It's long but I wouldn't say meandering. I also wouldn't say that it's necessarily repetitive: there's just the right combination of cruelty and (apparent) kindness, humiliation and encouragement to make it believable that Steffi is becoming a helplessly pliant and out of control hog entirely at the dark mercy of Club Butterfat. And your descriptions of Steffi's ever ballooning body create some fantastic visuals.
