She looked at her sister’s body with envy and said with a smile, “I’ll be sure to manage my weight from now on and maintain a model-like figure like yours. I refuse to let myself eat until I become a two-hundred-pound person.”
What she didn’t realize was that she had already become exactly that.
Logically, she should have felt upset and lost her appetite. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law constantly nagged her, and her relationship with her husband had soured. Despite all this, she continued to eat and sleep well.
Fortunately, she began to control her eating habits and became more active. As a result, her weight began to drop.
Liberty aimed to stop losing weight once she reached one hundred pounds. She didn’t want to be too thin, as that would make her appear older. At over thirty, she believed a middle-aged person should have a bit of extra weight as a sign of contentment.
“I kickbox regularly, which burns a lot of calories. That’s why I don’t gain weight easily,” she explained.
Serenity added, “However, I’ve gained a few pounds too. Zachary has been feeding me well, so I need to hit the gym every day to exercise as well.”
“That’s just happy weight,” Liberty remarked, pleased that Serenity and her husband had a strong relationship.
Having experienced a failed marriage, she hoped her sister could enjoy a better life.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
“Mom, Aunt Ser, I’ll get the door!” Sonny exclaimed, sliding down from his chair and running to open it.
Serenity followed her nephew closely.
Sonny approached the door and stood on tiptoes, but despite several attempts, he still couldn’t reach the doorknob. He turned to Serenity with bright eyes.
With a smile, Serenity lifted him so he could reach the doorknob and open the door.
When the door swung open, Zachary stood there. “Uncle Zak!” Sonny exclaimed.
