Husky Hefty

In this fanfic, Hefty Smurf is looking forward for the annual Sportiest Smurf contest and wants to win the first place medal, but when he thinks that he's gaining weight, Hefty spends most of his time training for the contest and spending less time eating, only to spend even more time not eating at all. What consequence will happen from Hefty's eating disorder? Will he be able to win the first place medal for the Sportiest Smurf? Would he end up learning what happens when he doesn't eat the hard way? Read this story and find out. I don't own the Smurfs, those little blue cuties belong to the creator named Peyo. Please be warned though, this story contains the most serious subject, bulimia nervosa, which is a serious eating disorder. Those who are sensitive to this topic shouldn't read this.

It was a sunny day in the Smurf village. All the Smurfs were doing their usual routines. Papa Smurf was finding new formula recipes in case the evil wizard Gargamel causes trouble against them, Brainy was reading a whole encyclopedia set because he finds all the facts more exciting than any fiction book, Grouchy was being grouchy, Vanity falling in love with his reflection, Clumsy was tripping over his feet, Smurfette was playing with Baby Smurf, and so on and so forth. Then there was Hefty Smurf, he loved to give himself a hard workout from lifting weights, to running from one end of the Smurf Village to the other end. Hefty just loves to work up a sweat from the top of his cap, to the heart tattoo on his right shoulder, all the way to his tail end. Hefty was really excited because in a few weeks, Smurf Village is going to have the annual Sportiest Smurf contest, and whichever Smurf wins first place gets to be rewarded with the first place medal presented by athlete legend, Sporty Smurf. When Hefty heard about Sporty being the medal-presenter, he thought to himself, "Wow, now that is an honor, Sporty has got to be the coolest smurfiest athlete there is, after all I'm his biggest fan."

After his daily workout, Hefty was preparing himself a Smurfberry sandwich, and sat in his favorite chair about to watch one of his favorite stories, "The Young and the Smurfless" (Parody of "The Young and the Restless"). Hefty was starting to eat his sandwich when a infomercial came on. There was a pretty blonde curly-haired female Smurf, not as pretty as Smurfette though (by the way, Hefty and Smurfette are dating right now). Then the female Smurf on TV said, "Hello fellow Smurfs out there, my name is Skinny, and I'm here to tell you about a new life-changing product that works Smury wonders for me, but first let me ask you, how do you look in the mirror right now? Are you eating a little more without realizing it? Are you packing a few more pounds than the usual amount per Smurf? If you're a girl, do you look more boxy-shaped than hour-glass shaped? If you're a boy, are you starting to look more husky even though you're already hefty? The last question caused Hefty to chuckle a little, "Husky, good one," Hefty added, but then he did gave that part a thought, then he said, "Hmm, well I did already took five bites of sandwich." Starting to feel a little concerned about his body weight after all those questions, Hefty did looked down at his blue tummy. He actually looks fine and healthy, but then he asked himself, "Am I starting to gain weight?"

Starting to fear about his weight, Hefty then waits for Skinny to introduce her new life-changing solution. Then Skinny continued, "Then have no fear all you Smurfs out there. All you need is the new fat-be-gone diet kit, which has everything you need, meal shakes, meal bars, trimming belt to see how much progress you make losing weight, and a workout chart to track down on how many pounds you lose everyday. All of this for only $9.98 plus tax available at stores near you. Love the progress you make on yourself or your money back." Then the infomercial ended and the TV announcer said, "And now back to "The Young and the Smurfless"," but Hefty turned the TV off. "I have to get that kit in order to look my Smurfiest trimmist best, I wouldn't want to change my name from Hefty to Husky," said Hefty. So Hefty went to the store to buy himself the new fat-be-gone diet kit, thinking to himself, "$9.98 plus tax is pricey, but it'll be worth it, and I don't even care if I get my cash back or not if I don't like it." But that's what he thinks though, Hefty doesn't realize that he's starting to develop an unhealthy eating disorder unfortunately.

