Chapter 11

“One more!” Amanda shouted at her obese former roommate

With all of her might Courtney pushed up her arms. After just barely making it up she buckled and fell to her stomach.

“That’s three… a new PR!” Amanda exclaimed

Courtney was less enthusiastic. Everything hurt, her arms were on fire. Her breathing heavy and rapid, she could feel her heart pounding. She didn’t feel accomplished she felt exhausted, as she had for the past three days. Three days without added sugar, without dessert, without feeling full. It felt like hell.

She knew she “needed” this, she had to get herself back on track. It just felt awful.

“Can we be done for the day” Courtney wheezed.

“After that sure thing Court” Amanda knew Courtney had barely done anything but they’d been at the gym for over an hour. Diet was what was important at this stage and Amanda had been making sure Courtney had stuck too it. 1500 calories a day with exercise would be enough for Courtney to get back to her old weight in just 17 months.

Courtney lifted herself up off the gym mat. An oblong pool of sweat was left in her wake. Just standing up was more of a process than it was a few months ago. Heaving herself up Courtney slowly made her way to the locker room. She wasn’t really thinking about anything other than how much she hurt. Her life had gone from stress-free and easy to incredibly hard in just three days. School had started, forcing her to get up early for class, Amanda had been forcing her to push herself at the gym, and worst of all she was always hungry.

Arriving at Amanda’s apartment. Courtney went to shower as Amanda fixed dinner. Stepping on the scale Courtney looked past her belly at the unchanged number. Her stomach groaned again, she knew Amanda would make something healthy and flavorless. She dragged one hand across her stomach, even empty it felt huge to her.

‘You’ll be back piggy’ Eli’s words repeated over and over in her head. She felt a familiar twinge or arousal as she thought about being called a pig. She jumped into the shower and started soaping her body. She rubbed her hands on her large butt, and her cellulite riddled hips. ‘God I really have been a pig’ she thought moving her hands to her pubic area. Even her pussy was getting fat. These thoughts were enough to get her going, luckily the shower was loud enough to hide her moans from Amanda.

After her shower Courtney headed to the kitchen for dinner. A small plate with a single chicken breast and some broccoli was all she got. The entire dish was gone within a minute, Courtney sat back unsatisfied, her stomach growled audibly. “Wow you really aren’t used to healthy portions” Amanda said bluntly

“I know it’s going to be hard but you can do this, just a few more weeks and you won’t even be obese anymore”

Courtney leaned back and groaned

“ugh, it’s going to be so hard Amanda”

The rest of the evening passed uneventfully, Courtney watched tv on the couch she’d been given to sleep on. She was used to this, just not on an empty stomach. After another growl sounded from Courtney’s stomach she decided to google some things. “Stomach growl” lead to “hungry girl” lead to “obesity”. She kept scrolling, after calculating her BMI to be 39.9 she realized that she was on the cusp of “extreme obesity”. She once again felt that familiar feeling between her legs. Amanda was asleep so Courtney did her best to remain silent as she came once again to the thoughts of her fattened body accompanied by the pictures of fat women on her screen.

The next day Courtney was bored in the back of her statistical analysis class. It was by far her least favorite class, math had never been her strong suit and lately she just didn’t have the patience. Deciding to get up and go to the bathroom Courtney quietly slipped out the back door. Outside of the classroom she was quickly lost in the crowd of students going about their business. She hadn’t been attracting much attention in her grey sweatpants and hoodie but she didn’t mind. She glanced over at the vending machines at the end of the hall. Quietly she walked over and looked at the delicious goods inside: Oreos, Doritos, fat-cakes, her mouth began to water. Slowly she swiped her student ID [balance $40] appeared on the screen. She didn’t think her parents had gotten her any sort of meal plan but apparently she was wrong. She quickly got a packet of Oreos and a small bag of Doritos, the machine wouldn’t let her spend more than $5 at a time so it would have to do. She quickly shuffled back to class and ripped open the bags. The taste was immaculate, sugar felt so good on her tongue. She knew she’d have to go back to dieting after class where Amanda would be waiting to take her to the gym. Still some food was better than none.

For the next few days Courtney returned to the vending machine getting two or three of her old favorites every time. After barely surviving the weekend she made a discovery. Monday morning after sneaking out of class yet again, her account balance was now $350. There was no explanation. Her mind started racing, her stomach groaned. She grabbed some funions and Swiss cakes to hold her over.

