~BBW (Multiple), Eating, Friendship, ~MWG -two friends adapt to the realities of healthy appetites
CHAPTER ONE TIMES CHANGE
Katie Adams was in a funk all Winter from the prior year, thru Spring and now into Summer the 18 year old co-ed had dieted and struggled to lose weight for the Fall cheerleading tryouts. Shed lost 23 pounds, coming down to a svelte 126, which was pretty slender for someone 59. Shed practiced the routines as well, and was confident of winning a place on the team for her Senior year.
In ordinary times she would no doubt have been selected. But not this year. The District was under mandates to institute special programs without any additional funding. The State legislature was paralyzed in partisan politics. The District would not be getting promised funding, so they were cutting back on everything including the coaching staff and frills such as cheerleaders. Unifying classmates of diverse backgrounds through supporting sports teams was not a priority. School spirit wasnt either. There would be, it had been decided the night before, no tryouts this year because there would be no teams and no cheerleaders. All this just two weeks before school started.
I guess theres no point in worrying about weight now, shed told her mom at breakfast as she added an extra piece of toast and hash browns to a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and cantaloupe.
Now, after a sandwich and cottage cheese lunch, Katie stood in her room before the mirror looking at her newly ultra slim body. She glanced at her ample breasts and slim waist, again questioning what had been the use of all her efforts.
Honestly, she thought, I looked better with curves anyway and that lunch was nothing. Im really hungry. Whats the use of starving myself anymore anyway?
She knew her own larder was bare her mother had been keeping it that way, despite her Dads grumbling, to support her daughters dieting and Katie had only a few dollars on hand. Both her parents were out, so there was no way to hit them up. She called up her plump friend Kelly Johnson, whose mother she knew always kept food on hand, and got permission to come over.
At Kelly's the two girls were flicking idly through some magazines and eating nachos with cheese when Kellys mom came through and offered the girls a snack. Katie looked at Mrs. Johnson with some envy. This woman did not appear to have ever dieted in her life! Her breasts were twice the size of Katies and her body was possibly twice the size of her 160 pound daughter....
"I'll have whatever Kelly has, Mrs. Johnson", Katie said. Mrs. Johnson half waddled, half lumbered down the stairs. She soon returned, a little breathlessly, with a quart of milk and an unopened double row package of Oreos.
Mmm, Oreos, one of my favorites! exclaimed Kelly as her mom tore open the package. She dug in as if she'd been starved for months, although Katie suspected shed only had lunch two hours before., She also knew one of my favorites was a phrase Kelly used frequently whenever any kind of food was around and she wanted to give herself permission to indulge.
As Kelly leaned over to grab a second handful her already overstretched jeans slipped down, exposing the top of her rounded fanny. Katie noted as Kelly hitched them back up that her friend was sporting a bulging midriff muffin-top. She remembered buying those jeans with Kelly the previous spring.
Shes packed on over twenty pounds! How come she gets all the fun? Katie mused. She realized her friends gain nearly matched her loss.
Katie grabbed a share of the cookies herself, not bothering to twist them and lick the cream out as was her custom to make a bit of tasty hi-calorie food last longer. She stuffed two of them at a time into her mouth and chewed hungrily, envisioning herself bulging out of her old jeans in a soft and inviting fashion like Kelly.
Kelly's mom also dove into the Oreos with gusto. The trio carried on eating until the cookies are all gone. "Im sorry we dont have any freshly baked ones Mrs. Johnson said. But I always keep the packaged ones on hand. I know how hungry teens get.
Katie noticed the buttons on Kellies blouse straining slightly, and observed that her friend had quietly undone her tight jeans to accommodate the dozen or so cookies she had consumed. Her mom, however, being more accustomed to such binges, had dressed accordingly in clothes with a little more give. As she brushed the crumbs from her impressive rack, she took notice of Katies improved appetite and felt a little remorse about her own.
Im sorry, she continued, looking at the empty package, I think I probably got carried away would you girls like to take a some money and go have something more to eat?
Sounds great Mom that is if Katie wants to. Kelly replied.
Im ready to eat anything, Katie declared. After what the school did Im done with diets!
My kind of girl! said Mrs. Johnson, giving her 18 year old daughter a $20 bill. Kelly had had her drivers license for two years but Katie hadnt yet taken her driver's education course.
