"It was around the time when my mom was bed ridden. I would come in and bring her her meals and medication. And sometimes I would find some Dimensions Magazines under her bed." Shawn said.

"Dimensions Magazines?" Jess asked. Smiling Shawn headed off to the garage, returning a minute later with an old magazine.

"It was a magazine about weight gain that was published back in the early 2000s." Shawn said putting one on the table.

As the girls looked down at it they saw not only articles, but pictures of large men and women.
"Mommy, what's this?" A young Shawn asked, pulling a magazine out from under his mother's bed.

"Oh uh...that's something only for mommy. And something daddy shouldn't know about." she said.

"Why not?" Shawn asked as his mother took the magazine from him.

"Uh...just because." she said. "See mom was someone who was worried about accidentally warping my young mind." Shawn said.

"Still surprising she read these." Jess said as she enjoyed some bacon. "Yeah. Though while I did keep from telling dad about it I did have someone else to ask about the magazines. My grandmother." Shawn smiled.

"She told me all about them and what they were. She even shared with me a few issues for me to keep to myself." Shawn said.

"Yep. And even after mom died, grandma would order me a copy of it every month up until the magazine closed in 2009." Shawn said.

"Doesn't sound like much of a long story." Jess said. "Well the magazines were only part of the story..." Shawn blushed. "You see a little bit before my mom passed her and grandma took me one last time together to get ice cream. I was so excited to be getting ice cream with mom that I wasn't watching where I was going..."

He was startled by the size of the woman, but as they crashed into each other he was surprised how soft she felt. "Oh. Excuse me." The woman blushed as she looked down at him.
