Chapter 4

By Sunday evening Lexi was back in her college dorm in Texas, it had been nice to see her family but after being home for four days, she was more than ready to leave. Tomorrow she would be starting her job at Denny's and she couldn't wait to finally start making some money, even if it was only $15 an hour, she wasn't looking forward to the actual working part of the job however.

"Hi there, you must be Lexi?".


"Yep", Lexi responded.


"My names Kim and I'm your branch manager, do you need a uniform?", Kim asked.


"Yeah", replied Lexi.


"Okay there's a box of new uniforms in my office, go in and find a pair of pants and a shirt that fits and let me know the size and I'll get a few sets ready for you to take home when your shift is over", instructed Kim.


"No problem", said Lexi.


Lexi briefly eyed a size 4 shirt and a pair of 6 size pants, her usual size, but rightly suspected they wouldn't be comfortable and opted for the size 6 shirt and size 8 pants, just until she lost some weight, what surprised Lexi was just how well they fit.


"Size 6 shirt and size 8 pants", said Lexi.


"No problem", Kim replied as she took a note in her phone, "come on then, I'll give you the walk round".

Lexi got her break at 7pm, by which point she had grown pretty hungry, she'd only just found out today that she got her meals free while she worked, and got 50% discount the rest of the time, this news had been music to her ears as she knew she'd be able to save a lot of money. Lexi decided to have a bbq bacon cheeseburger, with fries and a coke, the whole meal totalled just over 1600 calories and she didn't leave a single bite.


"So how was your first taste of Denny's?", asked Kim, as she was passing by and noticed Lexi's empty plate.


"It was amazing actually, I can't believe I'd never eaten here before", Lexi replied.


Having only known Lexi a few hours, Kim already couldn't stand her, she'd just started working here and was already walking around like she owned the place. It only took one look at Lexi and you could instantly tell she was in love with herself, the way she looked down on everyone like she was better than them, it really pissed Kim off. If it had been up to her she would never have hired Lexi, but she couldn't just get rid of her now because at the end of the day she hadn't actually done anything wrong, the facts were, Kim was jealous of her, not that she'd ever admit it. Kim had worked at Denny's for 6 years, back when she first started she was a beautiful 19 year old with a great body only weighing 130lbs at 5ft7, but during her time here it was safe to say she'd put on a few. Now at 25 years old, Kim did still have a pretty face behind the chubby cheeks and double chin, but she had grown into a very fat girl, weighing a hefty 287lbs, her weight was distributed well but the main attraction was definitely her big belly. She had piled on most of the weight in the first 2 years, shooting up to 235lbs, and since then her gain had been steady.


"Yeah that's crazy, it is so good though and now you're lucky enough to get it for free", smiled Kim.


"I just better not eat too much though, wouldn't wanna get fat", Lexi half smirked.


'What a little bitch, was that seriously a dig, I'd like to see her after working here for 6 years, she's already stuffing her face on her first shift', Kim thought, 'literally nothing would make me happier than seeing this smug cow get fat'.

On Lexi's second shift Kim introduced her to their milkshakes in attempt to get her hooked, after all, she knew they'd been a key factor in her own gain.


"Oh my god, that's the best milkshake I've ever had", exclaimed Lexi, after taking her first sip of the thick oreo shake.


Kim's mission had turned out a clear success as Lexi ended up having a milkshake every shift, the problem was, Lexi only did 2 shifts a week. She had also started going to the gym 2 nights a week with Amber and Ally, as they'd both managed to gain some weight too through their excessive partying and Amber thought it'd be a good idea for them to go. The weight they had gained wasn't anywhere near as noticeable as Lexi's, with Ally gaining about 12lbs and Amber just gaining 8lbs, but this was the most Amber had weighed, and she felt she had to make some attempt to lose it. The girls made one of their weekly gym sessions a cardio session, and Lexi quickly realised she was by far the most unfit of the three, it was a foreign feeling to her getting so out of breath so fast, she'd never been this out of shape in her life. Although she had the worst cardio of three, when it came to their second gym session of the week which was their leg day, Lexi was able to lift a good bit more weight than Ally and Amber.


Over the next four weeks leading up to Christmas break the three girls consistently made it to the gym for their two sessions a week, Amber managed to lose 5lbs putting her at very slim 123lbs for her 5ft8 frame, Ally only lost 2lbs making her 130lbs in total, and Lexi actually managed to gain 2lbs, sure she had been working hard at the gym but her diet was just too bad for her to possibly lose any weight, especially when she was only working out for two hours a week, with only one of those hours being cardio. The extra 2lbs wasn't noticeable on her at all and her mother was certainly happy to see her coming home for Christmas not looking any bigger.


After Christmas when Lexi was back in Texas, she decided to go on a bit of a shopping spree with the money she'd got for Christmas from her family. At first she'd tried on a pair of jeans in a size 6, but of course they were tight, so she decided just to buy her clothes in the size up for now, size 8 bottoms and size 6 tops, she just didn't buy tons as she didn't want to waste too much money on clothes that would be too big soon. What she did waste A LOT of money on however, was a Louis Vuitton bag that she just 'had to have', Lexi also bought a couple of pairs of shoes bringing her total spend to around $3000, despite only receiving $600 from her family.


Lexi soon realised she was going to have to earn more money to keep up with her spending, she was currently making around $300 a week including her tips for working two six hour shifts, but it just wasn't enough. She wanted to start doing five shifts a week but didn't want to jump straight from two to five, so she worked three shifts the first week, then four, and by the end of January she was up to working five.


