The gluttony chronicles: the dean

Chapter 4 - More Kate

In the weeks following Kate's indulgence in more delicious carbs and larger portion sizes after practice, she finds herself struggling to maintain her usual level of fitness and performance. Despite her best efforts to increase her training intensity, she feels sluggish and lacks the usual energy she once had during workouts and races. Kate notices that her clothes are fitting tighter, and she feels self-conscious about the changes in her body.

As time passes, Kate becomes increasingly frustrated with her inability to maintain her previous level of discipline and resolve. She finds herself craving the comfort of food more frequently, especially after long and exhausting training sessions. Despite her initial resistance, Kate starts to give in to these cravings more often, leading to further weight gain and a decline in her athletic performance.

Kate's once strict dietary habits begin to slip, and she finds herself reaching for unhealthy snacks and desserts more frequently. This change in eating habits only exacerbates her feelings of frustration and disappointment in herself. She struggles with guilt and shame over her lack of self-control, but finds it increasingly difficult to resist the temptation of indulgent foods.

As a result of her increased calorie intake and decreased physical activity, Kate's body undergoes noticeable changes. Her once toned muscles begin to soften, and she gains weight around her midsection and thighs. Her athletic physique becomes less defined, and she no longer feels as confident in her appearance.

After fruitless return to the gym, she decides to skip core and gym workouts to get to the cafeteria a little earlier.

In the weeks following her decision to skip core and gym workouts to get to the cafeteria earlier, Kate's fitness and strength levels continue to decline. Without the regular exercise and strength training sessions, she notices a decrease in her muscle tone and overall endurance. Kate struggles to keep up with her teammates during workouts and feels increasingly out of shape compared to her previous self.

Skipping her core and gym workouts also takes a toll on Kate's mental well-being. She feels guilty and disappointed in herself for neglecting her training regimen, but finds it difficult to break out of the cycle of prioritizing food over fitness. Despite her best intentions to refocus on her training, Kate's cravings for unhealthy foods continue to sabotage her efforts.

As a result of her decreased physical activity and continued indulgence in unhealthy foods, Kate's weight continues to increase steadily. She notices that her clothes are becoming tighter and more uncomfortable to wear, and she feels self-conscious about her changing body shape. Kate struggles with feelings of insecurity and dissatisfaction with her appearance, but finds it difficult to break free from her unhealthy habits.

Despite her internal struggles, Kate continues to prioritize food over fitness, rationalizing her choices by telling herself that she will start exercising again tomorrow. However, as time goes on, she finds it increasingly difficult to muster the motivation to get back on track with her training regimen.
