Madison's summer in Miami
by: Unknown
Ron knew it would be 10 weeks until he saw Madison again. He would have liked to taken her to an elaborate dinner but their night together was for both of them great – they’d even ordered in some pizza. The memory was burned into his mind. Sure, she’d gained some weight but he knew he’d enabled a good part of it and liked the results.
All during their relationship he’d taken her out dining to a better restaurant such Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden at least once a month. He’d also joined her for “study” lunches that seemed to focus in studying the latest edible novelties in the Powers dining hall – there always seemed to something. He’d also introduced her to a variety of fast food emporiums as part of off campus weekend excursions. Madison had come to know all about McDonald’s double jalapeno burgers, Hardee’s Texas BBQ Thick burgers, Arby’s roast beef and cheddar burgers and smokehouse brisket sandwiches, and IHOP’s Burrito and pancake breakfast combo, among others.
Madison had changed in her first college year and he couldn't help but wonder what would occur when she returned home. Madison wondered as well, but the fact was that she wasn't of a mind to give up her new interest in food and wasn’t really upset at the results. She went along with Cassie’s philosophy that eventually she would find a balance between her base metabolism and her food intake – but hadn’t really done the math to figure it out. Had she done so she would have discovered the balance point to be well over 200 pounds.
Back in Florida her parents were initially wondering as well. They were expecting a larger Madison because of her emails and decided ahead of time to keep a discreet silence. Despite the anticipation they were still a bit surprised at her 40 pound plus expansion but were pleased with her grades and concerned mostly about her happiness.
Mrs Kraft initially served the same kind o breakfast Madison had previously consumed – toast, fruit and cereal. Madison accepted it but inwardly felt deprived. It was far less than she had become used to. Her mom could tell it wasn’t enough and asked her for suggestions,
“We eat more at Powers,” Madison stated factually. An omelet with hash browns would be nice, or maybe an enchilada casserole. I’ve become quite the gourmet at college – as you can tell. It’s a great way to keep up your energy for studies.”
Her Mom felt her daughter was asserting herself as a test, and decided to play along.
“Well, if its what you’re used to I’ll try and be more creative. You seem to actually enjoy having gained so much weight,” she remarked
“Well, I do need to slow down the pace perhaps, but yeah. I’ve gotten used to being a big girl and Ron like it so why not?” she answered.
Her friends from high school were initially shocked at how much she’d ballooned, but since she obviously was happy hesitated to confront her. Madison then introduced them to some of her favorite treats and they came to accept her change, even sharing some meals.
The result? After 10 weeks Madison had picked up 12 more pounds, much to Ron’s delight when she confessed to it in an email.