Kelly was ecstatic. She and Katie had been eating buddies at lunch until last January. It was then that Katie had gotten this notion that she should be a cheer leader. Since then shed been avoiding food and losing about three pounds a month. Now Kelly had her friend back and the chance to again eat with her.
Lets have a late lunch at Rons, Kelly suggested after she got into a larger outfit and the two were walking to her Moms car. Katie noticed that the over blouse extended below Kellys waistband but that the noticeable roll of her sizeable muffin top was scarcely being concealed. In fact, it visibly wobbled as she walked.
Why?, asked Katie asked as they into the car Is it really good?
Absolutely, exclaimed Kelly. For $6.50 you get salad, any entrée and two sides plus a refillable beverage. Plus for $2.00 more you can have any dessert on the menu - if you have room. And the food is good too.
All that so soon after lunch plus a slew of Oreos No wonder shes been gettying fatter, packiong it that way! thought Katie, bit she was ready to join her.
OK, said she grinned, Im sold.
Kelly wound up getting roast beef with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables while Katie wound up with chicken fried steak, baked potato and peas. Katie initially didnt think she would have dessert, but after over an hour it was late afternoon and she had seen several calorie laden concoctions that reminded her of her months of self imposed deprivation.
By 4:00 they were finished. She wondered if Kelly would opt for dessert and wasnt surprised when she started inspecting the dessert menu.
Look at this, Kelly exclaimed. Raspberries are in season and they have them for this month only. For $2.00 thats a bargain and raspberries with ice cream are one of my favorites.
Sounds good I was thinking of finishing off with a piece of peach pie a la mode, replied Katie.
As they were driving back home Katie was feeling full. She wondered how she would explain her loss of appetite to her parents at supper in a few hours. She was saved from that by a cell phone call from her mom.
Honey, you Dad needs me to be with him tonight at an important meeting at 7:00. Do you think you could fend for yourself this evening? her moms voice said.
No problem, Katie replied. "Im with Kelly and we can hang together. What time do you want me home by?
Well, since schools out, anytime before midnight. It may run late for us, but we may have some major news tomorrow, Mrs. Adams said.
Whats going on? Katie probed.
Nothings been decided and wont be until were sure it will work and we consider your wishes. All I can tell you now, because its all I know, is that your Dad is being offered a major transfer for two years, although we can come home to visit. Were going to be getting the details tonight and Ill let you know more when I can.
Wow, Katie stammered, Well, OK. Keep me posted!
I couldnt help overhearing, Kelly remarked, thinking fast. Would you want to go with them or stay back here?
At the moment I have no idea where theyre being asked to go, but my instincts are to stay here. Its where my roots and friends are and I want to graduate! Why leave? But how could I stay back? Theyd never let me fend for myself for that long!
Ive an idea. We have an extra room and my mom would appreciate my having someone to fill it," Kelly replied. Shes talked about renting it out with my sisters gone.
.Its an option, Katie agreed. Lets ask her,
In her mind Katie was thinking If it works out I at least know the food will be great!
Mrs. Johnson was a single Mom. Her husband had died when Kelly, the youngest of their four children, was barely two years old, Shed been left with a sizeable insurance policy and a four bedroom house with a paid off mortgage. She supplemented her investment income and the childrens social security with a graveyard shift job that made her a day sleeper until a little after noon. This gave her time to be with her kids most evenings. This routine usually included snacks in the afternoon and a late supper but left then on their own for breakfasts. Now, with the older children gone and no SS benefits, income was a little tight and shed been thinking of taking in a roomer.
When the girls arrived back Mrs. Johnson was just waking up from a nap. They discussed what they knew about the Adams family transfer. Mrs. Johnson was receptive to Katies staying, but told her she could get $500 for the room. She wondered whether Mr. and Mrs. Adams could afford that much.
Katie called her Mom and conveyed the news about Kelly's place in advance of the meeting Mrs. Adams would be at. She and Kelly then played videogames until supper at 8:30 teriyaki chicken, rice and broccoli. Modest fare, for Mrs. Johnson knew shed binged a bit earlier and was counting calories. But for dessert she had a surprise pineapple upside down cake!
Ohhh exclaimed Kelly. Pineapple upside down cake thats always been one of my favorites!
