Chapter 1

Alex walked over to the chaise next to her best friend, Jordan and sat down. Jordan said “Hey what’s up?” Alex sighed, “Nat and I got back from his family’s house last night.” “Oh, how did it go?” “Not very well, Nat’s mom still does not like me. She virtually ignored me all weekend. She even made a couple of snide comments about how skinny I am. But not so that Nat or his dad could hear her.”

Alex was almost in tears. She had met her boyfriend’s mom a few months ago. She was startled when she met her at how heavy she was. Nat’s mom weighed nearly three hundred pounds and was only five foot three inches tall. When Nat introduced her, his mom barely acknowledged Alex, looking her over and then just sighed. The problem was Nat would not ask Alex to marry him without his mother’s approval, not just grudging approval, but genuinely liking her future daughter in law.

“So what did Nat say on the way home?” Asked, a concerned, Jordan. Alex started to cry, “He is worried that his mom does not like me at all. She does not like slim women or girls, she thinks that slim women are always “hunting” for a new guy.”

Jordan looked over at Alex. She thought, “Alex is such a sweetheart and Nat is a super guy, a little chubby in the belly, but still not bad looking. He comes from serious money too. He and Alex would be set for life as soon as they are married. If only Alex could somehow appease her future mother in law she would be set.”

“Alex, let me get this straight. Nat’s mom was making comments about how skinny you are?” Alex sniffed, “Yes she thinks I am way to slim for her Nat. It seems to her that skinny girls are little sluts!” “Alex, what are you going to do? Nat is a super guy and I know he adores you, you need to figure out what it will take to get his mom on your side.”

Jordan, who is what, politely would be called a little chubby at five foot three and one hundred and forty pounds, looked at Alex. She weighed only one hundred and three pounds and the same height as Jordan. Jordan giggled, “What”. Alex asked annoyed that Jordan thought the situation funny. “Alex, if Nat’s mom doesn’t like you because you are so slim, why don’t you just gain some weight.”

Alex looked over at her friend. Jordan pot belly was sticking up in the air a bit, as Jordan liked to eat large lunches. Her boobs were round and plump in her halter style top and her thighs bulged out of her bikini panty bottoms. Alex considered Jordan as being fat. Alex absently rubbed her hand over her flat belly, running her finger under the waist band of her bikini brief.

Jordan asked, “Well?” Alex looked over,” I don’t know. I have worked out so hard to stay slim and in good shape. But Nat really isn’t into exercising very much. I don’t know if I want to get fat too.” “Alex, you don’t have to get really fat, just put on some weight, see what Nat’s mom reaction is. If she starts warming up to a plumper you, then maybe you should put on more weight. I mean who are you saving yourself for? You adore Nat and he you. So what does it matter if you weigh a bit more.”

Alex thought for a moment. “She has a point there. If Nat’s mom only objection to me is my figure, then that is something I can do something about.” “Jordan, you know that might be a good idea. Nat and I are going to see his family again in a few weeks. I could gain weight and see if his mom is any nicer to me.”

Jordan giggled, “Great I will “coach” you to help you gain.” Alex giggled, “Alright, but I don’t want to get fat, ok.” Jordan crossed her fingers under her chaise where Alex could not see them, “I wouldn’t do that to you Alex. But its lunch time, we might as well get started on your gain.”

The girls went to Carl’s Jr. a few blocks away, in Alex car. They bought huge bacon/cheese burgers, fries, milk shakes and ice cream sundaes. They went back out by the pool and Jordan had Alex eat as fast as she could. “Alex, you need to eat fast, don’t let your stomach feel full too soon.” Alex managed to pound down all of her lunch, though she felt like she would explode, she was so stuffed. “Burp, oh Jordan, I am so full!” Groaned Alex. Jordon looked over with glee at her protégé. Alex’s belly was bloated. “Just lied down Alex, you will feel better soon. What are you doing for dinner?” “Burp, hic, “Nat is taking me out to dinner tonight. But I am so stuffed I think I might cancel.” “Oh no you don’t Alex, you need to keep eating. You will feel better by dinner time and you need to show Nat that you are eating more, too.”

Alex dozed for a while. She left Jordan and went up to her condo to get changed to go out to dinner. She did feel less full as the afternoon progressed and soon was actually hungry again. While in the shower she did feel the bloat in abdomen, which did really feel all that bad. She got dressed and waited for Nat.
