chapter 2

It's my first day of my new life, instead of waking at 8 am and going for a run, I slept until almost noon and then April said I should start having big filling breakfasts instead of my usual Grapefruit, so I went to Denny's and ordered a Grand Slam. I was not ready for so much food, but I ate most of it, I was super stuffed. Usually when my clients eat this much I would recommend a walk to burn it off, but instead I went home and just played games online. April suggested we meet for lunch before her workout, I shouldn't have slept so long I'm still pretty full from breakfast! At lunch April said we should each order what we would normally do and switch, so I ordered a side salad with lemon juice and April ordered this big greasy bacon cheeseburger with fries. Oh my goodness that burger was delicious, I haven't had greasy anything since high school! I was so stuffed after lunch I swear I looked pregnant. During our session I couldn't workout at all, not only because I wasn't supposed to, but I was too full. April on the other hand seemed to be working out harder than usual, good for her! After our session I went home and played online for a little longer then Ordered pizza for dinner. I sat on my couch watching cheesy movies mindlessly eating at the pizza, I wound up falling asleep, from what I would later find is called a food coma, with a piece of pizza still on my face! The next morning I woke at about 11 and repeated the same day, big breakfast, lunch while full, ordering food and watching tv. As the days went on this became more normal for me. In case anyone is worried, my gym doesnt care how fat I get as long as I bring in clients!

Almost two weeks have gone by since I started my new life, I have started craving foods. I will wake up in the morning, looking forward to bacon, pancakes, eggs mmmm. So hungry. My clothes are all starting to get tight, but it's getting cold out so yoga pants and hoodies are all I need. April said I need to start fitting some snacks into my day now that I am getting used to my big meals. She brought some cookies with her to our session from a local bakery, I've never been there but god these are the best cookies ever I might need to visit there. I got to munch on cookies as April worked out, I'm getting nervous about our weigh in soon, I've never been over 109. The day has come, Time to see how much damage I have done. On our Bi-weekly weigh in, April started, she stood on the scale, 299! She was exstatic, not only under 11 pounds down, but under 300. Now my turn, I close my eyes as the arrow spins. April reads the numbers, "wow!" I hear her say, "Zoe, you put on 15 pounds, 124 pounds, still super skinny but keep this up and you'll be fat in no time!"

After the session I went to check out the bakery. They had a new customer promotion, I got a punch card and for every $20 I spend I get a punch, after my tenth punch I get a free cake. So of course I spent $20 on cookies. Their donuts looked good too, I might have to come back in the morning. As the days went on I found myself getting more and more used to this lifestyle. I no longer missed running and when looking back found it dreadful. I looked forward to getting food, all sorts of junk food I always used to avoid. I found myself growing lazier, making excuses to not go out or so anything that was too much work. My empty wrappers grew in a pile, the dirty dishes stacked up. I couldn't fit in any of my clothes, but knowing I'd be out growing them I started living in stretch pants and hoodies. During our session before our next weigh in, April told me how shes been finding herself having more energy, the only thing keeping her going is knowing I am holding my word, watching me chub out is so fun for her. Of course I'm having fun too, but I can't wait till I can get back in shape, I'm not feeling so cute anymore. "You have lost a little of your beauty, weight tends to do that, but if you feel upset have a cookie, it will make you feel better" April said. I took her word for it and for sure, munching when I feel blah does bring my mood up. The next day was our next weigh in, I was feeling nervous and noticed I was eating more because of it.
