Family fight ( 2 )
by David

When she sat at the desk, Jenny heard somewhat a weird noise. It was her zipper, which couldn’t hold the pressure of her growing belly and gave up. She put a hand on her distended tummy, which seemed to be a jiggling jelly. There was a huge roll of fat which had massively outgrown her belt.

- What are you thinking? –

- Nothing, Maureen… I feel just a little bit tired.-

While hiding her unzipped pants, Jenny thought of the huge breakfast she had had after getting up, then gulped and grinned: likely those 1000 calories were becoming pure fat, whose a part was pressing against her loose clothes. Since Mr. Coolidge, her French teacher, was late, there was a clear chance to eat something more, given that it had been almost 20 minutes since she stuffed her mouth… It was about a record, because she had restlessly eaten by the last weeks. It would have been a shame to skip that chance! She chewed all along the day: gums, chips, chocolates, fries… Mmmh her stomach needed something more solid! She got up, after forcedly zipping her pants, and went to the school pastry shop, where she was to buy two chocolate bars and three bars of Mars. Then, locked into the girl bathroom, all those sweets made their road to her stomach. Was such a plan starting to work? Apart from the fact Jenny did love that new diet, it was obvious that her mother hadn’t reacted until then. Otherwise, that afternoon, when Jenny was setting in from of TV and eating loads of pizza, her parent got angry suddenly and cried:

- Isn’t time to quit?-

- What did you say, mom?-

- I said you’ve ruined your waistline very much… you’re becoming a ball of flesh… How long will you last?-

- Your choice…-

- Ok… Let’s say whether I’m more patient than you’re… Good appetite!-

- Thanks…*munch*-

She’d not have talked about it for three days more. In the meantime, Jenny’s intake got even wider and fatter: she was spending all her time eating… It was other than easy! It seemed that a lot of chance to give up were raising hour by hour.

First, it was the pants zipper which broke just during the midmorning pause. Everyone can imagine how embarrassing it was!

- What happened to your trousers, Jenny?-

Maureen couldn’t do anything but laugh out loud. Even the button was being launched far. Practically a couple of round roll of fat were exposed on our character’s lap, and they were very big. One minute later her classmates were laughing louder and louder. Jenny’s first inner thought was to give up her battle then, not to jeopardize her good name any more. Would giving up improve her situation? She wanted to get more freedom, not to get even ridiculous before her mother! Moreover she was doing nothing bad: is fatness a default?

That afternoon she came back home and locked into her bedroom. Time to change her clothes! It became a very difficult try: soon it became clear that even a whole wardrobe didn’t fit her any longer. All she could wear was a very large shirt, together with some tight stretch pants.

That trouble didn’t prevent her from going on: otherwise, she thought that her mother was to see the true effects of her hardhead conduct!

In fact, it was that evening, when she came back home, that Jenny was wearing a pair of awfully tight pants, which showed all the thickness of her thighs and her larger belly. She ignored her, even though her eyes expression was very much clear!

The following day, Jenny decided to weigh herself. It was to be the hardest test to her goodwill!

She jumped on the scale and opened her eyes wide:

218 pounds

She was at her heaviest. Likely she was fatter that anyone else of her schoolmates! How fat was she going to get? Could she have changed it?

Would all that binging have affected her eating habits? 218 pounds… She had thought she was already huge when her weight was 210.

How long had it taken to arrive at 218? Effectively it took less that three months. She decided not to eat a chocolate pastry which was on her desk and to make her homework quietly. Would it have been possible? Her stomach started to roar… It was used to be fed at that time. Being sincere, could a spoon of ice cream damage her health? Even though she was so fat, it was doubtlessly clear that she didn’t felt bad at all. Au contraire! Spoon eating a whole bowl of strawberry ice cream she wondered whether giving up such a… diet was even a question. She loved to eat. Moreover, if her fate was to be fatter than the average, why shouldn’t she starve herself? Being 190 or 218 wasn’t very much different. Actually, she hadn’t been told she was THIN when she was two dozens pounds lighter.

Later on she sat on the coach eating a second bowl of ice cream. She was in Heaven.

Her mother came in just one minute after the last spoon was gone. She made herself room close to her growing daughter and exclaimed with a very sad voice.

- I thought of us lately. Why have we been so stupid? It is true you must be both free and careful. No doubt! But…But… How can you do that by yourself? I’ve even ignored you so far. I saw your weight-loss successes, but didn’t congratulate. I do guess you suffered a lot. Then, that boy… How could you suppose I was going to help you? Oh, my dear… I’d like to start a new life together now… full of confidence and trust… Where can we start Jenny-

Jenny rubbed her overstuffed belly and cheered:

- What about a couple of big pizzas, full of pepper and cheese, to eat together BEFORE DINNER?-
