Frankie and Nancy had met twice that week to exercise and they faithfully struggled through the dreaded tape each time, but afterwards the amount of food they shared more than cancelled out their efforts.
Today, however, Nancy made the excuse of a sore knee and Frankie was all too happy to accept it as legit to get out of exercising. After all, they had both been working so hard, didn't they deserve a break? It was Frankie who had offered to meet them at Greasy Burger.
Greasy Burger was a fast food restaurant known best for its extremely unhealthy food.
When Nancy got there, Frankie already had one of the tables around the huge jungle gym.
“Such a shame we can’t work out today – I’m so sorry that this knee of mine prevents me,” apologized Nancy. “Don’t worry – it’s nice to get a break sometimes,” said Frankie, secretly glad to get out of aerobics for a week. Although both women had indeed been meeting regularly to workout, they had continued to steadily gain weight throughout. Since they snacked together so heavily after their aerobics sessions, they cancelled out all their efforts to lose weight. Bulging out of their outfits, both house moms looked positively porcine as they munched away at some giant triple deck burgers they’d ordered for themselves. Frankie’s big bum bulged far out over the edge of the wooden chair she was sitting on. Nancy continued to add inches to her massive belly, and her heavy tummy reached out far over her lap. Both of them together were a veritable portrait for the obesity epidemic. Guzzling their way through thousands of calories-worth of food, the quartet was quite oblivious to their expanding waist-lines. Frankie and Nancy were both in a state of denial about their seemingly unstoppable weight gain.
Chatting away, Frankie and Nancy wondered what to do with the afternoon. Normally they’d have been happy to get some more snacks and go to their respective homes and spend the day watching TV and lazing around. But Frankie, who felt a little adventurous, suggested something quite unusual. “I know, let’s go to the park! There’s a nice walk to the top of the hill overlooking the town – it’d be a great thing to do on such a nice day!” Nancy wasn’t so sure about the walk. “Sounds like a plan, Frankie, let’s get some desserts here and then drive on. A gentle walk is just the kind of exercise that will help us slim down!” said Nancy as she ordered a triple chocolate fudge cake with whipped cream and hot chocolate sauce.
