A charming story overall, though Grace comes onto a stranger faster than I'd expect. The closing sequence makes me wish this was fleshed out into a series to explore the characters further.
Great story, you write in a fantastic voice and had a great moral too. Good job
Self-loathing in a character is one thing, but this whole piece comes off pretty hateful to fat people. Less "everyone deserves to be loved" than "only a blind person could love a fattie, and even then they'll be more lovable if they're thinner."
Thought it ran a little short. But you said your piece and ran with it to the end. If you were going for sympathy for overweight women, I felt more for her because she was locked in a loop of disdain and depression. I gave you 5 stars for the effort of trying to convey a medical and psychological condition. Your head is in the right place. I guess you need some practice fleshing out your characters when trying to deliver a message.
You WILL get there, practice grasshopper. ☺️
