chapter 2: getting started (or confidence)

As the first week passed, Lila forced herself to eat as much as she possibly could. Eating her whole plates at mealtime, something she had never done before, and even started to eat snacks between meals. Of course, Seth helped her every day, feeding her when she thought she could not eat anymore and massaging her stomach to help her make more room. The weeks passed by and Lila’s stomach capacity increased dramatically as she forced herself to always eat as much as she could. After one month, she was able to eat two servings of every meal and her half a cake snack had increased to a whole cake. Her newly found appetite had really started to show. She had started to develop quite a muffin top. Actually, she had gone up one pant size and was already starting to have a hard time buttoning her new pants. In only one month, she had managed to gain 21 pounds of fat, making her 125 pounds.

As she looked at herself in her mirror, she could not believe her eyes. Her belly was starting to protrude, and her love handles were overflowing from her pants. Although those changes were clearly the most impressive ones, her breasts and bottom had also started to grow. She pinched the soft layer of fat on her new belly and smiled, put her shirt on, which had trouble covering her stomach, and went to the kitchen to gorge herself. As she arrived at the table, it was filled with food. Her mom was there, drinking her coffee.

“Good morning Lila! As you see, I have prepared a lot of food for you… Oh my God, Lila, looks like someone needs new clothes. Those clothes are way too tight for your new size. I will order some bigger ones, don’t worry.”

“Thanks mom,” Lila said, sitting next to her, before filling her plate quickly. Since a few weeks, she had found that she was now feeling hungry before meals, something that had never happened before. As she was devouring her breakfast, her mom looked at her, stunned.

“Well, no wonder your clothes are not fitting you, you seem famished!” Her mother said, smiling. “I just wanted you to know that your father and I are very proud of you. You are really making good progress and even if you don’t make it to the Trial, you have made us very proud.”

“Thank you very much mom,” Lila said between two mouthfuls. “But don’t worry. I think I can make it. I am starting to feel a lot different. It’s weird, the more I eat, the more I want to eat the day after. I am starting to believe that I might just be able to do it. Have you seen that belly!” Lila said, grabbing her new belly roll with both hands.

Lila and her mother continued talking while Lila devoured 3 plates of food. After eating, she pulled her shirt down and went outside, where she met Seth.

“Hey Lila! How are you doing?” He asked.

“Well, I am stuffed to the brim after my breakfast, so I guess I am doing great!” She replied with a smile.

However, her smile went away when she saw one of the First-Tiers walking on the other side of the street. She was a lot bigger than Lila. As Lila stared at her ass, belly and boobs which were jiggling softly as she walked, a thought occurred to her.

“Seth, I won’t be able to do it. Look at her!” She said pointing subtly at the First Tier. “I might have gained quite a bit, but I only have 5 months to get bigger than that. Have you seen her?”

Seth touched Lila’s shoulder softly. “Don’t worry Lila. You are doing great. Have you seen how much you have gained? Your shirt can’t even cover your belly!” He said, laughing. “But if it gives you comfort, I can help you get even more stuffed than you already are. In a few weeks, you will be fatter than her. Does that sound like a good plan?” He said, winking.

Lila’s smile came back. While, normally, Lila did not spend much time with Seth outside, from fear of being judged by other Second-Tiers, today, she felt as though it did not matter. She had a goal and she knew she needed his help. Better be fat with a Third-Tier than skinny without him. Moreover, she did really like spending time with him. Whatever other people thought, she would spend the day with Seth stuffing her face.

As the day went by, Seth encouraged Lila to eat as much as she could, every time they saw food. After a few hours, most of her belly was was showing, her shirt being way too small. Moreover, set encouraged her to unbutton her pants at some point, to help her eat more. Her belly was at its biggest. Although she felt shy walking in town with her belly showing, she realized that it was the price to pay to become fat. As the day was getting to an end, Lila was so bloated that she had trouble walking.

“Oh my God, Seth. My stomach hurts so much, I am feeling sick. I don’t think I can walk home.”
“Don’t worry, take my hand, I will help you.” Seth said, giving her his arm.

With Seth’s help, Lila was able to get home. As they were standing on her porch, Lila looked at him. The last month had really brought them a lot closer. The intimacy of feeding and the belly massages had clearly played a part in it, but it was more than that. Lila really felt like Seth cared about her. He wanted the best for her, and it showed. Why else would he spend so much time helping her get fatter?

“Thank you so much Seth. Thank you for all you have been doing for me lately.” She said.

“Don’t worry. I am really enjoying spending time with you and feed.. uhm… helping you…” He replied, looking embarrassed.

As he said that, he looked at Lila’s fattened belly, before quickly raising his eyes to meet Lila’s. Lila got closer and hugged him, pushing her newly fattened body on his hard one. As they were hugging, Lila could feel his fingers digging into her love handles. Lila would have wanted that hug to never end, but Seth finally broke the hug.

“Well, that was a very productive day!” Seth said. “It’s getting late, so I think I will head home. Go rest for a bit and then you better fill this stomach some more. I wish you good luck future Seven,” Seth said, bowing jokingly.

As Seth walked away, Lila took a few seconds to look at him. “Yeah, that was a very productive day indeed…” she thought, putting her hands on her belly.
