Battle of the Bulge II: Fit to be Fat (18)
[At their clubhouse…]
“This meeting of the clubhouse is for us to tell about how our weight loss to be our normal plump bellies is going. This will be a bit of encouragement if for whatever reason it’s going a bit slow for you. For me, I’ve lost about 2 pounds so far and I can already see a difference in which my belly folds less when I sit down. I also compared my clothes to see if there was a chance they could fit and while I’m not there yet, I can see they’ll fit better now than a week ago,” said Starlight.
“I notice better movement as I walk with 2 less pounds literally weighing me down. Can’t put anything on yet but soon that’ll change,” stated Melody.
“Good luck, Melody and Starlight. I have just a bit more energy than before with those first two pounds absent. It’s still a bit of a struggle to walk like Melody but we just have to keep going and we’ll make it through this,” said Bright Eyes.
“Well I truly think Teddy approves of me being a bit skinnier now than before because he doesn’t like that my belly goes between my hooves and to be really truly honest, I don’t either. I think I’m encouraging myself but Teddy is encouraging me too so all the better reason to keep going,” said Sweetheart.
“I’m not exactly having a ton of success. Sure it’s coming off but it takes me more to lose one pound for the same it probably took for you all to lose twice that,” sighed Clover.
“You’ll get there, Clover. Losing those two pounds is like an adventure for me because it’s like I achieved a goal and it makes it more fun,” said Patch.
“I’ve had to lay off the sweets to get my 2 pounds to drop and boy it’s not easy because of my love for chocolate but I’m getting by so far,” said Bon Bon.
“We still have a bit of a ways to go but don’t give up, we’ll be fit-to-be-fat in no time. Thanks for coming to the meeting guys, later,” said Starlight leaving.
“Bye Starlight,” said the others. [Elsewhere…]
“Oh dear, dahlings, this isn’t healthy at all,” said Rainbow Dash.
“It doesn’t do any good to have this much pink without being able to show it off well,” added Pinkie Pie.
“None of us pegasus ponies can fly being this much overweight,” said Star Catcher.
“Nope, not at all,” whistled Thistle Wishes.
“You guys gained too?” questioned Lickety Split.
“We absolutely positively did and it’s just not as much fun,” answered Pinkie Pie.
“Too much green,” added Minty.
“What’s wrong? Why haven’t any of you lost any weight this past week? Weren’t you with those others?” asked Eduardo.
“We didn’t want to go with those other ponies that were taken away to lose the weight,” explained Pinkie Pie.
“I wonder if that other pony could help you? She had a horn and used her magic to create an antidote so to speak that would slowly reverse the weight gain to their normal state,” suggested Eduardo.
“What’d she look like besides having a horn?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“I have no idea. I’m only going by what I heard but I’m sure the others know who I mean,” replied Eduardo.
“Then we have to find them,” said Lickety Split. *They race off* [Back with the Tales gang…]
“Call me crazy but I think we have to eat healthy if we really want the weight to drop,” said Bright Eyes.
“You know, that isn’t crazy at all, it might work and I hope it does so I can fit into that tight Rockin’ Beats outfit again,” replied Melody.
“More importantly, it’ll give us the waistline that lets our clothes become wearable again without tearing,” said Starlight.
“Starlight’s right, the last thing we want is for us to outgrow what we bought two weeks ago,” added Bright Eyes.
“Keep at, everyone and we’ll meet back at the clubhouse in another week. You’ll do better next time, Clover, see you all later,” said Starlight. *They all head their separate ways*
“A long way to go still but an even longer celebration afterwards,” thought Patch.
