~BBW (Multiple), Romance - A teenager at weight camp falls in love and chooses to be fat.
[Author's Note: This story is based on a movie I love called "But I'm a cheerleader," only instead of sexual rehabilitation my character is sent to weight rehab.]
Lily was your average girl: pretty, popular, loved music, movies, and she loved to dance. She had been taking dancing lessons since she was in kindergarten and was one of the top dancers in her class. She almost always was the lead in recitals and classmates hated it. However, after some time she got tired of it, as she had hardly anytime to herself with school, homework, her boyfriend, etc... She just wanted a break.
That is where the trouble began; her weight started going up without the constant exercise. Her family and friends noticed, of course, but figured it was just a phase that she would get out of soon.
Lily opened her locker and pulled out her science book and slipped it into her backpack as her best friend Sara came up. Lily looked at the pictures on her locker door for a moment while she twirled her straight blonde hair. Pictures of colorful candies and such were covering her locker door.
This disgusted Sara who mainly stuck to eating only vegetables. Hey Lily, you should try this new diet I am on. Its called Keep It Trim, you eat nothing but lettuce for a whole week, she said with an encouraging smile at her friend.
Lily closed her locker and gave a meek smile, No I dont think thats for me, it sounds very unhealthy.
As Sara was about to open her mouth again, Tod Hamil, the school quarterback came up behind Lily and gave her a hug. Hey, pretty lady, how you doin? When Lily turned around to reply he kissed her and shoved his tongue in her mouth.
Lily thought not liking her boyfriend's kiss was natural, so she just went along with it and hoped it would be over soon. He pulled away from her and smiled. Lets go out tonight.
No Tod, Im sorry. I have to study.
Oh, Lily, you always have to study, he said with a frown.
I know, but I wanna get into a good college.
Tod walked off angry, she never seemed to wanna go out with him. Why did she start dating him anyways?
Lily walked home from school ready to take on science. She was eighteen now and wanted to major in science in college. Maybe I will find a cure for idiocy, she laughed to herself.
She opened the gate to her home and walked up the sidewalk. It was an average middle-class home, not too expensive, not too cheap. It was very clean, with cute lawn gnomes decorating the grass. Lily hated them; when she was younger she thought they were going to come to life at night and eat her.
She opened the front door and laid her backpack by the door, and walking down the hall to the living room, saw her parents, boyfriend, Sara, and a man she had never met before who wore long dreadlocks in his hair. Hey everybody, whats going on? she asked.
The man got up and put out his hand,Hello Lily, I'm Steve Williams. I'm a counselor at Ms. Carolines Weight Rehab, he said kindly.
Weight Rehab? she asked in shock.
Her mother stood up from the couch,Sweetheart, since you have stopped dancing you have put on a lot of weight and it needs to stop now.
But I only put on 10 pounds.
Lily, your mother is right. You have gotten very piggish, said Tod. I cant even stand hugging you.
Yeah, piped up Sara. You're, like, going to explode if you dont stop.
Lily took a deep breath to calm her nerves and then spoke. I am a dancer, I cannot get fat..
I was once fat too, Steve interrupted her. I used to eat a lot and my body took the punishment, but then I went to Ms. Carolines and she taught me how to be healthy and stay fit, then made me a counselor.
I am not fat, Lily stated.
Prove it, said Steve pointing to the scale in the middle of the floor. She hadn't noticed it there before.
Lily nodded and walked over to the scale. Her heart raced a little. She was 110 pounds when she was dancing, and last she checked she was 120. She stepped on and the needle moved past 90 ... 100 ... 110 ... 120 ... 130 ... 140 ... 150 ... It stopped at 160. Her eyes got so wide they practically fell out of her head.
Her father stood up and spoke, Thats it. End of conversation. Youre going.
* * * * * *
The car pulled into the driveway of what looked like a pink mansion. Lily looked out the window, nearly in tears. She didnt think she was fat at all, but that didnt stop her parents from forcing her to go. What would she do?
Her mother nudged her out of the open car door and escorted her to the steps where an eager Steven Williams was wearing all blue.
Her parents said their goodbyes to her and Steven took her arm and lead her inside, to a room where girls and boys around her age were sitting in chairs arranged in a circle. Lily sat down by a rather large girl wearing all black. She was pale and had several earrings. Lily tried not to stare; she didnt want to appear rude.
