Rob Despairs At His New Weight Gain
by: Unknown
"How could this have happened to me?" Rob said, his voice cracking just a bit. "I used to be so in-shape, and I've never had to care about my weight before. God, I've turned into such a lardass. What am I gonna do?"
And with that, he gave away completely. He started sobbing uncontrollably.
Josh put an arm on Rob's shoulder. "Hey man, there's nothing to cry about. You can fix it."
"Easy for you to say," Rob retorted through his tears. "Mister Fitness Model here who actually enjoys all those fat-free foods. You've probably had it easy your whole life too."
"That's not true," Josh said, calmly, as he moved closer to the sobbing Rob. "Look, I haven't told too many people this, but I used to be incredibly obese. When I was fourteen, I was around three hundred pounds and climbing. I'd eat fatty foods all day long. I couldn't stop myself. I actually had an addiction to food. My parents put me on a diet and got me exercising around that time, and it took me three years to finally get a hold of these puppies." He patted his abs. "That's why I was so concerned when you sat down to eat all that food. I didn't want you to end up like I did."
"Oh my god," said Rob. "I had no idea."
"You wouldn't have had any idea," said Josh.
"I'm sorry," said Rob, looking him straight in the eye as he said this.
Josh met his gaze, and then said: "You want to make it up to me?" he asked.
"Yes," said Rob, wanting to make things right with his roommate. "I'll do anything."
"Anything?"
"Yeah, anything."
Josh grinned slyly and said, "All right. I want you to...."
