* * * * *

Zayn Malik started University roughly 16 months ago. He was bright eyed and bushy tailed, excited for the adventures he'd get to have, and the friends that he would make.

However the reality sunk in after the introduction period ended and assignments and deadlines started pilling up. Zayn soon found himself doing virtually nothing else other than studying, eating, or a combination of both at the same time. Combine this with Zayn's infamously bad cooking, meaning that he was forced to frequent the all you can eat dining hall, and a recipe for a very extreme freshman 15 emerged.

Even after only 2 months it was clear that Zayn was letting himself go. Which resulted in a very enjoyable trip back to Bradford where his siblings took it upon themselves to poke his belly and pinch his emerging love handles at every opportunity. After stepping on the scale and seeing that he was up 34lbs, Zayn vowed to get back into shape.

But this wasn't meant to be. After languishing in the communal gym for a week, watching college athletes grunt and sweat to their hearts content, Zayn unconsciously put the thought of exercise at the back of his mind.

In the following months, Zayn continued to grow, and his appetite grew larger and larger in tandem. Zayn soon found himself in the dining hall at midnight almost every night, eating whatever scraps were left over before the hall closed for the night. Seconds, thirds, even fourths, Zayn was accurately nicknamed the human garbage disposal by a few kitchen workers.

In a deceptively short amount of time, Zayn found himself struggling to get dressed in the morning, shirts would stretch audibly, and pants would barely button, even after struggling for several minutes. But Zayn could not be deterred from his gluttony, it was practically ingrained by this point.

His next visit home was a blur of offhand comments about how fat he'd become, how tight his clothes were (indecently so according to Trisha) and various ways that he could lose the weight. Zayn tuned them out like last time, but made sure to weight himself again.

"Shit! 259lbs! That's another 60lbs over last time!"

Zayn put in real effort this time in his mission to lose weight, but it just seemed that his heart wasn't in it. One minute he'd be preaching to himself about the wonders of quinoa, and the next minute he's three quarters of the way through a family dinner feast from McDonalds.

It was at this time that Zayn's battered and stretched clothes could seemingly take no more abuse. He'd be playing Mario Kart with his friend Liam, or walking to class even, and the next thing you know he gets too excited or he forgets to suck his gut in, and suddenly his pants explode, a seam rips or a button pops or both at the same time.

After his loosest shirt becomes a crop top, Liam finally convinces Zayn to buy some new clothes, y'know, before he's arrested for indecent exposure. It's a real possibility to, since his sweatpants can't even cover half his arse cheeks, and his shirt barely reaches his navel.

Zayn is quite shocked to find that his shirt size has increased from a Medium to a 3XL, and his pant size from a 30 to a 46. For the first time in about 7 and a half months, Zayn owns clothes that can actually fit. What's funny is that less than 3 months later they're too tight again, which just so happens to coincide with yet another visit home.

His mother tries to pull down his shirt whenever she sees him, and Zayn is glad she hadn't seen him before he sized up his wardrobe. Zayn, without even trying at this point, eats more than his family combined, and then waddles, yes waddles, up the stairs to check just how heavy he is.

Zayn makes all kinds of guesses internally, but none of them are even close. Zayn steps onto the scale after a deep breath, and makes sure to look around his gut to actually be able to see the number.

"Woah.." Zayn stared, his eyes burning a hole in the scales display, as it broadcast '316lbs' back to him.

This was the final straw, and upon returning to uni, he hired a personal trainer.

Of course no one, not even Zayn, was surprised when he came home 5 months later another 55lbs larger, still in his outgrown clothes, and still somehow surprised that he'd become such a lazy hog.