On Tuesday she snuck out of class pretty much as soon as Amanda dropped her off. She moved faster than she had in months to the nearby dining hall, Amanda would be waiting for her after class but she could still eat quite a bit in the 30 minutes she had. Grabbing as much as she could Courtney took a seat, two full plates of meat and carbs sat before her. She dug in, some students noticed the fat girl eating ravenously alone. Courtney noticed the occasional glance as ketchup dropped down her cheeks. This only drove her to eat faster.

2 plates later and she was out of time. Grabbing some chips and packaged cookies she hurried out. Arriving back at class with just seconds to spare she was out of breath. Wiping the ketchup off her lips she tried to act sleepy for Amanda. A fake yawn that turned into a real yawn sold it.

That night Courtney quietly unwrapped some of her secretly acquired chips. She had grabbed enough that she could get just barely sated, still it was better than nothing. 15 minutes of munching and rubbing herself later and Courtney didn’t know what to do with the evidence. The garbage was too obvious, not much thought later and Courtney decided shoving them in the couch. She’d have to take them away when Amanda wasn’t there.

This carried on for a few days. Courtney was still miserably hungry most of the time but temporarily sated herself during classes and at night. Exercise was still kicking her jiggly butt, it was a losing battle. She became more upset in the gym, any semblance of progress still felt immensely far away. Her frustration lead to more cravings and a generally grumpy attitude.

That Saturday it was time for another weigh in, Courtney had convinced Amanda to weigh her after their morning exercise secession. After 45 minutes loudly complaining about having to lift weights and run half a mile a drenched Courtney stepped on the gyms scale. 250 lbs…

She had gained 2 pounds. Amanda was in awe, her mouth hung open. Based on her calculations Courtney should be 4 pounds down by now, a 1-2 pound variation was expected but this was a stretch. A look of suspicion crept across Amanda’s face. Courtney of course thought of how this could have happened, she thought of those late night snacks and the meals when she was supposed to be in class. Her crotch tingled as she thought of how bad she had been.

Amanda was not entertained. A frown settled on her face, she looked at her chubby roommate. Something was off.
“Clearly something hasn’t been working” Amanda said in an annoyed tone. Courtney’s cheeks grew red, her privates screamed. Looking up for a second in thought Amanda’s expression changed to Anger. Storming out of the gym she mumbled “goddamnit fatty” under her breath.

Courtney was overwhelmed by a combination of shame and arousal. Covered in sweat and hurting from the gym she was in shock. Two things were going through her mind. Arousal: burning, it took effort not to start rubbing herself right there, and of course hunger. She always felt hungry, this was ridiculous.

She stumbled out of the gym in her sweaty clothes and walked to the McDonald’s across the street. She was running out of money but she was panicking about her future and needed to cope. She ordered a massive meal: several quarter pounders, five McChickens, two large fry’s and a large refillable soda. She waited staring hungrily at the workers frantically throwing together her giant order.

When it was done she grabbed the two large treys and hobbled to one of the booths.

She hadn’t done this in weeks, uninhibited gluttony. No time limit and so, so much food. She didn’t want to think about what Amanda might find or what her life might be like after, she just wanted to eat. Salty greasy goodness filling her stomach. Taking a large sip of soda and letting out a burp she felt a glow in her stomach. Others in the McDonald’s glance at her, but this isn’t so unusual (it was a McDonald’s after all). After what felt like an hour Amanda barged into the Restaurant, both her hands were full of wrappers. She laid some of them out on the table as Courtney looked up from her almost finished feast.

“What the fuck is this Court. I thought I heard crunching last night... Why are there so many of them?!”

Courtney just looked up with wide eyes

“You can’t keep doing this to yourself, I can’t make you healthy alone.”

Courtney silently reached for a fry

“NO” Amanda screamed swatting at Courtney’s hand.

“Let her do what she wants” a familiar male voice rung out.

Amanda looked at Eli with rage.

He was carrying another trey full of food.

“You BASTARD, you did this to her!” Amanda shouted, exasperated.

“She did all this herself and you know it”

Courtney just watched on, her loins throbbing at the sight of Elijah and the shame of Amanda’s argument.

“You know she likes this, she’d never change, she’ll never be the girl she was” Eli said with confidence placing his trey in front of Courtney.

Immediately she reached for it, grabbing an apple pie and shoving it in her greasy maw.

Amanda rolled her eyes
“If that’s who you are now don’t bother coming home, go eat yourself into oblivion you fucking pig”

With that she threw the rest of the wrappers at Courtney and stormed out. Courtney wasn’t dealing with this situation with much thought. All she was focused on was eating., finishing the fatty feast that lay before her. After Amanda’s exit Eli sat next to her. Rubbing her thigh under the table he whispered in her ear.
“Welcome back piggy, we have work to do.”

Courtney shivered in arousal.
