Eric gave it is all. He intended to get his weight down and his speed and agility back to be the star football player in college he was destined to be. He knew the coach was disappointed and that he would have to work like crazy after reporting to practice over weight and out of shape. Somehow it hadn't been quite so easy as he thought. Eric's plan was to eat healthy and work hard to get his weight down under 200. Tim and Joe, his competition were lean and in shape from the start and Eric couldn't match them no matter how hard he worked. Coach had allowed him in the game a few times and each time, Eric had been clumsy and slow. No matter how hard he worked he just couldn't drop below 215 with a pronounced ring of flabby softness around his middle and a big ass.
Eric sighed as he watched Tim swivel and dodge down the field for another touchdown. Joe was almost as good and the two were always riding him about his gut. Eric was starving himself and those two could eat anything and keep their weight. It wasn't fair.
It had been a disappointing season for Eric. Now all he could do was focus on next year. He would show them.
Jogging back to the locker room he tried sucking in his gut.
"Give it up, Tank. You just can't make that puppy go away." Joe wasn't really mean but then he had never known the old Eric who would have whupped his butt.
"You'll be sorry, twink, when some widebody tackle grinds your skinny ass into the ground."
Eric tried to look confident.
"My skinny ass is never going to get caught by some lumbering widebody. It's chunky old you that should be worried. Oh, I forgot, you spend all your time on the bench. Coach likes you there because your wide old ass keeps that bench really warm."
Eric slowed to let Joe run on. He couldn't take any more and besides this jogging was really getting him winded.
"The nerve of Joe making fun of him like that. Eric was twice the athlete that Joe would ever be- as soon as he got back in shape. "
Eric kept to himself fr the rest of the season just putting in the time. He stopped starving himself but tried to eat healthy and by the end of the semester he was back at 225. He was in way better shape than the beginning of the season but still heavy. Well he wasn't going to worry about it now. There was plenty of time before next season. Eric enjoyed the holidays especially
