Conner liked to think that his 240 pounds on a 5'9" frame was stocky. Other's might disagree. At 160 with a small belly and pointy moobs when he went away to college he was just slightly heavier than thehealth charts suggested. By graduation he had thickened up to 200 with a genuine paunch and the years at a desk job and added another 40 pounds distribsuted between his butt, belly and chest.
Conner never tried to gain weight although he wasn't unhappy when it happened. And lately he seemed to need more food. The cafeteria at his new employer seemed eager to make him happy. It seemed that his coworkers were all fatter than he and downright gluttonous hogs. At first Conner was moderate but moderation did not seem right when there was so much food so easily available and when everyone else ate like hogs.
Conner shared a cube with Darren. Darren was a few years older and maybe 50 pounds heavier than Conner. He was married with two kids. From the look of the wedding pictures on his desk Darren must have packed on 150 pounds on a slender runner's frame. Conner was amazed that a stringy athlete was now a wide assed desk jocky with a double chin moobs and a belly that pushed into his desk when he worked. Darren snacked continually from a well stocked drawer in his desk. There seemed to be a never ending supply of candy bars, little debbie cakes and other treats. Not to mention Darren's habit of snagging six donuts each time he refilled his coffee mug.
If Conner had wanted to forget about food, it would never happen so long as he shared space with Darren. Not that Conner minded.
