But your Mom said it was worth it. She said all you had to do was put up for it for a year, and you'd be set for life. Well, you and her, but still...
Anyway, the law dealing with shrunken women was pretty cut and dry. Your mother can do pretty much anything she wants, as long as it doesn't cause any physical damage to you.
Emotional damage is another matter entirely.
Which is why you're about to be married off to a fat man. Maybe. Sort of.
You're part of the cast of Small Rewards, which is a reality show that combines elements of The Bachelorette and The Biggest Loser. The show is a year long contest between a group of obese men, ranging from age eighteen to age forty. who are competing to lose weight and get in shape in order to win a prize.
That prize would be you.
The concept is a little more complicated than that. Not only does the winner have to lose the most weight, he has to reach certain fitness goals set at the beginning of the year. He has to go to counseling (excerpts of which are shown on the show) and meet certain psychological goals as well. Theoretically, the winner can't be a guy who is going to gain all the weight back three months after the show ends, and treat you like crap in the process. The guy is supposed to get rid off all those mental hangups that got him fat in the first place. This, in turn, will make him treat you like a tiny princess.
That's the goal, anyway.
So, theoretically, at the end of the year, none of the guys could win, and you go back to your normal, if shrunken, life.
All of the guys are motivated to win each week by you coming out in a skimpy (but still PG-13 rated) outfit. You really can't blame them. Everyone says you look just like Beyonce Knowles when she was singing with Destiny's Child. Well, you have slightly darker hair and skin, and your hair is straighter and a little bit longer, and you're a (proportionately) cup or two larger than Beyonce in the chest area. And your eyes are a hazel-green, rather than being brown. But yeah, you can see the resemblance. And the fact that the three contestants who have the best chance of winning are all white doesn't seem to hurt these motivation modeling sessions in the least
And at the end of the season, the moment arrives, and the winner is