Kim had been buzzing with Lexi's request to work more hours as she knew this would help massively in chunking her up, she gave her the exact shifts she wanted, 4pm-10pm Sunday-Thursday, and she also told her she could work exclusively on the payment desk, so she was sitting on her ass all night rather than waiting tables. Lexi's now very busy schedule saw her no longer being able to make time for the gym, as it was fully cut from her routine, Amber and Ally continued going without her but their consistency certainly fell off a bit.


*February 17th, Friday*


"I really gotta get back into a routine at the gym, I feel so chubby", complained Ally, as she got dressed in front of the mirror.


"Are you kidding me, you're skinny as hell", Lexi exclaimed.


"Hardly, I've gained 18 pounds since moving in here", Ally argued.


"That's nothing on you, especially with how tall you are. Do you have a scale then?", asked Lexi.


"Yeah, in the bathroom at the side of the cabinet", Amber answered.


"I gotta see how much I weigh", said Lexi, as she got up off the sofa and headed for the bathroom.


"Okay, let's see how bad it is", Lexi said to herself before stepping onto the scale.


*168.0*


"Fuck, that's a lot!", said Lexi.


"I'm 168 pounds!", Lexi exclaimed, as she re-joined Amber and Ally.


"You've nothing to worry about Lexi, you carry it so well, pretty much all of that weight is in that juicy ass", giggled Amber, as she shot Lexi's butt an obvious stare.


A lot of the weight definitely found its way to Lexi's voluptuous ass, but that wasn't the only place it was going, on her short 5ft3 frame the 42lbs she'd gained since starting college were really showing, her thighs were getting very big, and her arms were getting meatier, her breasts were bursting out of her bra's, which she had zero complaints about, one thing she did have complaints about however, was her growing belly, it was now undeniably chubby and when she sat down her thickening spare tire hung a little over her panties, it had become so soft and she could now grab a full handful in her little hands. It was a slippery slope from thick to chubby, and Lexi had learned that the hard way as she had now moved into 'out of shape chubby girl' territory.


Lexi knew she had to make a change, but rather than actually doing anything about it she just opted to complain. The thing was, she was actually making pretty decent money now, her basic rate wasn't impressive as she only actually got paid $450 a week, but she was absolutely killing it with her tips, averaging around an extra $300 every week. The funny thing was, she did absolutely nothing to really deserve a tip, she just sat at the desk all night taking payments, but with a face as pretty as hers, people are always going to throw money her way, and Lexi could throw it away as soon as she got it. The reality was she could easily survive working 2/3 days a week so she had some time for the gym, but her obsession with buying designer things required as much money as possible, of course she could go to the gym on her days off, but she was always too hungover from drinking. As for Lexi's diet, she was never going to cook her own meals, so that meant she was always ordering, or eating the free food from her work, she'd acknowledge that she had to eat healthier but still continued to eat at least one burger a day, usually from Denny's or Burger King. The reality was Lexi had just become very comfortable in her routine, her very unhealthy routine.


Skylar woke up on Saturday morning to find that her last two cookies had been eaten along with one of her triple chocolate muffins, this was becoming a regular occurrence. Lexi would come home absolutely wasted and raid Skylar's snacks, it didn't really bother Skylar though, so she never brought it up, it was honestly nice to see a girl like Lexi eating so much. 'She really is packing on the pounds though', Skylar thought, as she looked at Lexi fast as sleep in her bed, the covers were kicked off and her small pyjama top had rolled up, exposing her lower belly. Skylar's thoughts were a little hypocritical though, she was already a fat girl when she started college but since then she had gained another 20lbs or so putting her at a little over 250, only standing at 5ft4.


Lexi slept till about 1pm and when she did eventually wake up, she had a killer hangover, "are you hungry, cuz I need so much fucking food right now", Lexi said groggily.


"Obviously", Skylar laughed, after gesturing to her fat body with one hand, "what do you wanna get?".


"Burger King, sound good?", Lexi replied.


"I'm down, what you gonna order?", asked Skylar.


"Umm.. Let me have a look, what are you having?", replied Lexi.


"I'm not sure yet. I'll order it on my phone so shout out when you know what you want", said Skylar.


"Okay.. Get me a bacon king with large fries and an oreo shake, 10 nuggets and 8 chilli cheese bites", Lexi probably would have been a little embarrassed by her order in different company, but with Skylar she felt no shame, probably because Skylar was a fat girl who was always eating.


"Oh we EATING, eating, I'm getting a chicken king deluxe with large fries and an oreo shake, 20 nuggets and 8 mozzarella sticks", smiled Skylar.


By the time the food arrived both girls were ravenous and didn't waste a second in getting tucked in. After almost half an hour Skylar had completely finished everything she'd ordered, a grand total of around 4000 calories in her fat swollen belly, and she was STUFFED, seriously stuffed, which made it that much more impressive that Lexi had almost finished her own order. It was slightly smaller totalling about 3300 calories, but that was still a ridiculously big meal and Lexi was tiny compared to Skylar, her belly was literally half the size, and she was almost matching her for eating.


"I honestly feel like I'm gonna pop but I can't stop eating", groaned Lexi before biting into her last nugget.


"That just means the food is good", laughed Skylar.


"I think it's time for a nap, I gotta sleep this off", Lexi said.
