Chapter 7

As the winter was approaching Lina wanted to experience this time of the year in the fullest. This means cold temperature, a lot of snow and drinking hot chocolate. That´s why she convinced Zoe to live for several months in the north of the US. Minnesota was their choice and took the plane. Lina wasn´t just drawn to the beauty of a wonderful winter, but she wanted Zoe to forget abot her growing body. And that´s easier in a region where you are always dressed with three jackets to protect the body from undercooling rather than wearing bikinis in the hot areas.

Although Lina noticed that Zoe had been behaving a bit more self-conscious about her body, Zoe always stuffed all the food down her throat that was put in front her face. At the beginning, Lina asked her several times if she wanted to continue her weight gain mission, but Zoe always answered that she never felt better. So Lina stopped asking and gave her more to indulge. Lina wanted her to give a time-out of feeling fat, that´s why she chose Minnesota where no bikini will be needed. But Lina would make sure that there will be enough and beyond enough of food, so Zoe will leave this state in spring in a much changed body frame.

„God damnnn, it is freaking cold here“, Zoe exclaimed. „Yeah true but isn´t the snow wonderful? Never have seen that amount of snow back home!“, Lina answered. „Come on go inside, I make you some hot chocolate!“
„Thanks!“
„Here are some cookies while I cook the milk.“
„There isn´t much to do here, is there?“
„Well, there are beautiful hiking roads here and the nature to see!“ Lina explained to Zoe.
„That sounds totally boring…walking around with no target. You can do that on your own“, Zoe said while munching on her cookies.
„I will, I will girl, I actually met a guy who wanted to show me the best spots to hike!“
„Go for it, undercool yourself outside while I use our jacuzzi to enjoy life haha“, Zoe laughed out.

Lina and Zoe decided to rent a luxurious appartement this time. Jacuzzi, an enormous couch with a big flat screen, king sized beds and a sauna. Lina chose this place to live. She wanted to give Zoe no reason at all to leave this place for once in the next months. Less movement, more fat, that´s the calculation. And the best thing is that there will be no weighing in´s this whole time. Zoe will read the numbers of her body when they reached their newest target in the US.

Zoe loved this place. Although it was way to cold here outside, this kind of appartement was all she could dream of. She would have the time of her life here. The past weeks haven´t been too funny for her as she noticed that she wasn´t that interesting for guys anymore. She began to wonder if this weight gain was a good idea. But she wanted Lina to prove that being fat wasn´t the end of the world.
The good thing here in the nowhere of the north of the United States is that she didn´t think about other people. Lina and her were all alone and Zoe forgot her doubts about her changing body. She would just eat food the way she wants, how often she wants, in the quantity she wants.
