Chapter 1 - Two Lovers

Thank you everyone for being patient during my hiatus. This last year has been extremely busy and I simply haven’t had the time to write like I used to.

My stories are going to be shorter and more concise in order to counter the lack of free time, but hopefully they are just as enjoyable as my previous work.

Apr il softly sighed at the massive woman staring back at her in the mirror; her mind still unable to fully recognize the gluttonous feminine form as her own despite the familiar bright blue eyes staring back at her.

“Get your sexy ass in here babe,” April’s husband playfully shouted from the other room.

Pulling away from the mirror, April’s pale skin peeled itself from the bathroom sink, revealing a red imprint where the counter had been pressing into her ponderous sack of excess stomach flesh. Hesitating for a brief moment, April paused and glanced back towards her reflection. It was only after stepping away from the mirror that her eyes were capable of capturing the entirety of her enlarged form. Scanning the morbidly obese woman’s body from a slight distance, April marveled at the sheer amount of mass she had accumulated since meeting her husband Steve.

In her old life, April had been a petite and active woman who had always kept an eye on her weight, never tipping the scales over 130 pounds. Even during periods of what she used to consider overindulgence, her old self still managed to avoid looking even slightly chubby on her short 5’2” frame. Despite her healthy and conventionally attractive body, however, April had suffered from low self-esteem and body image issues her entire life before, or at least she had before finding her one true love.

April had been 25 years old when she met Steve. The tall and mysterious man introduced himself to her while standing in line at a local coffee shop before asking the young and impressionable woman out for drink. One date soon turned into three, and the young lovers became inseparable in no time.

It didn’t take long for April to fall in love with Steve. The man immediately began waiving his money around, pampering her every which way she desired. Late night dinners in the evenings. Weekend trips three times a month. Tons of sugary treats April had always loved but had never indulged in. Life quickly turned into a seemingly endless cycle of partying, eating, and drinking as soon as Steve entered her life. In virtually no time at all, the ever careful April had begun to pack on the pounds in a way she struggled to understand, eventually culminating in a panic attack the night her favorite pair of pants failed to wrap themselves around her expanded waistline.

“I’m a fucking whale,” April wailed in despair as the scale below blinked “172” in red. “Steve’s going to dump me if I don’t get my shit together.”

But Steve didn’t dump her. If anything, his compliments multiplied and his pampering elevated to new levels. Just as soon as April would outgrow her old clothes, Steve would be there with his credit card and a surprise shopping spree. April was incredulous. She had always been told that men found fat to be disgusting, yet the more she grew the more Steve couldn’t seem to keep his hands off of her.

But even with her boyfriends implicit encouragement, April continued to tell herself that she needed to dial things back and resume her workout regiment. However, the young woman never managed to make it to the gym more than once a week, and her boyfriend’s unrelenting desire to pamper his baby continued to take a toll on the twenty-five-year old’s figure. Months went by and what little physical activity she could muster became increasingly tiresome. April’s body was expanding in every direction, and the lack of cardio and added weight on her small frame began to reduce her capacity for exercise and made previously minor tasks an inconvenience.

The added pounds only pushed April even further away from what little physical activity she had previously managed, and after only dating Steve for eight months, April’s weight had skyrocketed to 205 pounds. The once slim and nimble woman had moved beyond chubby to downright fat. Her thick thighs consumed what was left of her thigh gap and warped her forward movement into a slight waddle. Her slim booty had been remolded into a pair of cellulite-ridden basketballs that jiggled with each step. Her D-cup breasts sagged towards her belly button and now flopped across her chest any time she moved. Short walks at work or around the house easily caused the modestly portly young woman to lose her breath. Truth be told, the young woman looked like an entirely different person.

In denial of what was clearly a losing battle, April continued to tell herself that her weight gain was only temporary. She decided to ignore all the flashing red warning signs, and Steve’s growing lust for her increasingly fleshy form erased any fears she might have had that her weight gain would jeopardize her relationship.
