Heavyweight Romance?

 

Staring at the scale. Will the number ever go down? Working on losing weight is such a struggle sometimes I just want to throw my hands up in the air and scream. So I signed up, for the gym. People say that it would help, but I don't think it will. I sigh and get a gym bag together: change of clothes, water bottle, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, and some slides. I don't have my car so I will have to just take the bus. Across the city. 


I get off the bus and I just dread my decision. I sigh and I walk in. I got this. Just do cardio... for 1 hour and then I can leave... I say to myself to give myself the courage to even want to step foot in the gym.  I see a guy.. who seems to be chubby, but not as big as me. I decide maybe if I work out in the area he is maybe I won't feel judged that much. So I get on the treadmill and I begin to walk. "Are you new here?" He asks. 

"Yes I am. Just looking to get healthier you know?" He nods back and he introduces himself as Jim. "Hi Jim, I am Kelly" I smile and I shake his hand before continuing on the treadmill. 

"If you are looking for a great cardio - go 1mph higher than your walk. It is more of a speed walk - less of a run."

The next day I go back to the gym and I see that he is not there. Maybe he does not go on Tuesdays. I decide that today might be good for weight training. So I walk in and talk to the person at the counter. "Hey good morning, would anyone be willing to show me how to operate the weight machines?" The person nods and tells me to wait at a table by the area and someone will be there shortly. 


After a 15 minute wait, "Good morning, I hear you want to learn about the weights." I turn around and sure enough Jim is the person who is going to be training me today. "Hi, I guess we are going to officially introduce ourselves. My name is Jim. I will be your trainer this morning." 

I giggle and I said, "Nice to meet you Jim, I am Kelly and you are going to show me how to lift some weights."

After a day of working out he tells me his shift is over and that he would like to take me to dinner. I told him that I would like to pay since he showed me a skill. He nodded and said "Fine. Please follow me." I went to my car and he went to the car in front of mine. Coincidence? This is such a small world. 

As I am sitting across from Jim, I notice that we both have big appetites.

Secret Mall Love - Chapter 1

  Chapter 1: Introduction  Have you ever felt like you run into the love of your life multiple times... in the most mundane way possible? Well I feel like mine keeps finding me at the mall. I go to the mall three times a month and I see a gentleman the same amount of times. Now some of my friends think I have a stalker but I do not believe that that is the case. Why would he not follow me home then if he were a stalker?  July 1, 2022  I was walking into the Target to get my mall warranted Starbucks. I saw someone familiar. I decided, why not try to chat with him? So I walk towards him and I say, "Hello, you come here often?" He nods his head. He has brown hair and blue eyes and he has a tanned complexion. "My name is Jasmine, I see you here all the time." I extend my shaky hand to shake his hand. He extends his and he shakes it and I felt the slightest bit of a spark.  "So Jasmine, how often do you come here? Seems like we run into each other a lot." I chu...

Secret Mall Love - Chapter 2

  Chapter 2: How the Obsession Begins  April 3, 2022 I saw her again. She always goes to the Target first, not for the Target run but to get her Starbucks and then walk around the mall. I wonder if today she will go counter-clockwise since she alternates her route. I know this may seem creepy but I am too shy to talk to her. She is so pretty. My crush, my obsession is 5 foot 5, looks to be about 250 pounds, big breasts (but not too large and not that I stare), and she has curly brown hair and brown eyes. My crush seems so nice.  Today she has this amazing dress. It is blue and has some green striping on it, diagonal stripes and she is wearing her usual white cross body bag. I have never seen her use another purse. Maybe she just loves routine and never changes them out. Either way, I am going to work up the nerve to talk to her.  April 10, 2022 I am sitting in the Starbucks and I notice that she is not here. She is usually here at this time. Is there something wrong?...

Shooting Star

Image
  Has anyone ever gotten a wish granted from a shooting star? That thought entered Elaine's mind when she was sitting on her balcony on a rainy night in July. She started to draw in her notebook and started to write down her wishes and dreams. I wish there would be a time where I can just relax. She shook her head and laughed. She knew she was not the person to typically just sit down and do nothing. Is that original to any other thought that others have? Like the ability to lose weight but still eat those cupcakes.  The rain had cleared and she looked up. There it was, a shooting star. WOAH!  She never thought she would see one after a storm. So she whispered her wish. To have a day of relaxation. She then went inside and closed the screen door, glass door, and her blinds. Went to her room and laid down on her bed. Scrolling through TikTok. She was laughing at the all the dances. If I could only dance like that. If I had a body like that.  THE NEXT MORNING  BUZ...