A tall, thin, blonde and very perky woman, who could only be Ms. Caroline, entered the room wearing a pink dress that had a carrot on the chest. She clapped her hands. Attention my round friends, she said in a sweet voice.
As you all know this is rehab for people of larger weight. Here we will go through steps to become happy, healthy and fit. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Would anyone like to start?
The girl next to Lily got up rather quickly, Yeah, Im Mia, and Im fat.
Everyone around the room started to do the same, except for Lily. She stood up. Im not fat, she said.
Ms. Caroline smiled. It is very natural to go into denial, but we will help you realize the truth.
I am not fat! Lily said hotly.
Ms. Carolines smile got wider and she nodded, then turned to a table at the side of the room and picked up a white box. If everyone if will go into the other room, you will find five boxes stacked up with your named on them. Inside you will find three uniforms and two night outfits. You will get more soon, I assure you. These are just to start with."
* * * * * *
Lily sat in the pink room, with five pink twin beds and five pink dressers, wearing her pink uniform dress. She never thought she could be so sick of a color. Mias bed was right by hers. The pink made her hair and skin stand out more. Mia looked even bigger in the uniform, probably around 250. Her belly and breasts stood out compared to the rest, but her butt wasnt small in the least. Lily grabbed one of her pink pillows and hugged it.
Hey blonde, said a girl with short black hair and black and white makeup, sitting on bed in front of hers. What are you in here for?
Lily looked at her nearly in tears again. My parents think Im fat.
Mia laughed, My dad said if I dont lose weight Ill be taken out of his Will.
The girl spoke again, Im Britney, Im 18. Thats Mia, 19."
Lily, 18."
The two other girls walked in and laughed, their bellies jiggling. Oh, what would become of poor Lily?
* * * * * *
In another pink room, there were three stoves and a table lined with three white cutting boards and pink canisters holding things for chopping and such. Ms. Caroline had everyone pick a buddy to cook with, but chose Lily as her own.
Chop slowly ladies, we dont want a finger in our salads, she laughed.
Lily was actually having fun, as she loved to cook and hoped they would be learning to make more complicated dishes.
Outside the boys, wearing blue shirts and shorts, were following Stevens directions about chopping wood. Joshua, who was the thinnest of them at 200 pounds, lifted his axe too fast and hit the tree Steven was leaning against. The girls saw this through the window and giggled at the sight of Steven nearly falling over in shock.
Calm down girls, this isnt the time for jokes. Someone could get hurt, stated Ms. Caroline.
* * * * * * *
It had been two weeks since she started here and Lily still refused to admit she was fat. Today, though, was Parents Day. Parents came to watch one of the sessions. All of the kids had lost a few pounds, except for Lily, who hadnt lost a single pound.
Ms. Caroline had them talk to their parents about why they think they were fat. Lily just looked down. Her belly was bigger than it had been before, in fact, it was starting to form rolls.
She stood up abruptly. Im sorry to interrupt, but Im fat!
Ms. Caroline smiled, I told you, you would realize it sooner or later. Now you can go on and live happy and healthy and fit!
Everyone clapped.
Ms. Caroline spoke again, Now Lily, why do you think you are fat?
Lily turned to her parents, Well, I had been so tired from school, dancing, and homework, that when I finally got a break I guess I just got lazy. I am sorry, Ill work hard to get thin again.
* * * * * *
After that things got a little better, and she no longer felt like an outcast. Now she could move on to the next step of rehabilitation.
A change in diet was a must since they had arrived there, and the next step was staying active with daily things. Ms. Caroline showed them how scrubbing floors was a good exercise. They were all on their hands and knees scrubbing the floor listening to Ms. Caroline talk about which muscles it was working. Suddenly there was yelling outside and everyone got up and ran to the front to see what was happening. Two rather plump men in hippy-style outfits were holding signs and yelling, Health isnt thin!
Ms. Caroline and Steve ran down there trying to get them to leave, threatening to call the cops.
Ms. Caroline, said the tallest man. You tortured me with your programs, and starved me just because I didnt lose the weight. You are a mean son of..
