“Two-hundred and sixty-seven pounds.” The words escaped from Rainbow’s lips as she stared down at the scale.
 
She knew very well that she had been getting fatter since the last time she weighed herself (about two months ago if she had to guess), and yet she was always reluctant to actually see it for herself.
 
Constant snacking, shorter runs, little soccer practice… She even outgrew her uniform (which, in her defense, was already a really tight fit). Then there’s the Halloween treats, eating out with friends, extra carbo-loading for less exercise, and of course Thanksgiving. Despite her breath-taking speed, her severe lack of stamina was leaving her winded.
 
“Yeah… I should’ve seen this coming,” she muttered to herself as she gave her round belly a firm smack, sending a slight jiggle across the rest of her bulging body. That felt… weird.
