“One… two… three!” Holding herself up against the dresser, trying to keep her weight off her aching foot, Rainbow Dash griped and grunted heavily, struggling way harder than she should just to reach down and pull up on her favorite pair of high-waisted leggings.

She really hated to admit it, but it seemed like the simple act of getting dressed was becoming more and more tedious with each passing day. Not only was her twisted ankle making things far more difficult for her, but even with her best intentions to keep her weight in check, she still somehow managed to gain an extra 30 pounds in just two weeks!

Butt bouncing and thighs shaking with every forceful tug, even the stretchiest sweatpants she owed were beginning to feel like a tight squeeze past her knees. As the elastic waistband dragged across the thick flesh of her legs, she couldn’t stop herself from wincing every time she had to get dressed.

Thankfully, as she did finally manage to squeeze her massive rear into her leggings, Rainbow was able to let herself breathe a little easier. But even then, looking down at her flabby gut hanging over her lap, she knew she still had work to do.

“Alright, now here comes the hard part,” she muttered to herself, grabbing and jostling a handful of her belly fat. Once again pressing a hand against the dresser while the other gripped on to the skin-tight fabric, she pulled the elastic forward as hard as she could, trying to stretch it far enough around her bulging belly. But despite her best efforts, it was of no use.

With hardly any progress being made, Rainbow was becoming desperate. So much so that she suddenly, and without thinking, tried to use both hands to pull up on her leggings. Nearly losing her balance in the process, however, the sudden shift in her weight came down hard onto her broken joint.
