"Man, I overdid it."
Eric and Kelly were getting ready for bed after Thanksgiving weekend with Kelly's family. The boys (Jason and Alex- 8 and 10) were in bed. Eric had just unbuckled his belt which had been feeling tight after an indulgent weekend.
"Your mother is quite the cook. I'd weigh 200 pounds if we didn't live 200 miles away.
He was standing in front of the dressing room mirror and patting his mid-section. "Look at that pot'"
Eric was a committed runner. He was lean and moderate in all things, particularly his diet. He had been 150 soaking wet when they married 12 years ago and hadn't gained a pound since.
Kelly indulged him.
"Yeah," she told him. "You are getting to look just like Jim."
Jim was Kelly's younger brother who had recently shifted from body builder to weight training. 185 in college, then 225 when he took an office job and now nearly 300.
"I wish." Eric grinned. "He's a real macho man. But I was thinking more of Rob"
Rob was Kelly's brother-in-law- a 6'4" string bean who had, since their last visit developed a soft ball belly on his lanky torso.
Kelly laughed and patted Eric's midsection.
"You've got a way to go, Besides when was the last time you saw a runner with a pot belly? You work off any indulgence automatically with your training schedule."
Kelly fondled Eric's imaginary pot belly and soon enough the two were in bed making love.
Drifting off to sleep, Eric mused about what it might feel like to be the bruiser like Jim or even out of shape and indulgent like Rob. Kelly was musing as well. She loved Eric but maybe life would be more fun if he had other interests than running. This weekend he had taken seconds once or twice and even ate desert. Maybe it was time to stop indulging Eric's demands for healthy cooking.