LEAVE THIS INSTANT YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING HIPPY! Ms. Caroline screamed. If I ever see you on my premises again I will surely call the police and have you arrested!
The shorter man hugged the taller man, and said Oh well be back! I promise," in a feminine tone. They got into their multi-colored van and drove off.
Who were they? asked Lily
Britney looked at her in what seemed like shocked and said, They used to go here, but were kicked out.
Ms. Caroline walked back up to the door and straightened her apron with her gloved hands, then stated rather shaky, Back to class all of you!
* * * * * *
Lily wake up! said Britney in a hushed voice while poking Lilys belly.
Whats going on? Lily asked groggily.
We are going to a buffet! Take that nightgown off and put on some normal clothes. Let's pig out!
At the back of the mansion Lily stood there in jeans, a shirt, and a hoodie. All the girls gathered around the multi-colored van and got in the back. It was a tight fit with the five boys in there, but they managed. The two hippy-dressed men were in the front of the van.
The shorter man spoke first Im Ben, and this stud next to me is Jerry.
Hey! said Jerry.
Just call us your local Save the Chubs organization, Ben laughed.
When they got out of the van, they stood there nearly passing out at the smell of the good food. Walking in to the restaurant was amazing. They had grown used to seeing just pink and blue and now they were seeing brown, yellow, orange, red, and many other colors.
They all got plates filled with food and sat down with them in different booths. Lily hadnt ever eaten this much in her life. She looked at her plate wondering why she loaded it with so much spaghetti and pizza. They all dug into their food like ravenous animals. It tasted so good! Real food finally going down their throat. Lily was full after the first plate but got dessert anyways, a big slice of chocolate cream pie. When she finally finished it her belly was poking out of her shirt a little. Mia had been sitting beside her and saw the little bit of flesh and rubbed it. Realizing what she had done, they both blushed and turned facing the other direction.
Getting into the van with full bellies was harder than with empty ones. Again Mia and Lily were squished together, but this time they were blushing the entire way back.
* * * * * *
Once a week they would go to the buffet and stuff themselves silly. A month went by and it is was time for another weigh-in. Ms. Caroline was disgusted because they had all gained at least five pounds. As punishment, she made them do extra chores and other exercises and introduced the stinger.
The stinger was a device to shock the patient every time they felt like eating something fattening, so they would learn not to. Fattening equals pain. Everyone was shocking each other like mad, but it wasnt helping. They were still growing. More work as punishment.
* * * * * *
Lily woke up from an odd dream in which she had been kissing Mia! She got up and looked across from her. Britney was apparently using her stinger because there was a buzzing sound with slight light coming from under her covers as she moaned slightly. Lily laid back down and tried to sleep again but the buzzing wouldnt stop.
The next day they got ready for their hike with Steven as punishment for their new pounds. Sweat was almost pouring off almost all of them except, of course, Steve. He was peppy and perky the entire time.
Back at the mansion, Ms. Caroline was cleaning and pulled out a pair of jeans from under Britneys bed. To her disgust, a small package of after-dinner mints fell out of the pocket with the name Eat Yourself Round printed in gold lettering. She knew that buffet and was in a rage.
The entire group of patients stood in a row as Ms. Caroline lectured them.
This is horrible! Do you know what you are doing to your bodies? You just want to get fatter, dont you? No more lunches for any of you until you all lose the weight you have recently gained. The doors will be bolted shut. I will not have you pigging out with those good-for-nothing hippies!
* * * * * *
Marco and Joshua had gotten caught with bars of Hershey's chocolate. Joshua was kicked out, but Marco said he would stay and finish the rehabilitation as the rules stated. People mourned the loss of a good friend. Joshua would no longer be there to make them laugh with his jokes, and tell them what odd things, like squid, tasted like.
Mia sat on the steps in front of the mansion one afternoon while she smoked a cigarette. Lily sat beside her thinking that she must have missed her good friend an awful lot.
Im sure you will see him again, she said in a hopeful voice.
That isnt whats bothering me, Mia said calmly. I have feelings for you and you have feelings for me. How in the world would you hold your head up dating me?
Lily looked at her. She had never liked someone like this, not even her own boyfriend.
Easy. Be myself.
Lily laid her head on Mias shoulder. Mia smiled and put her arm around her. Things were about to get very interesting around here. It was just a matter of time.
