chapter 6

Kim and Joe relaxed at home for a few days after Christmas. Kim didn't exactly let go and start stuffing herself but she found she wasn't worrying about her weigh as much since her talk with Joe. On the day of the mall trip, Kim wore the dress that Joe had bought her for Christmas. It looked really good on her even though her bra and panties were both too tight and made marks. She thought it was odd that there was no size tag in the dress but didn't say anything. Of course Joe had cut the tag out so that she didn't know it was a size 12. When they got to the mall, Kim said they should start with a new bra because hers was painful. They went in to the lingerie store and they measured Kim at at a 40F. They told her they don't carry sizes that high but she could go to the plus size store downstairs and they would have them. Kim was mortified. She had never worn a 40 or an F cup. She was huge! Joe was the voice of reason saying "Honey, lets go find that store and get your beautiful girls into a comfortable bra." He kissed her and they went off. The ladies in the plus size store were really sweet and also measured her. They said she might need a G cup in some of the styles. They put Kim in a dressing room and kept bringing things to try. Kim left with 3 bras, one of them a 40G. Then they went off to one of the stores where Kim got her work suits. She new she had outgrown size 8 so she grabbed some size 10. This was the first time she noticed that this store didn't carry anything above a 12. When she tried on the first suit, she couldn't believe how tight it was. She could barely zip the skirt and the jacket wouldn't button. JOE called in to ask her to model. She quietly asked him to come in. He took a look at how tight the skirt was, the little soft roll on top of it and the way her arms barely fit in the jacket. He smiled and asked if she wanted him to get the next size for her. Having really no choice, she accepted. The size 12 skirt fit. How did she go from size 8 at the end of November to size 12 less than a month later? She knew how and she really didn't want to stop eating and enjoying food. The size 12 jacket was still snug in the arms and barely buttoned. She couldn't go up a size since they didn't sell any bigger. She decided only to get one suit here and find another store. Before they went to other stores they decided to have lunch. There was a new Asian place at the food court. They had a special for two people that looked really good. Kim was too hungry and too busy eating to realize that she ate 2/3 of the lunch for two. Joe only ate a little meat, leaving the noodles and deep fried egg rolls all for Kim. Asian food made her thirsty and for some reason she didn't have a taste for her usual water. She got a refillable coke and had at least 2 refills. They headed off to the next store. This store had clothing from sizes 2-24. Kim figured she would just start with size 12 here. She got a few skirts and some pants. Then she tried on some blouses and the 12s were too tight in the boobs and the belly. She looked pregnant in them thanks to her big lunch. She tried on the size 14 blouses and they fit pretty well. In the back of her mind she thought, "I'm gaining so fast, I should just get a few things. " she got the bare essentials including two suit jackets in size 14. She also needed some jeans. She had always liked tight, stretchy jeans. She couldn't get the size 12 buttoned at all and the size 14 made a major muffin top. She decided she didn't mind the muffin and bought the 14s. Joe was getting so turned on by watching her go up in size, he was happy when she said she was ready to go home.
On New Years Eve, they decided to go out with friends. Kim hadn't really bought anything dressy on their shopping trip so she was happy they were going to a casual place. She wore her new jeans and a black top with sequins. The shirt was definitely too tight but she gave it a good stretch and thought it looked ok. She looked in the mirror and noticed her face was looking fuller for the first time ever! Her arms were rounder, her chest was huge, her hips were wide and she had a definitely muffin top. If Joe liked big women, he'd love this outfit, she decided. They had a great time at dinner and went to a local club for drinks and dancing. Kim hadn't danced in forever. After dinner and some drinks, Kim felt like her jeans button was going to pop. She was so full. While she was dancing, she got super sweaty and her belly kept peeking out of her shirt. Joe's friends both had petite girlfriends so Kim was by far the biggest of their group and Joe was loving the sight of his curvy woman dancing around and jiggling all over.
Kim woke up with a little hangover and Joe was there to come to her aid with a huge, greasy breakfast. After breakfast They were cuddling on the couch and Joe started rubbing Kim's full belly. He told her he had enjoyed their staycation so much and was so happy that she had allowed herself to enjoy so much food with him. Kim took a deep breath and said she had really enjoyed it too. She admitted that even though she wasn't sure of her weight, she knew this was her heaviest weight ever. This declaration drove Joe wild. He moved himself on top of her and started to kiss her passionately, breathing "That's so hot. You are so gorgeous" into her ear. They once again made love while Kim had a full belly. She was getting used to this and really enjoyed it.
Kim went back to work in her new clothes and one of the first people she saw said she looked like she had relaxed over the break. Kim took that to mean her gain was very noticeable. She had trouble concentrating during the day because she was so hungry. She had gotten so used to grazing all day that she could hardly wait for lunch. The same thing happened in the afternoon. She made a mental note to start bringing more snacks! They made an announcement at work that week. The new gym next door was offering them all free memberships. Kim decided to sign up since she wanted to get back to exercise. She thought would like to stay the same size for a while. That next day Kim went to the gym after worn intending to jog and walk on the treadmill. She had not bought new workout clothes so she made die with a pair of leggings and a tee shirt. She also didn't have a sports bra that fit so she wore her regular bra. When she tried to run on the treadmill, she felt everything bouncing and jiggling. She was too afraid someone from work would see so she slowed down to walking. After 30 minutes or so, she was worn out. She couldn't believe how out of shape she was now. When she went into the locker room, there was an old school scale in the corner. She couldn't resist stepping on it. She started with the bottom slider. She set it on 150. Then she started sliding to the right and by the time she was the whole way across, it hadn't budged. She thought it might be broken. Otherwise she weighed 200 pounds. She moved the bottom slider to 200. The bar dropped. She slid the top until it balanced at 203 pounds. She was officially 23 pounds heavier than ever before. Part of her was embarrassed but part of her wanted to tell Joe right away. She got her phone out and took a picture of the scale. She sent it to him saying "your future wife is in the 200 club". She knew that would drive him wild. He sent back a text saying he loved her and asked if she was ok. That night when Kim got home, Joe was waiting with flowers, her favorite wine and Thai takeout from her favorite place. They enjoyed their dinner and while they were sitting together on the couch, Joe asked Kim how she felt about her discovery today. She told him she was a little embarrassed but she felt curvy and beautiful. She said, " I can't explain why it didn't bother me like it would have in the past. I guess I feel beautiful because I'm so happy and because I know you like my extra pounds." Joe smiled and said he would never want to force her to do anything but if she was happy with enjoying food and gaining some weight, he would enjoy every minute of it. Then he reached down and patted her growing belly saying, "one day this belly is going to get really big when our baby is growing inside of it." Kim felt really turned on at the idea of being pregnant. She kissed Joe and told him that would make her so happy. Joe had some exciting news of his own to share. He had qualified for the Ironman championships in October. Kim was so happy for him! He said he would have to be pretty strict about his training schedule until then. Joe also said maybe they should get married right after the competition then he could totally relax on the honeymoon. Kim liked the thought of him not worrying about training then. They talked about it for a while then they came up with a great plan. Since the Ironman was in Hawaii, they could fly there a few days before the race and get married. Then they would stay there for their honeymoon. They were both so excited to have their wedding date set.
