to help participants make informed choices about their supports.
Depending on the individual, some transport services can be funded through Core Supports or Capacity Building Supports. For example, if learning to drive is a goal for you, it may be included in your Capacity Building budget under Improved Daily Living.
Before the NDIS can fund a transport service, they must be satisfied that it is reasonable and necessary to assist you to achieve your goals, objectives, and aspirations. Ultimately, this is why it’s important to discuss your specific transportation needs with an NDIS planner and include these in your plan. NDIS transport funds can be used to pay for taxis, rideshare services, or private transport providers that provide disability-friendly vehicles.
Assistive devices
NDIS participants can access a range of mobility and transfer equipment through their transportation support. Some of these items include scooters, wheelchairs, modified vehicles and specialised seats. NDIS will also fund vehicle modifications, taxi subsidy schemes and transport training.
Assistive technology (AT) is funded if it’s designed to improve functional ability and independence. It can be used to help a participant perform daily tasks, communicate and get around. Examples of AT that may be funded include a computer with voice recognition software, which allows a person to control the mouse buttons with their voices instead of using their hands (for people with limited dexterity or painful arthritis conditions), or a device that reads text aloud, which would help someone who cannot manipulate small print or read screen content without magnification.
Low risk, low cost AT can be purchased in the Consumables category of a participant’s core support budget. However, a device must be assessed as reasonable and necessary before being included in the plan.
Travel training
Travel training helps participants learn how to use public transport, such as buses, trains, and taxis. The service also teaches them strategies for safe road crossing, and can be provided in both one-on-one and group sessions.
Travel services are often incorporated into a participant’s core support plans. These supports provide funding to cover the cost of travel and transport assistance, allowing individuals to get to activities and services.
NDIS can also pay for specialised transport services that are equipped with features like wheelchair accessibility, and can assist participants who may need to be transported in a wheelchair. It can also pay for modifications to private vehicles that allow them to carry a wheelchair.
NDIS can also fund provider travel, which allows providers to claim expenses for time spent travelling with participants to their locations in order to deliver services. This is usually a component of capacity building supports, but can also be included in core support services.
