Disadvantages

Albert adds some new metabolism boosters to your routine, but despite all his efforts, the next month had resulted in another 12 pounds gain, putting you at an extra 39 pounds total on his routine. In the mean time, you continue seeing Beth at the shop. finding out her interests (Cooking of course, but also swimming, reading, and surprisingly, video games), while she learns yours. By now she meets you at the door each day as you pass by, welcoming you in and seating you at a table she has set up to support your weight. You to discuss what's going on with each other while you enjoy the donut she obviously has prepared just for you.

"I wouldn't worry so much." she says, after you explain your difficulties trying to lose weight. "I mean... you're healthy," she says, but whispers under her breath with a blush, "and look great." unaware you caught it. "And... well, you shouldn't need to be what everyone else wants, as long as your happy with yourself." She continues.

"Easy for you to say," you respond, "I can barely fit into most places, I have to custom order clothes, and I get... stares." you say.

"So do I," Beth retorts, "Look at me, I'm too short reach anything without a step ladder, unless I want to wear children's cloths I have to tailor everything I wear, and at least people don't treat you like a doll or a pet." She looks a bit angry, which is a look you haven't seen much, but she catches herself, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to dismiss your problems." she corrects herself, "But, I can get passed all my physical issues by just being happy with myself. I'm just saying, I wouldn't want you to be miserable over it."

You consider this, and you have to admit that Beth's size is just as much a handicap as yours. And she doesn't have the intimidation factor of your size to prevent people from voicing it, so maybe you don't have it quite as bad as you originally thought.