* * * * * *
It was past one in the morning as Mia and Lily snuck into Ms. Carolines empty office. Mia eagerly opened one of the desk drawers where confiscated candy awaited them. Lily and Mia sat down by the desk, kissing and eating. Lily giggled slightly and suddenly the lights came on. They both jumped up to see Ms. Caroline in her nightgown with Britney standing beside her. Mia and Lily looked at each other and knew it was over.
Lily was sitting in the office while Ms. Caroline told her the news.
I called your parents and they said you are no longer their daughter unless you finish the program. You can finish the program or pack your things and leave. Mia has decided to stay and finish the program like a good girl should.
Lily was carrying her bags out the door. She had only one place she might be able to go, and she hoped they wouldnt turn her away.
* * * * * *
Ben and Jerry lived about two miles away from the pink mansion, in a cabin-like home, with a rainbow flag by the door. Lily walked up to the door and knocked. The door opened and the taller hippy opened the door.
Who is it, sweetiekins? asked a feminine voice that came from the shorter, rounder hippy.
Its one of them patients of the She-Devils, he said to his partner.
Oh my! Come in here this instant and eat something and tell us everything, he said pulling a bag from her.
Lily explained everything as Ben kept exclaiming, Oh my! to just about everything. They told her that she could stay as long as she liked and that once she found a job they would figure out what to do about schooling.
Lily sat at the table, full from an actual meal of burgers and fries. She was rubbing her full belly when the door opened. Joshua walked in. Lily jumped up and squealed then hugged him as hard as she could.
Apparently, Joshua had also been kicked out of his home and came to live with Ben and Jerry. He had also gained a few pounds. When Lily told him everything that happened he got an idea.
Why dont we bust her out at the graduation ceremony this Friday? he shouted.
Ben put down a tray of cookies on the coffee table. Thats a wonderful idea isnt it, teddy bear? he asked gleefully.
Yes, sweetie, that sounds like something I would do, said Jerry as he grabbed a cookie from the tray.
They talked over the details as they ate. Lily hoped it would work but wasnt sure.
* * * * * *
The van pulled up behind the mansion. Lily, Joshua, Ben, and Jerry got out wearing all-black clothing. It was time to take action. They split up. Lily headed towards the side of the mansion where they had been preparing the ceremony before she left. She saw the remaining four boys in blue suits and the girls in pink, poofy dresses. Their parents were sitting in chairs listening to Ms. Caroline speak of health and fitness before announcing the names of the graduates who would get their diploma. Mia walked over to the podium, where Ms. Caroline held her diploma. Lily ran out into the isle.
MIA! she yelled.
Mia looked at her in disbelief.
Mia, I love you. You are the closest friend I have ever had. Will you please just come with me and be fat and happy with me? she asked, while hoping this wasnt a wasted attempt.
Go away! I want to be healthy! Mia said and turned around to a smiling Ms. Caroline.
Tears fell from Lilys eyes she walked back to the van. Jerry patted her on the back as Ben took a napkin and wiped her eyes. She opened the back of the van and began to step in.
LILY!
Lily turned to see an out of breath Mia running toward her. Mia lunged at Lily; they landed in the van and hugged. A kiss can save a persons soul. Their kiss saved two.
Oh, poopsy, doesnt it just make you want to cry? asked a very tearful Ben. Jerry nodded and put his arm around his crying lover's shoulder.

But Im A Dancer!

Lily was your average girl: pretty, popular, loved music, movies, and she loved to dance. She had been taking dancing lessons since she was in kindergarten and was one of the top dancers in her class. She almost always was the lead in recitals and classmates hated it. However, after some time she got tired of it, as she had hardly anytime to herself with school, homework, her boyfriend, etc... She just wanted a break.
That is where the trouble began; her weight started going up without the constant exercise. Her family and friends noticed, of course, but figured it was just a phase that she would get out of soon.
Lily opened her locker and pulled out her science book and slipped it into her backpack as her best friend Sara came up. Lily looked at the pictures on her locker door for a moment while she twirled her straight blonde hair. Pictures of colorful candies and such were covering her locker door.
