"I'm not on the team anymore - I had a fight with Kimberly and she bounced me. So now I can enjoy breakfast for a change," she explained.
"Sounds good to me - that Kimberly, she is a prima donna anyway. So enjoy your food., a few pounds will do you good."
Rosa realized her mom was inferring that she'd gain weight and never be back on the team, and wasn't really concerned about it. At the moment the food Rosa was enjoying made her willing to consider the option.
"So you don't care if I'm on the team or not?"
"High school is to prepare you for college and life, my daughter. Cheerleading is not for life. My weight hasn't bothered me and if you gained some it would look good I think. But these choices are yours to make, not me."
That was her mom - always supportive, but not of the same perspective as her classmates. She could be 200 pounds and her mom would probably serve her ice cream with a smile.
Rosa finished her breakfast and felt good. 200 pounds would never happen, she was sure of that, but perhaps it would be fun not to be so strict with herself. She had some things to consider.
