Chapter 1

Joan kissed her youngest daughter good bye and watched her walk down to the gate to board her flight for Fort Lauderdale to attend her first semester at Southern Florida University. Her daughter was five foot four, maybe just a bit plump, weighing one hundred and twenty four pounds. But Joan had to nearly fight with her daughter, Sally, to keep that relatively slim figure.

Joan walked back out to the curb and her older daughter, Jennifer, who was waiting for her in the car. She hopped in with just a hint of tears glistening in her eyes.

“Oh Mom, she will be fine, she’s a big girl now!” giggled Jennifer. “Oh I know honey, I just worry about her, she is the baby after all. I am really worried about how much weight she might gain at college, though, you know what an appetite she has.” Sighed Joan.

“Oh yeah I do Mom, remember when she stayed with Aunt Carol, she was what thirteen or fourteen, she gained all that weight!” Stated Jennifer. “Yes I do remember, I was so mad at Carol for letting Sally eat so much, she gained fifteen pounds in just a month! When she got home, she had her jeans un-buttoned and un-zipped, her tummy was so round and bloated!”

“Well Mom you will just have to hope for the best”, said Jennifer, trying to comfort her mom. “Thank you, dear, but I am sure that Sally will gain weight, I just hope she doesn’t get too fat!”

Sally arrived several hours later in Fort Lauderdale. She was thrilled to be starting college, meeting new people and being on her own without Mom constantly nagging about what eats or wears.

The University had organized vans and upper classmen to help the freshman get to campus and move in to the dorms. Sally was able to get her luggage and board a van to campus in only an hour or so.

On the way to campus she met her RA (resident assistant) who was checking off names on a clipboard. “Sally Fox, from Iowa,” she called. “Right here,” piped up Sally. “Oh good, you roommate came in on an earlier flight today, she is already getting settled in you room,” said Amanda, the RA.

“Amanda, what’s the dorm like is it one of the new ones I hope?” asked Sally. “Oh yes, it is Sally, it is great, we are the closest to the out door pool and we have the newest cafeteria too, the food is awesome!” Sally glanced at Amanda’s body, gleefully noting that though Amanda was reasonable slim, she did have a soft little tummy bulge!

Sally got her stuff out of the van and with the help of other students, to her room. Her roommate, Jill was there unpacking. They introduced themselves and as some people do, they just clicked, becoming nearly instant friends. They each helped one another unpack and get their closets organized. Jill was the same size as Sally, both carrying just a little of those charming extra pounds! After unpacking both girls were starving.

The cafeteria opened at five thirty and stayed open until seven thirty in the evenings. The food was the best on campus and best of all there were no restrictions on what the students could take. The only prohibition was no food could leave the dinning area.

Jill and Sally went through the line loading their trays with all sorts of rich heavy treats, slices of pizza, macaroni and cheese casserole, cheeseburger, cheese fries, cakes, muffins and sweet tea to wash it down with.

The girls laid into their first of many, many wonderful meals in the dinning room. They both ate until nearly sick, so stuffed and full! “Oh I am so stuffed,” sighed Sally, “Let’s go up to our room, I need to get out of these jeans!” Jill giggled, “Oh me too! I feel like I am going to burst, but it was so good.”

The girls headed upstairs to their room. The room faced southwest, so it got the afternoon sun and was on the warmest side of the building. Though that side had a view of the water and the pool, it was known to be uncomfortably hot for first part of fall semester and the latter part of spring semester.

When Jill and Sally opened the door it was seventy five degrees inside. Both being very full of rich food, the girls were pretty warm. “Sally, would you mind if I wore just my panties and a t-shirt in our room, I have two sisters and we usually just wore our underwear around the house, unless someone was coming over, it is so hot at home.” Asked Jill.

Sally giggled, “I have one sister, and we just wore our panties and bras upstairs. We only put on clothes to go downstairs, too. I was hoping you would not mind, I hate being full and stuck in tight clothes.”

With that settled, both girls took off their offending jeans, so much more comfortable in just panties.

Jill was looking at her figure in the mirror. “Sally, did your mom give you a big lecture about gaining weight at college? God mine did. She bugged me constantly before I left.”

Sally giggled, “Well my mom mentioned it a couple of times. She and I battled about my weight since I was in middle school. I think she is resigned to the fact that I will be gaining weight, but she is worried about how much!” Sally was running her hands over her bloated tummy.
