The Sculpting of Kate 7 by Woodsmont

7. Epiphany

‘Guess who’s back, back again, belly’s back, tell a friend,’ hummed Kate, sounding cheerier than she felt. She was standing in the bathroom, ready to shower, and scrutinized her body. The weeks of study, eating and meager workouts manifested itself most apparently on her belly. Kate gave it a jiggle. There was so denying that it was even bigger than before. Then it had been only a small part of her belly that puffed out a bit. Now, when standing, there was a convex line. Kate officially lost her flat belly. Again. Deep down a part of Kate rued to hours or abdominal exercises which had to flatten that tummy again. Suzy had admitted last night that she liked the sight and the touch of her softer belly. Kate found herself with a lot less willpower to battle her tummy bulge that she had the first time.

Kate looked at the rest of her body. Her large boobs rested proudly on her chest. Kate's shoulders had to support a EE-cup now. She massaged her breasts like Suzy sometimes did. Imagining that it indeed was Suzy was enough for Kate to get aroused. She gave her nipples a last pinch and concluded that she quite liked having big boobs.

Turning sideways Kate let her eyes wander from her boobs to her butt. It was bigger, a bit softer, but still round. Suzy had called her butt a 'ghetto booty' and Kate had to acknowledge that her behind stuck out like a shelf. Luckily, her wider hips managed to balance out her butt. Kate trailed her hip line with her fingers. Then she went up over her butt cheeks, giving them a firm squeeze.

She also squeezed her love handles. The rested a top her hips and when wearing something they circled all the way to the nape of her back. Combined with her belly some tight jeans gave her a muffin top.

Her thighs were looking larger as well. They jiggled when she ran, just like her butt, but still had a nice firmness to them. Right now her thighs pressed against each other for an inch or so.

Kate flexed her arms. Her biceps bulged out, but not that much as it used to. Her arms too had acquired some softness.

Suzy told her she looked hot. And to her surprise, Kate thought the same. In fact, she rather liked how her tummy had a convex line now and the softness of it made a part of her body. And it wasn't big at all. Her boobs were big and her butt too.

Kate laughed when an epiphany hit her. She had nothing to complain about!

After her shower she searched Suzy's place for a scale. It was hidden away in the bedroom of Suzy's parents. Stepping on the scale and seeing the numbers would be the first and strongest test of her new outlook, decided Kate. Not wanting to create more drama she quickly stepped on the scale.

It took two seconds for the numbers to appear and meanwhile Kate thought about her previous weigh in. Then she had weighed 148 lbs. She knew she had lost a bit since then, but also put it back on. She surely thought she'd weight in the 150's now. The numbers appeared.

159.

Kate's resolve wavered for few seconds. She was almost 160... But then took a deep breath and remembered her reflection, the sight of her body.

Her weight was only a number. Kate chuckled. Only a number. It was the way she looked that was important.

Suzy was making pancakes, anticipating the arrival of Kate. When her girlfriend entered the room Suzy immediately saw something different.

First of all, Kate had a smile that lit up the room. Her eyes shone and even her hair seemed to glow. If she didn't knew better she would have guessed Kate experienced the pregnancy glow.

Secondly, Kate was dressed like she hadn't done in weeks. She wore one of her khakis. It spanned tight around her butt, hips and thighs. As a top Kate wore a equally snug t-shirt. Lately, to hide her budding belly and love handles, Kate had put on loose tops, so seeing her dressed like this was a surprise. The tight shirt did absolutely nothing to hide the fact that Kate's belly was sticking out a bit and that her love handles slightly bulged over.

So why was Kate's smiling like a fool?

‘Why are you grinning like the Cheshire’s Cat?’ asked Suzy, adding a third pancake on Kate's plate.

‘I stood in the bathroom naked,'

‘I like how this begins. Go on,’ interrupted Suzy.

‘And then I saw myself through your eyes,’ Kate said, still smiling.

‘And you saw a smoking hot lady?’ mocked Suzy, not sensing Kate was actually serious.

‘Yes! It felt so good. Like a heavy burden has been lifted.’

‘You’re serious?’ said Suzy surprised.

‘I thought you would ignore that little belly of yours and the rest of your added weight for the time being. Like it was a something you had to endure for a time’

‘You’re completely right. But this morning I had an epiphany. I’m thinking it’s your positive vibe,’ replied Kate.

Suzy tried something.

‘Does this mean you won’t lose the weight?’

Kate laughed.

‘It means I don’t really care anymore. I still want to go back to my regular gym routine and my runs. I will tell you my base realization.’

‘Base realization?’

‘Yeah. I began going to the gym and using a weight gain shake to do what?’ Kate waited for Suzy to answer.

‘To lose your beanpole body,’ answered Suzy.

‘Yes. To get curvy!

Kate stood up and spun around. She almost hopped and her breasts bounced happily up and down.

‘Well, what am I?’

Now Suzy laughed.

‘You’re curvy.’

‘Indeed. Now, let’s have some pancakes. Can you pass me the syrup? And do you have leftovers from those donuts?’

Breakfast turned into a fully fledged food orgy. Kate was in level of arousal ever sinced massaging her boobs and Suzy was so turned on by Kate's revelation that they both could resist themselves. Kate's tongue tasted pancake after pancake, each with lots of syrup. The pancakes were followed by donuts and the setting changed from the kitchen to the bedroom.

It all ended with a lot of panting and a bed full of powdered sugar. Kate's belly was stuffed to the brim, sticking as high in the air as physically possible.

'Thank God, we don't have to go to school,' moaned Kate.

That caused Suzy to have a laughing fit. She imagined Kate walking around looking pregnant.

'Why are laughing,' asked Kate.

'Nothing. Do you want a belly rub?' asked Suzy, changing the subject.

'Yes, please.'

Suzy swung a leg over Kate and started rubbing.

Kate watched dazed at Suzy's handiwork. Her belly was so full that there wasn't even a hint of softness anymore. Suzy's belly however. Kate noticed how Suzy's pot belly hoovered over her own vagina. Would it feel nice if it did touch her. What if Suzy had a belly that big?

Later, Kate had her second shower of the morning. Before she stepped in, she looked at her belly again, just like the first time. Even with a belly so stuffed as she was now, she still looked good.

*****

Kate new outlook on life energized her. With finals done, school was practically over. She spent a lot of time with Suzy. Where there was Suzy there was food.

Kate ate dinners bigger than ever, breakfasts that lasted an hour and snacks than were meals on their own. Her food orgies with Suzy also became a more frequent activity, not only confined to evenings.

She went to the gym again, but found the time spent with Suzy so addictive that she cut back on her own workout hour, meaning she only went to the gym with Tasha and Estelle. That said, Kate did try to make that hour as challenging as ever, especially when her back pain was gone. To Kate it was as if everything was back to how it was originally. She ate what she wanted, whenever she wanted and she enjoyed her time in the gym. She was right for the most past, but she overlooked one aspect. She ate much more than she used to, and she still used the new weight gain shake. And there was more. During her back injury she still went for her runs, making the distance shorter and her speed slower. Even when her back was fine again she kept to her new slower and shorter run.

But Kate’s mind was free of the burden called weight gain. She had equated gaining weight with getting curvier. And wasn’t that what she’d wanted all along?
