chapter 3

"Oh, thank god, Evan's finally gone!" thought Megan, she looked down at the treadmill gauges and saw she had barely reached one mile, but she was so winded she couldn't take it any more. She walked into the locker room to get some water and saw how red she looked, like a plump little pig, sweat covering her skin, casting a sheen across the chubby little roll." She was so repulsed she could barely look at her self after her poor performance. As she stood naked in the shower rinsing off the sweat she thought about what people would say about her if they knew how much she gained. Doctors are supposed to be the picture of health, not fat cows that get beet red after 20 minutes on a treadmill. She thought about what all the catty girls in her class would say about her when they saw what a porker she was becoming. Resigned, she pulled her sweats out of her bag "Great, now that I've wasted my day off, I need to get back to library to read the next 5 chapters in my anatomy textbook. I guess I better grab a pizza on my way over..."

The worst part about school was that she could barely think about anything else, and her lose scrubs ensured she rarely thought about how fat she was getting during the day. But no one was as shocked as her when Evan asked her out for dinner and a movie one night after a study session. "I guess he miraculously hasn't noticed how much weight I've put on!" she thought to herself as she stared into her closet trying to figure out what outfit she could wear for the special evening. She hoisted the first skirt up her waist and struggled to pull the zipper all the way up, and sure enough the defiant roll of pudge was bulging out from between her skirt and and the tight tank top that was riding up her waist and framing her plump belly. She cupped the flab in her hands to feel it's weight and started to panic at the prospect of going shopping for new "fat clothes." After desperately trying on a few more outfits that all made her look positively bovine she tried on a dress that successfully stretched to fit over her new hefty body. You could still certainly see the bulge of her gut, but the pattern seemed to camouflage how big it had gotten. Plus, since her breasts had grown, they had plumped up inside the tight plunging neckline to create spectacular cleavage. "I guess this will do" she thought to herself.

The next week was crammed with studying and time in the library, but it flew by in the anticipation of the big date. She had even been eating lunch with Evan every day, they had great chemistry and it seemed like he was genuinely attracted to her. Finally, Saturday night rolled around and she spent two hours getting herself all dolled up for the date. As she shimmied into the dress it seemed to have gotten even tighter since she tried it on only a week ago. She struggled with the zipper once again, and came to the revelation that even though she was trying to watch what she ate she was STILL gaining. She hoisted the zipper up past her swollen bulging stomach, and gazed at herself noticing how plump she looked in comparison with last week. But Evan was going to be at the door any second so she had no time to wallow.
