chapter 3

Mia sighed. This was going to be tough work, she thought, looking down at her exposed stomach. It was lean and muscular from years of diligent work at the gym. She'd seen friends go from gaining a few pounds to drastically ballooning into obesity, and she quietly promised that she wouldn't let herself get as big as Grace.

She'd just gotten back from the grocery store and was stocking the fridge and cupboards with sugary, fatty foods. She hadn't even been to a regular grocery store in years. She usually stuck to the expensive health food stores. She took out a big plate and filled it with a tremendous amount of sweets: twinkies, several different types of cookies, Reese's, gummy worms, few chocolate bars, and other goodies. In her other hand she held a bag of salty chips. She made her way to her living room and turned the TV on, resting the food next to her.

She immediately dug in, attacking the food like she hadn't eaten in months. And it was as if she hadn't. She'd never had the luxury of being allowed to eat anything and everything she wanted because she always felt the guilt of being healthy looming over her. But with the reigns loosened, she went to town. She shovelled treat after treat down into her mouth, letting every sweet flavour and tangy taste mingle in her mouth for a second before gulping it down with the rest.

She was so engrossed in her favourite show that she didn't realize all the food she was eating. When the credits rolled, she looked down to grab more food and she was shocked to find that she'd eaten everything except for the bag of chips. As the next episode played, she opened the bag of chips and began crunching on them. Before she knew it, she was reaching into an empty bag. She'd polished that off too.
'Wow,' she thought. She couldn't believe she'd eaten all that food.

She looked down and saw a bloated belly pressing against her shirt. She loved her new, round belly. She wondered what it would be like to be this big all the time, and it excited her. She loved feeling so full, like she was indulging in something secret and lavish. I could get used to this, she thought.
