"Oh come on," Irisa groaned, staring at the unchanged number on the scale. Despite her diligence, the digits remained stubbornly fixed at 146 pounds. "How is this possible?"
Her reflection in the mirror looked back, mocking her with its honesty. Her stomach protruded slightly over the waistband of her sweatpants, the fabric straining. She pinched the flesh around her midsection, feeling the squishiness that had never been there before. Her thighs now looked more like marshmallows than the firm muscles she remembered. She sighed heavily, her chest rising and falling. Even her breasts seemed to have lost their perkiness, sagging slightly under the weight of her own discontent.
In frustration, she threw on a baggy t-shirt and headed for her computer. Maybe there was some advice out there that her doctor had overlooked. As she typed in "quick weight loss tips," she couldn't shake the feeling that she was missing something. The search results were a blur of diet fads and workout regimens, none of which seemed to resonate with her.
Her eyes skimmed over the links until one caught her attention: "Effortless Gains in Just Days!" It was bold, with a picture of a model who looked nothing like Irisa. Still, she clicked it out of curiosity. The website that loaded was not what she expected. Instead of healthy recipes and cardio routines, it was filled with images of people indulging in feasts, their bodies ballooning before her very eyes. The text around the images was not about shedding pounds but rather about embracing a different kind of body transformation.
Irisa's cheeks flushed as she realized she had stumbled upon a weight gain community. Her mind raced with confusion and a strange fascination. She had never heard of such a thing before, and here it was, laid out before her in candid photos and spicy stories. People praised the idea of getting bigger, not smaller. It was like stepping into a bizarre, twisted mirror image of her own world.
Her eyes widened as she scrolled through image after image of girls her age, and even younger, smiling proudly as they displayed their plump figures. Some were in the early stages, with just a hint of a belly pooch, while others were significantly larger, their rolls spilling over their clothes like soft, pillowy waves. Each post was met with a flurry of supportive comments and advice on how to gain more weight faster.
Irisa's heart thudded in her chest. The thought of posting her own photos, asking for validation from strangers, was both terrifying and exhilarating. She hovered her cursor over the 'Sign Up' button, her thoughts racing.
"What's the worst that could happen?" she murmured to the empty room. With trembling fingers, she created an account using a pseudonym and uploaded a full-length selfie. She had never been one for taking pictures of herself in such an exposed state in her underwear, but desperation was a powerful motivator.
It wasn't long before someone directly messaged Irisa...
