Waist of Time
*At Berry Cutie's house...*
"How is it every time I eat I feel full but never put on weight? This is a disaster! What am I doing wrong?" cried Berry Cutie.
"Berry, dear, is there something you want to talk about?" asked Mrs. Fruit.
"I can't put on weight, mom," replied Berry Cutie in tears.
"Honey, of course you can. You just need the right foods in the right portions," assured Mrs. Fruit.
"Mom, I've tried eating each day and there's no change," complained Berry Cutie.
"Let's take a look at what and how much you eat," requested Mrs. Fruit as Berry Cutie calmed down.
"Well. I generally have a small plate of fatty foods. It's all I think I can eat," explained Berry Cutie.
"That may be where your problem is. You seem to actually have two problems, a limit on how much you can handle and what you're eating. What I think you need is less food but with more calories. Right now, you have a small potbelly. What exactly is your weight goal?" noted Mrs. Fruit.
"I'd love to be 150 or so. It just seems like the right weight to be fat," admitted Berry Cutie.
"Then let's see what we have to work with in the kitchen. We can start with small things and work our way up," continued Mrs. Fruit before she and Berry Cutie entered the kitchen.
"It's not much," frowned Berry Cutie.
"True but I think we can add more to it to make it seem bigger but not by much. Plus it will add to your calorie intake. It's almost dinner time. Just sit at the table and I'll have your new dinner ready," stated Mrs. Fruit. *Berry Cutie sat at the table.* *An hour later...*
"Is it ready yet?" asked Berry Cutie.
"Almost. I think you'll love this one. You should pack on pounds in no time after tonight," answered Mrs. Fruit before finishing up.
"I can't wait," said Berry Cutie excitedly before her dinner arrived.
"Let me know how it is," requested Mrs. Fruit as Berry Cutie began eating.
"This is pretty good. What is it exactly?" analyzed Berry Cutie.
"It's a sandwich filled with lots of meat, cheese and other fattening things. I made more than one if you're still hungry," replied Mrs. Fruit. *An hour later...*
"More, please," requested Berry Cutie.
"Well someone seems to have expanded their belly," remarked Mrs. Fruit before getting the 2nd sandwich out and placing it on Berry Cutie's plate. *Berry Cutie started eating again.*
"You were right, mom. I just needed to eat more, or at least use more fattening ingredients," agreed Berry Cutie between bites.
"Soon we'll see what this new diet does to your body," added Mrs. Fruit. *A week later...*
"I don't think it worked very well after all. I don't see much change," realized Berry Cutie.
"Not much but look. Your belly is definitely bigger than before. Keep eating like this and you'll be your ideal weight in no time," assured Mrs. Fruit. *Berry Cutie smiled.*