This disgusted Sara who mainly stuck to eating only vegetables. Hey Lily, you should try this new diet I am on. Its called Keep It Trim, you eat nothing but lettuce for a whole week, she said with an encouraging smile at her friend.
Lily closed her locker and gave a meek smile, No I dont think thats for me, it sounds very unhealthy.
As Sara was about to open her mouth again, Tod Hamil, the school quarterback came up behind Lily and gave her a hug. Hey, pretty lady, how you doin? When Lily turned around to reply he kissed her and shoved his tongue in her mouth.
Lily thought not liking her boyfriend's kiss was natural, so she just went along with it and hoped it would be over soon. He pulled away from her and smiled. Lets go out tonight.

Oh, Lily, you always have to study, he said with a frown.
I know, but I wanna get into a good college.
Tod walked off angry, she never seemed to wanna go out with him. Why did she start dating him anyways?
Lily walked home from school ready to take on science. She was eighteen now and wanted to major in science in college. Maybe I will find a cure for idiocy, she laughed to herself.
She opened the gate to her home and walked up the sidewalk. It was an average middle-class home, not too expensive, not too cheap. It was very clean, with cute lawn gnomes decorating the grass. Lily hated them; when she was younger she thought they were going to come to life at night and eat her.
She opened the front door and laid her backpack by the door, and walking down the hall to the living room, saw her parents, boyfriend, Sara, and a man she had never met before who wore long dreadlocks in his hair. Hey everybody, whats going on? she asked.

I called your parents and they said you are no longer their daughter unless you finish the program. You can finish the program or pack your things and leave. Mia has decided to stay and finish the program like a good girl should.
Lily was carrying her bags out the door. She had only one place she might be able to go, and she hoped they wouldnt turn her away.

Ben and Jerry lived about two miles away from the pink mansion, in a cabin-like home, with a rainbow flag by the door. Lily walked up to the door and knocked. The door opened and the taller hippy opened the door.
Who is it, sweetiekins? asked a feminine voice that came from the shorter, rounder hippy.
Its one of them patients of the She-Devils, he said to his partner.
Oh my! Come in here this instant and eat something and tell us everything, he said pulling a bag from her.
Lily explained everything as Ben kept exclaiming, Oh my! to just about everything. They told her that she could stay as long as she liked and that once she found a job they would figure out what to do about schooling.
Lily sat at the table, full from an actual meal of burgers and fries. She was rubbing her full belly when the door opened. Joshua walked in. Lily jumped up and squealed then hugged him as hard as she could.
Apparently, Joshua had also been kicked out of his home and came to live with Ben and Jerry. He had also gained a few pounds. When Lily told him everything that happened he got an idea.
Why dont we bust her out at the graduation ceremony this Friday? he shouted.
Ben put down a tray of cookies on the coffee table. Thats a wonderful idea isnt it, teddy bear? he asked gleefully.
Yes, sweetie, that sounds like something I would do, said Jerry as he grabbed a cookie from the tray.
They talked over the details as they ate. Lily hoped it would work but wasnt sure.

The van pulled up behind the mansion. Lily, Joshua, Ben, and Jerry got out wearing all-black clothing. It was time to take action. They split up. Lily headed towards the side of the mansion where they had been preparing the ceremony before she left. She saw the remaining four boys in blue suits and the girls in pink, poofy dresses. Their parents were sitting in chairs listening to Ms. Caroline speak of health and fitness before announcing the names of the graduates who would get their diploma. Mia walked over to the podium, where Ms. Caroline held her diploma. Lily ran out into the isle.
MIA! she yelled.
Mia looked at her in disbelief.
Mia, I love you. You are the closest friend I have ever had. Will you please just come with me and be fat and happy with me? she asked, while hoping this wasnt a wasted attempt.
Go away! I want to be healthy! Mia said and turned around to a smiling Ms. Caroline.
Tears fell from Lilys eyes she walked back to the van. Jerry patted her on the back as Ben took a napkin and wiped her eyes. She opened the back of the van and began to step in.
LILY!
Lily turned to see an out of breath Mia running toward her. Mia lunged at Lily; they landed in the van and hugged. A kiss can save a persons soul. Their kiss saved two.
Oh, poopsy, doesnt it just make you want to cry? asked a very tearful Ben. Jerry nodded and put his arm around his crying lover's shoulder.
