Brittany's Belly - Part 14

Britt hated mornings, the bright sun, the having to get out of bed, all of it was just terrible. Sleep was so much better. But rise and shine was a requirement of living, so Britt was forced into it, even though she had little to look forward to today, starting with her sad breakfast. She ate her dry toast and grapefruit, even though part of her didn't even want to. After that it was time to start her mom's workout. As she got her workout gear on, she snuck over into her sister's room and grabbed a can of soda, chugging it quickly so as to not raise suspicion with her mom. *Urp!* She burped softly, trying to not let her mom hear.

Britt bounced back down stairs, her round belly bouncing as she went, full of carbonated bubbles that made her feel more full than any toast of grapefruit could ever do. Not that she was eager to do her workout, only eager to get it over with, she announced to her mom that she was ready. "All set mom." She said, not sure where her evil mother has gone.

Upon being summoned, Diane appeared quickly, unable to help herself from eyeing her daughter up and down. She wasn't sure how someone could be so disproportionately belly heavy. Her multi dozen gain seems to have mostly gone straight there, which made covering it under any clothing a logistical nightmare. Britt was at this point barely a size medium, but her belly probably needed a XL. With the summer heat, there was no way Britt was going to deal with all that extra heavy fabric. This was all to say, Britt's big belly was always sticking out, especially now in her taut workout gear.

"Lord, I can't wait until this is gone." Diane gawked at her daughter's stomach, going so far to poke a finger into the round dome.

*Urp!* Diane has been relaxed, prepared to put her daughter through her workout, this sound though made her straighten right up, whipping her head back towards her daughters with lightning speed, getting closer to her face than she had been since she was a child. Britt too was made a bit more alert by the sound that had escaped her. If there was one thing her mom hated, well besides a rotund appearance, it was belching.

“What was that I just heard?!?” Diane raised her voice, almost shrieking.

Britt tried to play it off. “Oh nothing.” It was time to workout, no need to linger on that burp. Britt was not so lucky.

“I know what I heard young lady.” Diane reiterated.

“I think it's just been all the acidic grapefruit, it's been messing with my stomach. I think I need some more carbs or something in the morning. Maybe like some cereal or a bagel with cream cheese?”

“Don’t start with me Brittany, it’s not my fault you’re on this diet. There will be no substitutions.” Knowing this argument with her daughter was going nowhere, Diane decided to turn her attention back to the workout. “Alright, I want to see 20 more sit ups than last time, and 5 more push ups.” Britt reluctantly hit the floor and got started. She could only accomplish 4 more sit ups and only 1 additional push up. Diane was displeased, but at least it was progress. “Ok and lets shave some time off that run today.” Diane continued to try and pep Britt up.

Britt did not want any pep though, she wanted this nightmare to end. She jogged away from the house as quickly as she could, mostly just to get away from her mom. As soon as she could no longer be seen from the house, he pace slowed dramatically. She was already starting to feel the sweat coming from the hot sun, and she knew she was in for a tortuous hour and fifteen minutes. Britt tried to find a nice pace between a jog and a slow crawl, something that would allow her to finish the loop in the same time as before, but not be as strenuous as jogging for most of it. Britt figured as long as she finished with a similar time her mom would be appeased. All Britt really wanted was her mom off her back, she didn’t really care at all about physical fitness. Yeah she had gained like 35 pounds at school, but with her diet she’d lose the weight with plenty of time left before fall. Britt just needed to keep her mom relatively happy, enough to keep her off her back.

One thing Britt was happy about though was her stomach wasn’t crying out in pain. That pre-workout soda had done its job of making her feel pretty full. Trying to run on a breakfast of grapefruit and toast, not only had Britt needing to deal with the scorching sun, but the rumbling of her tum. With her mind elsewhere, Britt soon found herself turning the corner onto the street with her house on it. Britt had to make her effort look believable, and although she tried to avoid sweat as best she could, she picked up the pace in the last stretch to give some indication she had been jogging this whole time. Of course her mother was waiting for her once again.

“76 minutes, that's worse than last time.” Diane scowled.

*Huff* “Barely.” Britt really leaned on the heavy breathing, but it wasn’t all fake, jogging really took it out of her. “And it’s way hotter today. I think I did way better this time.” Britt’s mom didn’t seem pleased, so before she could get verbally assaulted Britt took her leave. “Alright I need a shower immediately to get all this sweat off of me, ew!” Britt bounced off to her room, Diane left grateful that at least she was getting her daughter out there for a run. Life would be back to normal before long.

Britt did want to take a shower, but she was also feeling a bit peckish. Before she hit the showers, she popped into her sister's room for a little post-workout top off. She chugged a can of soda in seconds flat, leaving the evidence in there before she left. It would only be a couple hours until her sister was home, only to find the empty cans and to know her growing sister and polished off four cans of soda in less than a day. Britt didn’t give it a second thought, and just stripped down and took a shower, cooling her body after all that time under the harsh sun.
