The lazy one

chapter 3

Our sophomore year had ended and as much as it is known that people change when they go to college I was sure that no one changed as much as Luna did in just one year. She had buried herself under pounds of fat and managed to forget about her old body and just embrace her new one.
Summer came by and we had to say goodbye to one another until august. I was sad because I knew that her mum was going to make her diet and perhaps go through a hard time but I was also excited to see what another year of college was going to do to her and her figure.
It was August 25th and we had just arrived back at the campus and had installed our things back in the room. She looked thinner, not thin tho, just not as bulky. I knew that she had dieted over summer because of her mum and it seemed like she had lost 10 pounds or so in around 1 month, but I also knew that she loves too much food to just forget about it and eat only salads and apples.
In just one month she managed to put all her weight back on, and she looked just like in June, beefy. After a summer restricting her appetite and trying to make her mum happy she had come back stronger than before. Binging was her everyday routine and so was watching tv. She would go to class in the morning and then just lay on the couch the whole evening while binging on food and Netflix. Every other night she would order some kind of fast food, Chinese seemed to be her new favorite so she would order it at least twice a week. Other times she would just get some chipotle or burgers. Her body looked flabby, her belly hung more and more every day and her clothes hardly covered her body anymore so sometimes she would just walk around on her undies and keep it simple. It seemed like most of her weight was packing on her belly making it uncomfortable for her to do an everyday task like picking up something from the floor or standing up. She had started sleeping on her side since it seemed like sleeping on her back was now difficult for her.
As months passed by I was the main row spectator of this transformation. She was gaining and gaining, her belly stuck out more and more everyday and she was more careless every day. By Christmas, she had gained around 25 more pounds of pure flesh into her tummy. She had changed her wardrove buying a bunch of clothes on the Forever 21 plus-sized section and she was wearing now an XXL on most of her clothes. She still used her old T-shirts but now she would wear them around the house looking like crop tops since her belly would show and the shirt would roll up every 5 seconds.
I can remember the most "dramatic" day of this part of the process. We were in the living room, I was sitting on the floor with my computer trying to finish some work before having dinner. She had just cooked some pasta and had server herself a big plate of it and added cheese on top. She walked towards the living room and let herself drop on the couch, as she usually did. Until this day I had noticed the couch making a weird noise every time she sat, but this time it gave up. The couch broke and she fell hard against the floor. I was shocked. I got up quickly and helped Luna get up from the floor since she was struggling. I have to say that the quality of the couch was not great and that I could not have expected it to break, but it did. Luna just went to her room in shame and locked herself in. I tried to cheer her up and said that it was okay, that it was bad quality couch and that we would just get a new couch. At first, I thought that my words had not worked on her at all, but the following day she just kept doing as any other day; eat.
Once again, we went home for Christmas and when we went back she kept eating, once again, more than before. I had noticed that after every time she went home she would binge and eat more than before. Like being home and having to deprive herself made the opposite effect on her than what her mother hoper for.
Changing her wardrove was becoming a monthly task as her body was growing too rapidly.
Another day I can remember vividly was one time she argued with her mum over the phone. I could hear her mum screaming at her and calling her names. "You are a porker! " " Lard- ass" " You used to be pretty..." "How can you be happy with that belly of yours hanging around". Luna just cried and said "mum stop", but her mum didn't stop.
After the conversation, she picked up the phone again and called dunking doughnuts. She ordered 4 dozen boxes of doughnuts and waited for them to arrive. She then sat on our new couch with her belly on her thighs and the boxes pilled next to her. She opened the first box and started to devour the doughnuts pretty much pushing them into her mouth. After the first 6 doughnuts, she started to breathe heavily, but she didn't stop eating. Gorging box after box. Her belly looked swollen and she had started to rub it while eating. After the second box, she rested for some minutes and then just spread her legs apart to fit her belly and kept eating. She managed to pig out the 3rd box and was about to start the 4th one when her pants burst on the waist leaving more room. She started picking up more doughnuts as she rubbed her gut. I had never seen her binge that way, not even close, I guessed that was her way to deal with the pressure her mum put on her, but it was totally beyond her average limit.
After that day it also became usual that every time she talked to her mum on the phone she would then binge like crazy.
She had started to do weird things, or so I thought they were weird like she would rub a lot her belly, sometimes she would grab it while sitting on the couch. She had started to place things on top, like her laptop or the food packages she was eating. She had started to put vaseline on her thighs since she said they would rub and the time and she would also place her belly over the waistband of her pants, like when she wore sweats, instead of putting the waistband over to cover it, she would just let her belly hang over it. By the end of the year, her weight had skyrocketed like never seen before, gaining around 70 pounds over the year, which placed her 120 pounds over what she used to be before college. This time her weight was also visible in her face; looking rounder and fuller, with a decent size double chin and big cheeks. She was obese no matter where you looked at, her belly was huge and even had cellulite on it. The first thing you would notice as soon as you looked at Luna was her belly, there was no way to avoid checking it, first of all, because it was big, but also because she didn't try to hide it. She didn't care whether it was showing over her pants on snugged in a pair of way too tight jeans. She was fat and proud.
Although her belly was the largest part of her body, her but was now wide and sloppy with cellulite. So were her legs which now rubbed and giggled as she walked. She has also grown back fat which stuck out of her bra as it was usually too tight for her. It was almost impossible to believe how someone who used to be so model like 2 years ago was now whalelike. On our freshmen year, most of the guys on the campus had checked her out and were somehow trying to get her and most girls wanted to be her. Now things had changed quite a lot, most guys were disgusted by her and could not believe it was even the same person and most girls were using her as a motivation to eat healthily and exercise to not follow her steps. She didn't care what people thought of her, she only minded her own business.
Our sophomore year ended and we once again had to say goodbye to each other and wait till August to move back.
