Chapter 1

"But Dr. Stevens, I don't understand. What do you mean you've never seen anything like this before?" I asked, grabbing my partner Sara's hand. "What do you mean I'll never be thin again?"

"Well, Miss Charles," the doctor began, taking off his glasses, "We thought that this sudden weight gain was due to a thyroid problem, but after doing more tests, it doesn't look like that. I have talked to many of my colleagues about your case and I am afraid that we are puzzled. You will continue to gain weight every day, no matter how little you consume and how much you exercise.

Sara intervened, "Doctor, surely there must be some kind of limit to all this, otherwise Nora will end up..." she shut up, not wanting to complete the sentence.

"I'll end up being the fattest person on the planet, until I die!" The idea terrified me that I even started sobbing. Sara hugged me to comfort me.

"Well, I'm not so sure about that." The doctor began. "Your body is rapidly adapting to your weight gain. Your blood pressure, your cholesterol level, everything looks the same as any other healthy 28-year-old girl. In fact, according to all reports, you're in optimal physical condition, despite your current weight of 210 pounds. As far as I can tell, your body is transforming every piece of food and every drop of liquid into the necessary nutrients and fats. In a way, it is operating with maximum efficiency.

"You mean, no matter what I do, everything that enters my body will stay there. Will I continue to gain more and more weight?"

"Yes unfortunately, you will have to give us a certain period of time to see if we find the solution to your problem."

We left the doctor's office and headed home. Throughout the trip, I thought about the last six months. I used to weigh 120 pounds. I used to run half marathons. I used to buy in the small section. But then I started to gain weight for no reason.

It started with a few extra pounds. I wasn't so worried. Sara and I thought it was just that my metabolism was slowing down a little. So we changed our diet and increased exercise in the hope of losing the extra weight. However, after weeks with the new routine, I had gained 20 pounds. This leads to more extreme measures. I tried everything, cleaning juices, dietary supplements, extreme training conditions, but nothing worked. After gaining 25 pounds in two months, I began to stop urinating and defecating. It wasn't constipation, I just didn't feel the need to do it. I decided to see my doctor. He performed all the usual tests, but no answers emerged. I saw one specialist after another, but no one knew the answer. It was at that moment that I began to get incredibly depressed. I was starving. I forced myself to vomit but I still gained weight. Finally, after months, I was referred to Dr. Stevens, the supposed expert. But even he had proven to be a failure.

I looked at Sara. She gave me a reassuring look and grabbed my hand. She had always been with me during all this and I knew she would never leave me. "I swore to you on our wedding day that I would always love you and that I would always be there for you no matter what," she used to say, but how much longer could I make her go through this?

"You know what, Nora?" Sara said suddenly, as she changed lanes, "I love your appearance and I always will. I still find you sexy like when I saw you for the first time. In fact, our sex life has been crazy these last few months. I think you've really awakened something in me."

"I'm glad you still find me attractive, Sara," I began, "but what happens when I weigh 500 pounds, 800 pounds or more than 1000 pounds?"

Sara blushed a little. "possibly you'd look sexier, I'd like to see."

"Really?" I asked. "You've never told me you like big girls."

"I told you, I feel like you awakened something in me. I can't stop thinking about what you would look like if you gained more weight."

"You mean, when I gain more weight."

"If that's the case, so be it. I will be with you every step of the way."

I smiled a little. It was good to know that Sara was with me.

30 days and 30 pounds later, I had turned the whole thing around and had accepted my destiny as the incredible future. Sara had helped me with that. Since our conversation in the car, our sexual relations had heated up a lot. Sara was now a wild animal in the bedroom. Her lust for my soft body was insatiable.

I started eating normally again, well actually a little more than usual. My bigger body wanted more food and I thought there was no reason to starve. After all, if I was going to be a fat girl, I could also enjoy all the benefits. And I certainly did. A break from the whole diet unleashed my hunger. I just couldn't get the food down my throat fast enough.

One day I got home from work with a big icy Wendy's milkshake in my hand and Sara sat me on the couch. My incredible ass fell, taking a loud moan out of the furniture. I would end up breaking this one day.

"Can you believe this is the biggest size they have? 32 ounces of frost is just not enough for this fat girl."

"Dr. Stevens called," Sara said, "he told me that he may have determined the cause of his condition."

My eyes lit up. "Really? Does that mean he has found a cure too?"

Sara looked down, avoiding my eyes. I knew it was bad news. She never looked me in the eyes when it was bad news.

"I'm sorry, Nora, but no." I fell on the couch feeling defeated, chugging the rest of the ice cream to comfort myself "It turns out that your body reacted to a type of mutated bacteria that is found in an extremely expired yogurt. Now, that bacterium has entered into a parasitic relationship with your body. The doctor said the bacteria is forcing your body to expand to make room for even more bacteria.

"But it can't be treated?"

"The doctor said all his tests indicated that this bacterium was resistant to even the strongest antibiotics."

I was very disappointed. I had accepted my future, but the brief ray of hope made me sad. Suddenly, I realized that Sara was holding a box of yogurt.

"I found this in the back of the fridge. It was hidden on the back of a shelf. Apparently, the doctors missed it when they cleaned everything."

"Oh, Sara. You have to throw that thing away!"

She opened the wrapper and put a spoon in it. "Sara, what are you doing?" But before I could lift my ass off the couch, she ate all the yogurt. "What have you done, Sara? Why would you do that to yourself? It's bad enough that I'm in this problem, but you don't have to be too."

"Nora, you don't understand. I'm not going to let you go through this alone. If you're going to get fat to enormous proportions, then I'll do it too." Sara said with a determined look.

"However, it didn't have to be that way. I never wanted you to suffer this affliction too."

"But I want this." She said suddenly. I was shocked. How could she want to get fat? "Since we found out about your condition, I haven't stopped fantasizing about it. I want to be fat with you. I want to please myself excessively. In fact, I don't think I just want it, I need it."

I couldn't believe what I was listening to, but I realized that Sara was serious about every word, so I couldn't help but smile. "Well, leave your future ass next to me and let me introduce you to the fat life. But before you do, get us some snacks.

She smiled and went to the kitchen.
