You are a female teen called Portia. You live in a small town in Louisiana. You are underweight at 95 lbs and 5'8" tall. You started watching mukbang recently and have decided to try and gain weight by becoming a professional eater. You have two weeks to prepare for an eating contest in town. The winner qualifies for an national eating tournament called the Belly Challenge. The rules of this eating competition are simple: eat as much food as you can within that time limit.
Before you sit down to prepare for your first morning of eating training, you look down at your skinny body in the mirror. Your concave belly is bereft of fat, making it seem like there's no meat on your bones. You notice how well toned your legs are compared with other girls your age who weigh more than you do. But despite all these things, you still feel depressed because you know that many girls at school consider you too skinny even though they themselves aren't fit or healthy looking either. Your hazel green eyes narrow as they look at your face; the skin around them looks pale and sickly. It seems as though someone has just died, which isn't surprising since you've been feeling so low lately. With your mother's approval, you worked as a child model. You enjoyed the attention at first, but since then, you grew to hate the pressure and mistreatment that it encouraged. you hope that gaining weight and entering eating contests will help you recover and be at peace with yourself.
