Paloma is a 34year old mother.She had a beautiful daughter,Helen.She was 11years old.They were inseparable,she was married to John who became distant with her after they had Helen.John never wanted kids but he had to deal with Helen,but it didn't change the fact that John started becoming bitter and selfish because Paloma had to spend more time on Helen.Paloma gained weight after carrying her.
This was the main reason why John didn't want kids.He always criticized Paloma for being fat.Paloma used to be a very skinny woman but she had medium sized breast,and a** but her hips were wider for a slim woman.She had the body of a goddess, John use to say but now She become plumper ,sloppier ,after she gave birth to Helen.
She had stretch marks on her belly and her once curvy figure was covered by fat.She didn't look as hideous as John proclaimed.
He always totured her to work out or have plastic surgery but Paloma wasn't interested.She loved her body because it was a livid reminder to her that she birthed an angel like her daughter,she didn't want to change her body like some mother's did.To her ,a body after child birth is beautiful,she loved her daughter too much.She served her husband and daughter dinner.
Paloma"how is the food John,I made your favourite spaghetti and meatballs"
John"it's fine"
Helen"it's amazing mommy"
John"why did you give her so much meat,do you want her to be fat like you?"(Paloma shook it off) you shouldn't eat meat as well,I don't need a whale for a wife"(Paloma tried to hold in her emotions)
Helen"momma isn't fat,she just has a big belly" Helen giggledJohn"shut your mouth little child,ask yourself why you mother looks like that?"
Paloma"John , please..
John"shutup you pig!
Helen became tensed
John"this is all your fault, it's all because you were born, just die!"
Paloma"enough!John"
John threw the pasta on Paloma staining her
John"eat this you filthy pig!how dare you raise your voice at me(Paloma shed silent tears)
Helen"please don't be mean to her daddy"
John"I am only mean to her because of you,She became pregnant with you and ruined my life!!look at her ,she looks like trash because of you"Paloma got up and pulled Helen to her side.
John"where are you taking her?are you hiding her from the truth"
Paloma"it's past her bedtime"
John"you are ashamed, aren't you?"
Paloma"no,I won't let her listen to your lies"
John"you mean the truth,You are a fat shell of a woman"
Paloma"I don't care,come Helen"
John"I want a divorce"
Paloma was stunned.Her whole body shaking with tearsHelin"what is a divorce?"
John"it means that I will leave you and your mother out on the street, because she is a f*cked up housewife,who could have used her precious free time to work out instead she wasted it on you.You look exactly like her , just more beautiful and skinnier,I will give it to you but it all came at your mother's cost"
Helen"what?"John"You stole her beauty away for yourself you brat"
Paloma"stop lying"
John"am I?look at your mother Helen,I can show you her old pictures,she looked beautiful but now she is ugly and fat all because of you.and am going to leave you both"
Helen started crying
Helen"am sorry, please don't leave
us"John"it's all your fault.If your mother works out and loses weight,then I will forgive her ,but she doesn't want to,so convince her or it will be all your fault when I leave you two"
He stomped off.Helen wept bitterly.paloma quickly wiped her tears and knelt infront of her daughter.Helen"forgive me mother"
Paloma wiped her daughter's tears.
Paloma"what?no . It's not your fault.
Helen"why didn't you work out?"
Paloma"why should I? You are my baby and I gave birth to you, I am proud of it"
Helen"no you shouldn't be, it's because of me that daddy is leaving us,he is mean to you because of me, and he will leave us on the streets.I don't want our family to break mommy.i am so sorry"
Tears came down paloma's face
Paloma"don't you have ever blame yourself.i choose to have you and I don't regret it."Helen"mom please work out, Please"
Paloma"dear it's okay,I will start working, we will always visit your father after the divorce"
Helen screamed"no!!!

Helen"please mother,daddy hasn't been the best to me, but I still love him, and I know you can't live without him, please am begging y..
Paloma hugged her
Paloma"I will do it , for you okay"
Helen hugged her tightly.That night Paloma placed helen to bed .she spoke to a sleeping Helen
Paloma"it is not only my pride for you dear, it's also fear.i know your father,when I get in shape,he will take me away from you,he will never leave me alone,I would always be in bed with him , leaving you.I have always tried to make time for him,I always put on makeup,tried to get him to go on dates but he blocked me out because I look like this.He always used his business card on me,to avoid me.I will work out for you.I will bring our family back together"The next day they were having breakfast.
Helen"daddy mommy will start working out next week"
John"really?"
He smiled widely.
Helen"yes"
John"good,am proud of you sweetie, you both"
Paloma and Helen smiled.
John"I will be going for a business trip,I will be out for 6months,I will leave next week.so how about we three spend the week together.After school,Helen we can go to the park.
Helen"yes!!you really want to spend time with us"John"off course,we will be like this after I come back from the trip, your mom will be skinnier then"
After school,John brought them to the park,but he handed Paloma gym clothes and asked her to jog around as he got Helen ice cream.paloma was stunned.He made her jog for 30mims straight.helen looked worried for her mother who became breathless,John assured her that Paloma will be alright.Paloma dropped to the floor.They rushed to her,John told her to go for one last lap,but Paloma couldn't do it.John told her that all three of them should do it.Paloma had to do it for her family,the three went for the jog .
After Paloma was exhausted.A week passed and it was hell for Paloma,he would drop Helen off at school,then would make Paloma run after him as he drove off,he also placed her on a strict diet, finally John went for his trip, Paloma could finally breathe.She went to the gym with her daughter,She met her personal trainer who gave her a schedule.This wasn't an easy schedule, but it already had rest time,and required hours of training, unlike John who totured her non-stop.Paloma looked over to her daughter.
Helen"make me proud mommy"
Paloma"I will"
6months later,Paloma stood in front of the huge mirror.helen looked at her old pictures where she was skinnier.
Paloma"am sorry am not skinnier like before"Helen"are you kidding?you look perfect mommy!! your tummy is flat,you have skinnier arms, your thighs , butt and breast are Abit bigger than your skinnier photo"
Paloma"it's because I had you,my breast and hips and butt enlarged even though they were decent before,I kinda love it"
Helen"you should love it"
Paloma finally lost weight but she was abit thick ,her curves came out more.Her body was better than before.She owned it to her daughter.