So Hefty got himself the kit and started using it. On the first day, he got some good results, but in a not so good way since he's barely eating. "Alright, I just lost my first 10 pounds," said a pleased but unawared Hefty Smurf. So during the few weeks before the Sportiest Smurf contest, Hefty was tracking down how much weight he's losing, but spend s time eating less, almost to not eating at all, except for the supply of fat-be-gone shakes and bars. In fact, one night, Hefty went on a date with Smurfette for dinner at an Italian restaurant called "La Café Ala Smurf. "May I take your orders madam and mister?" asked a Smurf waiter named Smurfeir. Smurfette told the waiter, "I'll have the pasta prima Smurf please." And then Hefty said, "I'll have a spaghetti and meatballs bar please." Smurfette and Smurfier looked at him weirdly because a meal doesn't sound very filling or healthy, but Smurfier was polite about the idea, so he said, "Okay sir, and how would you like the bar done?" Then Hefty said, "Al dente please." Then Smurfier said, alrighty, I'll be right back, and he went to get their orders. Concerned for Hefty, Smurfette asked him, "Hefty, are you feeling alright? A spaghetti and meatball bar doesn't sound very filling." Politely, Hefty answered, "Why yes Smurfette, I'm alright, thank you for asking. I'm just trying to keep my Smurfiest best shape before the Sportiest Smurf contest, I hear that competition is gonna be tough this year even for a Hefty Smurf like me. Also dinner's on me, you can even have dessert. "Well, okay. That's awfully sweet of you, thank you Hefty," said Smurfette still concerned for Hefty. "You're welcome Smurfette my dear," said Hefty unaware of Smurfette being concerned for him.

On the night before the Sportiest Smurf contest, Smurfette went to Papa Smurf's house. Smurfette said to him, "Papa Smurf, I'm worried about Hefty, he's been on this diet for a while, and now he's stopped eating altogether now. He thinks that he's overweight, but he's not. Isn't there anything you can do to help him?" then this is what Papa Smurf said, "Well Smurfette, sounds like Hefty has a serious case of bulimia nervosa, a type of eating disorder which makes him think that he's overweight even though he's not, but I m afraid that it would take a long time to cure him; what he needs is some bed rest, rehabilitation, and learning how to eat again without worrying about becoming fat." "Thanks Papa Smurf," said Smurfette. "Anytime Smurfette, " said Papa Smurf. And then Smurfette went back to her house for the night for tomorrow's event.

Morning came and it was time for the annual Sportiest Smurf contest to begin. All of the Smurfs were excited to see who will compete, including Hefty, who looks a little bit tired from the dieting. Then it was time for announcements by Brainy Smurf and a female Smurf with long silver wavy hair and a red dress named RuSmurf (Parody of RuPaul). Then RuSmurf started the announcements saying, "Ladies and gentle Smurfs, and welcome to the annual Sportiest Smurf contest, where we get to see Smurfs competing against eachother in different sports, and to see which Smurf will take the first place medal home this year. And now we go to you Brainy." "Then Brainy said, "Thank you RuSmurf. Now before we start the games. Let's introduce the competing Smurfs, all the way from New Smurf City we have McTuff (Five year first place champion of the Sportiest Smurf contest, very good at sports, but can be quite rude), all the way from Smurfexcico we have Flexcita (A tomboyish Smurf girl who specializes in gymnastics), all the way from Smurfmany we have The Smurfinator (Parody of Arnald Schwarzenegger), and right here from Smurf Village Hefty Smurf. A lot of Hefty's friends cheered for him, especially five of them, Clumsy, Lazy, Farmer, Tailor, and Jokey, having one letter each from Hefty's name painted on their chests. All that Hefty could do is wave and smile at his friends weakly due to not eating for a while.

Before the games start, Hefty being a good sport comes up to his fellow competitors telling them, "Good luck McTuff, Flexita, Smurfinator. Course Hefty did got different responds when rude McTuff said, "Hmph, luck is for losers!," Flexcita being more polite said, "Good luck to you too senior Fuerte," and the Smurfinator being cool said, "The Smurfinator wishes you luck too cool tattoo guy." Of course Hefty thought that McTuff could have been more nicer, but he did appreciate what Flexcita and the Smurfinator have said. Still, Hefry looks like he needs a good filling meal.

Then it was time for the first game which was the obstacle course. "Ready, set, GO!" said RuSmurf, and off the competing Smurfs went. Flexita made it first, Hefty second, and McTuff third. Unfortunately the Smurfinator was out of the contest for being last. Then RuSmurf told Brainy, "I guess obstacles aren't the Smurfinator'a strong suit, are they?" and Brainy said, "No I guess not." "YOU'RE DOING GREAT HEFTY!" shouted Hefty's friends, all that Hefty could do though is smile weakly. Next it was time for the weight throw to see which weight goes the farthest. "Ready, set, THROW!" said RuSmurf. Hefty threw his weight the furthest, and McTuff was in the middle. Unfortunately Flexcita didn't even made an inch on her weight, so she's out. "Weights can be pretty heavy for some Smurfs, right RuSmurf?" asked Brainy. Then RuSmurf answered, "Heavy, why Brainy darling, my honesty on weights, they can be a real drag!" (Usuing RuPaul's line respectfully) "Tell me about it" added Vanity Smurf. "YAY HEFTY!" shouted all of Hefty's friends, but still Hefty can only smile weakly. And now it was time for the final game, the long run. "Ready, set, RUN!" Said RuSmurf. Hefty was able to reach the finish line first even though he's feeling a little tired, and McTuff was the runner-up. "And Hefty wins first place in this year's Sportiest Smurf contest!" said RuSmurf. "Looks like Hefty gets to take home the gold medal," added Brainy. "YAY HEFTY! YOU DID IT!" shouted Hefty's friends, even Grouchy was excited for Hefty winning when he shouted, "YAY HEFTY! And to think I don't even like these kind of contests, then again I don't like any contest at all." However Greedy actually missed all the contest when he sat next to Grouchy with a whole box of snacks asking Grouchy, "What did I missed?"But with all the cheering for him, still Hefty can only smile weakly from not eating.

