A Heavy Look in the Mirror
Redbow Rose was looking at the fattest pony in Ponyville. Her belly was huge, a globe of fat that grumbled with a hunger that could decimate buffets. The breasts resting on it were large as well, swollen with fat and big as ripe melons, yet soft enough to jiggle with each movement. Her rear was very plump as well, with wide hips and thick thighs to match. Her chubby arms were posed, one with a hand on her belly with the other scratching the back of her head. The only thing about her that wasn’t huge and jiggly was her head, and even then her neck was a bit thick with a layer of chub.
“How in the wide world of Equs did this happen?” The red pegasus asked her reflection as her light blue eyes gazed over what she saw. Something like realizing just how fat she was should have happened long ago. Like when all her smaller clothes didn’t fit anymore, though she brushed it off as shrinking in the wash. Then was the jiggle she felt as she walked, but the young mare attributed it to the “freshmare 15” everypony got when they lived on their own the for first time.
She should have noticed when bags of chips she bought tended to disappear the day they were brought home, but she again blamed it on bad eating habits that would be easily fixed. Of course, the day her large gut showed no matter how much she pulled her shirts down had to be a sign right? Redbow responded to that with another blame of the innocent washing machine. That was how things went for a few months, the mare gaining and ignoring the evidence to the fact, no matter how hard it was getting to fly or cupcakes she had to eat in one sitting to sate her hunger.
What made her realize just how much she grew was when she found out that only one outfit fit her anymore. Even then, it had been an obvious struggle. Her largest pair of shorts clung to her rear like they had been painted on as they squeezed the bubble butt relentlessly. Her largest shirt was reduced to a sports bra for her inflated bust. Such efforts led her to really looking at herself.
Redbow hefted her large belly from where it laid on the bathroom countertop before letting it drop, causing a jiggle to ripple through her body. A pink blush adorned her cheeks as she felt it, hyperaware of her body now. After a few moments she sighed. “Looks like I need to buy new clothes…” She said to herself. She grabbed a brush and began making herself as presentable as possible. At least her hair and tail would look good when she went out.
After brushing her teeth she grabbed her shoes and sat in a chair to put them on, wincing as she heard the creaking complaints of it. As she got up her belly grumbled, causing Redbow to look at the kitchen. The red, undeniably obese mare looked at her belly and frowned. “No more junk food for you. I really need to start a diet.” She did grab a muffin on her way out however, wishing she had eaten it before she brushed her teeth.
The walk through town was like any other, though she did get a few looks her way occasionally. Some of disgust and some with...other emotions. She likely didn’t get much attention because her being fat was just a thing everypony knew. Not even her almost indecent covering got much attention. It was just a fact of the town. A part of her, one she crushed down as she walked to the clothing store, enjoyed it.
‘Hey, the jiggling is kinda soothing now that I think about it. Besides, I’m puffy like a marshmallow instead of saggy and flabby!’ The rebellious part of her mind stated. ‘Its also great than I can eat so much...Whats a bit of belly when I also get a bigger butt, larger breasts, and can handle all that food I want to eat?’ It asked as the increasingly conflicted journalist passed by sugarcube corner. “No, fat is bad!” She told herself. “I work for Equestria Today, and I can’t very well do my job if i can barely walk without getting winded!”
This was a lie, of course. Despite how much she gained and her extremely limited flight capabilities, she wasn’t very much phased when it came to running. She often ran around town and her weight did little to slow her down. If anything, she was stronger than before with all the extra weight! Though it was also evidence at how much she ate if she could gain so much while still keeping her body strong.
Eventually the tubby pony got to the store and went inside, looking at the surprising selection of clothes for a mare her size. She got herself plenty of new sets of underwear, as well as jeans and jean shorts. She was even able to get all her favorite shirts and a few dresses in larger sizes! After grabbing some skirts and new socks she was all set and bought her new clothes.
Unfortunately for her, buying a new wardrobe was expensive enough without needing to pay extra with the special size. That put a dent in her funds. “More than enough reason to go on a diet, right?” She hollowly told herself as she stepped into a changing room.
Taking off her old clothes and putting on a new set prom her bags, a large pair of jeans with a big purple shirt, Redbow looked into the mirror. “Well...I suppose I don’t look too bad.” She mumbled to herself. Her giant belly was now covered by the shirt but still apparent, her large, plump breasts looking much better now that there was proper clothes supporting them. Her rear also looked quite a bit better without it being constricted by too tight shorts.
The red, properly dressed mare looked over her reflection for a while before smiling. “I suppose having this little bit of extra weight isn’t too bad if I look this good...and the discounts the Cakes give me for eating there so much helps pay for meals. I think breakfast has waited long enough.” And so, Redbow Rose the obese journalist went off for food, much happier with herself than she was.
