Note in this chapter it will have an estimated of Pony's weight, I don't know how tall he really is. The book says he's small and hasn't hit puberty so I'll go with 5'1 and looked up weight charts for that height. Which was from 110- 130


It was a normal Monday. Mom came in woke me up told me to get ready for school. I was tempted to fall back asleep, but Dad poked his head in saying I'd be in trouble if I went back to bed. So reluctantly I slid out of bed and made my way to the closet.

I was a bit sore. Ana said it would be a good Idea to do a few sit ups during the day, and like I promised I listened to her. I was real good yesterday, she told me. I didn't eat lunch or dinner. And for breakfast I mostly picked at my food rather than ate it.

It made me grin when I looked in the mirror that night and she said I was already getting thinner.

Grabbing the new clothes I had just got (I wanted to save them for school) I walked to the bathroom. Silently I prayed that soda didn't use all the hot water, again. Him or Darry, didn't take up all the water. That would be a bit of a damper on this morning.

Stepping into the bathroom, I turned on the water. Once again stripping my clothes. I sigh in relief taking a liking to the fact the water was warm. So I didn't rush, but went at a pace so I wouldn't be late for school. A bit of shampoo, and body wash later I stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around my waist.

I walked up to the sink were I had placed my clothes. I began to slip into my boxers. I don't know what it was, but something, made me look in the mirror. Glancing into the mirror, I saw it. In the bathroom corner in its white perfection.

A scale.

Slowly I turned around. Go to it Pony, go. I listened to Ana and made my way over to the scale. I looked down at it. I wondered if I should step on it. I kinda didn't want to know how much I weighed. A ton, don't worry Pony that's why I'm here. You'll be skinny and perfect with me. This scale it's your new best friend too. Together we would never lie to you.

I swallowed thickly, I stepped my foot forward. My foot met the solid cold surface. It sent a slight shiver threw me as I continued to get on. Looking down I felt myself pale at such a high number.

What does it say?

128

No, not that honey. It's saying fat. Ponyboy Michael Curtis you sir are a fat blob. Clearly you really need me, if I hadn't shown up you would be the fattest person alive. Say tell you what, don't eat at all today.

I paused, not eat all day? Then wouldn't I be hungry all day?

Hey darling, who ever said dieting was easy? I know I sure didn't. This morning tell your folks you're going to meet a friend early to work on a project, and eat at school. For lunch you'll be at school no trouble there, if anyone ask say you're not hungry. Dinner say you're going to a friends for dinner, and then go on a run. You've got to exercise too ya know.

But when I get really hungry, doesn't it start to hurt at some point?

Punch your stomach it helps.

A sudden knock on the door broke my conversation. "Hurry up Pony! Breakfast is done." It was Soda, I would know that voice anywhere.

My stomach did a flip for food. I was already hungry from not eating much yesterday. Now I'd go the whole day without food. I wasn't too sure about this, but I already promised Ana I would do whatever she said, she was going to help me. If starving for the day would help so be it.

Slipping into my clothes and my other bathroom needs I walked out to the kitchen. Everyone was there, Dad was at the table with his coffee. Darry making a cup of his own, Soda was preparing chocolate milk. Two-bit was scarfing his food down, with Dally and Steve.

I wanted to call Two-bit a hypocrite for eating fast, but Ana said he was thin, I was fat.

Johnny ate quietly, Mom was over the stove making another plate. She looked up as I came in, "Hey sweet heart, you want some breakfast?"

I shook my head, "No, I'm going to meet a friend at school to work on a project, I don't want to be late. I'll eat there."

She frowned, worriedly. "You sure honey? I mean if you ate real quick you could…"

"No I'm sure."

She frowned a bit. A part of me said to just eat a little bit so my mother wouldn't be upset. But a larger part (Ana) said to not give in. They were trying to break me. I listened to that larger part. I gave my mother a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. Before I grabbed my bag and headed to the door.

I stopped short remembering dinner. "Hey uh... ma?" I turned to face her, as she came out of the kitchen.

"Yes Pony?"

"So on Friday my friend invited me to his house for dinner today, so is it ok if I go?"

She blinked understanding what I had said then, "Ok be careful ok honey. We'll be here so call us if you need anything." I hid my smirk, she bought it!

"Ok I will no worries." I turned towards the door calling out a good bye to the guys.

Don't worry Pony, trust me soon you'll be thin and perfect.

Hearing Ana say that made my heart race with this sudden thrill. I didn't know how to explain it. I was just so…so…happy! And exited, I would be thin. I wouldn't be a fat blob anymore.

I mean you can't blame me. If you look at my brothers, I feel real lousy them looking so hansom and I'm this ugly blob. They must be embarrassed to hang out with me.

That could be why Steve hates when I tag along. He must know Soda feels bad for me or something. That thought didn't settle with me so well. I would hate if I was just a drag and Soda had to put up with me. Due to this I made a note to not go out with any of the gang till I looked better. Ana told me the same thing.

Still there was a small part of me that said this was a really bad idea, back out before it's too late.

I told myself that was the fat and ugly side. It would be gone in no time at all.


As my first day at school I think I did well. I skipped lunch like Ana told me to. I had to punch my stomach once in between classes cause my stomach was growling so loud other people could hear it.

Ana told me punching your stomach was like training wheels. It's only there to keep me balanced. One day I'll be completely numb to hunger. So numb that I won't even know I have it! There was this sick twisted part inside me that couldn't wait for that day to come.

Right now I was walking to the park. They had a running track. I stood at the start of the track wondering how many laps I should run.

All the laps you can get in till it's time to go.

Yeah Ana was right! I shouldn't limit myself to a certain number. I should do all that I can. So I did, I ran as many laps as I could. I lost track of how many I did. I ran for so long my legs felt numb. My stomach was still growling loud in my ears. I'm sure other people could hear it too. I was too tired to punch my stomach.

I dragged my feet inside my house. I felt like I could collapse any moment. I felt kinda light headed and a bit dizzy. I was awfully tired too. My whole body was aching for food. It took a lot of will power not to go to the kitchen and eat everything.

Mom looked at me, and frowned. "You alright Honey? You look exhausted."

"Yeah, uh we…uh… I ran home." A look of worry crossed her face. I decided that wasn't the best thing to say I guess. It's just golly I'm so tired I can't think strait. "I noticed how late it was getting and I didn't want to worry you," I said lamely.

I guess she bought or decided to let it slide cause she said, "Alright why don't you go to bed. It is late and you have school."

I nodded and without another word I was in my room changing into P.j's. Flopping down on the bed I sigh. I wanted to curl up and die. I felt awful. You're so weak, Ana sneered. So you didn't eat all day or much yesterday! The others could do it and be perfectly fine. This just proves your nothing but a fat ugly blob.

I winced at the tone Ana was using, but I knew she had a point. Everyone could go through this day no sweat. Not even thinking twice. Ana was right, I'm just being a fat ugly blob. I'll change that, I told myself. Like Ana said one day the hunger will just be a numb feeling.

One day…


This chapter was really short and ugly. I don't like it. Sorry it's so short. I just wanted this to be kinda and example of what Pony's life is going to be like the next few months or so. More like what's going on in his head.

Again I made Ponyboy to girly ugh! *bangs head on key board *

Review and tell me how ugly this chapter is…. Oh yeah if ya'll have any Ideas, for this story that you think would make it better you can leave it in a review or PM I don't care.

Well till next time Tata (^_^)v
