She looked like you, that is, she looked fat. She was wonderful and kind, but she was also fat. And you’d learned your eating habits from her and your father, who you realized was fat as well. Had there been any hope for you? “I just want to eat healthier.” You assured her.

Today was the day. You were finally confessing to your crush. Nerves welled in your stomach (or maybe that was hunger) even though you were pretty certain your feelings were reciprocated. You two were best friends, you spent so much time together, it had to be love.

When you got home you immediately dug the scale out of the cabinet you’d hidden it in. No more pretending or hiding away from the truth. You stripped down and held your breath before stepping on, scared of what you’d see. It took a moment to calculate before blinking with: 200lbs

“Hey! Glad you could make it! I was thinking we could get ice cream?” He rolled his eyes but smiled. “Of course you want ice cream.” See? He was playfully teasing you. He must like you back. The best ice cream parlor in town was across the street, so you made your way there.

Kat takes you home with promises to plan to hang out again. You’d rather avoid it. You wished you could be as lucky as her, naturally slim, but you couldn’t help your weight, you were naturally fat. You tucked into a frozen pizza and felt sorry for yourself. The end ☺️

The first day was the hardest, but everyday after has been the tiniest bit easier. Three weeks in now and you’d lost 15 lbs. Some of your jeans were starting to fit better, and your skin had cleared up some from limiting junk. But you wanted faster results. You wanted more.

You looked together at the showings. “How about that one?” You pointed at a poster with a cute girl smiling at an equally cute boy in what looked like Rome. “Hmm, looks boring, oh let’s do that!” He pointed at a gory poster for a zombie flick. So not setting the mood.

It’s was shameful the amount of junk food you stashed in your room, chips, chocolate, candy, soda, all things you could no longer have. All things you had to learn to no longer want. Stuffing it in the trash felt bad, wasteful, but it was better than stuffing it in your mouth.

Maybe that’s where you and your crush should go? Shaving was impossible in such a tiny space, so you had to do it outside of the shower, which was messy and awkward, and your stomach kept getting in the way ever time you’d bend to shave your calves. Ugh.

So cute! Unfortunately a little tight (must have shrunk in the wash), but if you sucked in you could get it on your body. Now you just had to be careful not to breathe out too much. You texted your crush: we still on for 11? You waited for him to reply, 15 minutes later: yea

You did your makeup, trying for sweet and simple, but you always struggled with contour, it never looked natural on your round face. At some point you had to say it was good enough, it seemed no amount of makeup could slim your face. At least your eyeliner looked good?

200lbs. 200, two zero zero. You’d never been this heavy. You found a calculator online, at 5’5 you were at a BMI of 33.3, obese the website told you. Not just overweight, actually, literally obese. How do you change this? Where do you start?

It’s so good you immediately dig in before your crush has even gotten his. You look up, a smear of sticky ice cream on your cheek, he just got a cone with one scoop of mint chocolate chip, boring! He asks if you want to walk while you eat, but you definitely don’t.

You looked at him and realized you felt.. nothing. It wasn’t some vindictive ‘you didn’t want me while I was fat so you can’t have my now’ thing, he’d turned you down very nicely. But you’d been avoiding him so much to surprise him, you’d just sort of moved on.

You dug deeper this time, and found something new to try: fasting. The switch to eating less had been so hard in the beginning, how hard was it going to be to go without eating for a whole day? But then you replayed in your mind: “I’m into petite girls.” Lost your appetite now.

Ten minutes later, you see him. He looks so good, but casual too, just jeans and a t shirt, you liked that he seemed so comfortable with you. He raised his hands in a wave and you rocked your body for momentum to get off the park bench (it also seemed really low to the ground).

More research. Healthy recipes, workouts, how to count calories and diet. You had a list of the things you needed to do, but it was late enough that would have to start tomorrow. For now, you compiled inspiration for what sort of body you wanted. What did you want to look like?

He gives in, and sits with you as you devour your treat. It doesn’t take long, and by the time he’s done with his cone, you’re finished as well. He asks if you want to go on a walk now, or what you wanted to do today besides get ice cream. You figured you two could get lunch.

The drive to Carrie’s was short. Unlike you who’d chosen to live with your parents and go to school online after high school, Carrie went to the local university and shared a house with your other two friends. They’d invited you as well, but that would have meant finding a job.

“Not that there’s anything wrong with you! There plenty of guys out there who like bigger girls, just, uh, I don’t. But I do enjoy being your friend, if you’re still alright with that?” You froze, absolutely gobsmacked. Bigger girls? Were you a bigger girl?

The movie was gross and boring, as expected, and your snacks only lasted for the first 20 minutes or so. But finally, finally, it was over. “Lunch?” You asked, hopeful. At a nice restaurant felt like the perfect place to confess your love. “Yeah, I guess I could eat now.” Yay!

You couldn’t relate. Whenever your parents asked where you wanted to vacation, you chose a cruise, free endless buffets and old saggy bodies that made your young flabby body look a bit better. Jessica came in, a few dresses on her arm for them to try.

It was almost soothing, so long as you could close your eyes and pretend it was just some faceless makeup artist instead of your far more beautiful friend. You could smell her perfume, soft and floral, and you wondered how you smelled after your baby wipe bath.

One of those peppy treadmill girls had taken you under her wing. She’d noticed your progress and determination and was impressed. Her name was Brooke, and despite looking like a girl who would have bullied you in school, she was actually very sweet.

Did..did he just send you a ‘you up’ text? You reply: yeah, what’s up? Gym guy: do you want to go on a run tomorrow morning? There’s a new route I’ve been wanting to try. Hmm, could be fun. You: yeah sure, how’s 8 sound? Gym guy: great! I’ll pick you up then

“Yeah.” “Okay,” she picked through your brushes, “you know what, why don’t I get one of my spare beauty blenders?” She stood up gracefully, no need to use her hands or something for leverage to lift her body from the ground. No, she did it with an ease that mocked you.