Now the moment that all the Smurfs been waiting for, legendary sports champ Sporty Smurf rewards the different medals. "Congratulations Hefty for winning this year's gold medal" said a proud Sporty Smurf to a happy but tired Hefty. "Thank you Sporty" said Hefty in a exhausted tone. McTuff now having his gold medal streak end when he got the second place silver medal got so angry became a sore spot saying, "HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR! I HATE BEING A RUNNER-UP! YOU WON'T HEAR THE END FROM ME!" Flexcita getting the third place bronze medal said, "Not bad for me being a Smurf who mostly knows about gymnastics." And last but not least, the Smurfinator got the fourth place white medal and he said, "I am pleased with this accomplishment, I'll be back same time next year." So the Smurfinator and Flexita congratulated Hefty for winning the gold medal. "Thanks guys," said a pleased but tired Hefty. McTuff was still not happy with second place, and even though Hefty told him, "Good game McTuff," McTuff being a sore loser grumbled to himself, "I hate sore good sports!"

Back home at the Smurf village, everyone was congratulating Hefty for winning first place. Hefty was thanking all of his friends, but suddenly he ended up not feeling well, he was feeling lightheaded, he was sweating up a storm, his blue skin was turning into a lighter blue, and his tummy was starting to hurt, which caused him to faint right on his back. All of the Smurfs gasped in horror. "HEFTY! WE GOTTA HELP HIM!" cried Smurfette. All the Smurfs helped Hefty out by taking him to Papa Smurfs house for some Smurfberry broth and some saltine crackers and some electrolytes, and Hefty ate without worrying about his weight for once. Soon Hefty felt better, no longer feeling sick. Everyone was relieved to see Hefty feeling much better, but Papa Smurf was still concerned with Hefty when he told him, "Hefty Smurf, this is what happens when you don't eat, your body starts to lose all those important nutrients, and it can weaken up your muscles."

Hefty then started to realize that he was hurting himself when he said, "I'm sorry Papa Smurf, I'm sorry every. I thought that I was overweight so I got the fat-be-gone diet kit. I thought I was able to keep myself from becoming Husky by eating less and less, and then switching to bars and shakes, not realizing that I was ending up not eating at all. I really did thought I was fat, only to now realize that my weight was fine, but I ended up hurting myself anyways. I'm really sorry that I stopped eating because I was being silly" as he ended up in tears. But Smurfette came up to Hefty and place a hand on his shoulder telling him, "Please don't cry Hefty, you weren't being silly at all, you just got in a panic thinking that you were gaining weight." Then Papa Smurf said, "Smurfette is right Hefty, Bulimia can cause panic, so you weren't being silly, but we will help you learn how to enjoy food again." Feeling relieved, Hefty did smiled and said, "Thank you guys. I promise I'll never let Bulimia stop me from eating again." "I'm glad to hear that Hefty," added Smurfette, as she and Hefty shared a hug. "Awwwwwww," said all the Smurfs, even Grouchy, thinking that Hefty and Smurfette look adorable hugging.

So the next few days, Hefty was learning how to enjoy food once again. He still loves to give himself a hard workout, but from now on he knew better than to let an infomercial make him think that he needs to stop eating, so he returned the fat-be-gone diet kit and got his refund, and this time he cared about getting his money back so that he can treat Smurfette for dinner again. And so Hefty and Smurfette once again went to La Café ala Smurf. And while reading the menu, for once Hefty thought to himself without any concern about his weight, "It sure has been a while since I had a good pizza, chili cheese fries, and a chocolate fudge Smurfberry malted." Smurfette didn't catch Hefty's thought, she smiled and was glad to see that Hefty is never going to let Bulimia stop him from eating again. "Well done Hefty, well done," Smurfette thought.

The end.
