The couple of days of diet-free and stress-free relaxation hadn't really turned out how Kate had originally planned. The snowstorm that was moving into Milwaukee on her arrival had turned into a blizzard. She had ended up stranded at the hotel for over a week. The conference had been canceled before it even started, and with nothing but time and free room service on her hands she had managed to try almost every dish on the menu. They did not, in fact, serve salads. Kate wasn't even aware of how much she had been stuffing into her face until the airport reopened and she finally had to squeeze herself into something other than underwear.

She had selected a pair of loose Khaki shorts and a light blue sports bra for the flight back to warmer climates. It had taken her almost 45 minutes to even fit into the shorts, and once she had them buttoned her stomach overflowed from all sides. Kate would have changed, but she was already running behind and staying (and eating) any longer would have ensured that nothing would have likely fit the next day. They were already the roomiest things she had packed.

She had spent most of the flight worrying about Dare's reaction to the room service tab and blushing as her enlarged frame jiggled with every bump. She had noticed quite a few stares as she made her way to the seat. Kate had initially considered it to be the shock of seeing so much cat jammed into clothing so tiny, but by the time they landed she wasn't so sure. A number of the people gawking at her flab had blushed and turned away when she had made eye contact, only to try to subtly glace back in her direction for the remainder of the flight. Kate was fairly certain that they were simply checking her out and not discussing her weight by the time they landed.

Baggage claim confirmed this theory as a cute bull terrier from the flight had managed to both strike up a conversation and ask for her number. She was taken aback with the sudden request, and only managed to stammer that she was already dating someone before dashing out of the terminal clutching her luggage. Kate was fairly certain he was staring at her butt as she jiggled out of view. She felt silly for having literally ran from the situation, but as she reflected on what had transpired her confidence increased dramatically.

It had given her confidence enough of a boost to head to the shopping mall directly from the airport to buy new clothing. The boost, however, was quickly wearing off as she struggled to fit into normal womens large clothing. Nothing was fitting. Kate sighed as she moved into the plus sections, she'd never had to shop in this section of the store before. The first couple of large plus outfits she picked didn't fit either, leaving a stomach roll peaking out. She swallowed nervously as she moved onto the plus-XL's, hoping she'd find something would be able to cover her girth. She tried to keep the terrier in mind in an effort to keep her spirits up as she pulled a blue XL top from the rack.
