It begins with a most unusual pregnancy. Her mother and father were very slender people. Not that they were health or fashion freaks- both had grown up in near starvation, and never acquired much of a normal appetite. Despite this, during the pregnancy, her mother suddenly couldn't eat enough. Food vanished down her seemingly endless stomach, only to be joined by impossible amounts more. But the strangest part is, she gained but 10 pounds during the pregnancy- only a few more than the child itself could explain. And the child wasn't even particularly large; in fact, she was on the small side, weighing only 6 and 1/2 pounds at birth.
After the birth, her mother lost her appetite and returned to normal eating habits. And so did Sharon, leaving no trace of her gluttonous beginnings. In high school however, Sharon decided it was time for a change. After eighth grade, she no longer wanted to follow the crowd- and she had the metabolism to defy them to an incredible degree. Over that summer, she gained over 100 pounds, and she wasn't satisfied with that. She didn't stop until reaching the weight of 500 pounds following the summer before her junior year, and at last she began to stop gaining. She settled at that weight because she still retained a remarkable degree of mobility up to that point, and didn't want to jeopardize it, as well as she no longer wanted to spend half of her free time eating- after all, this is high school.
The date is December 13th, a Monday. This is the last week before Christmas break, and barely a month after her seventeenth birthday.
