Mara's birthday is the set piece. A cake bigger than the one from January sits on the table, friends crowd the room cheering, and Mara, at 1,000 lb, sits in the middle of it with her red bandeau stretched to a thin strip over a vast chest. The yellow shorts are a narrow band beneath a belly that hangs over them, frayed at the seams and still whole.
She blows out the candles. The room claps. She picks up a fork and eats the cake slice by slice in front of everyone, because nobody is in any doubt about what she is going to do. Friends bring plates and she takes every one. Pass it here, she says, and means it.
The film has her turn once more for the camera, as slowly as she can manage, so that the guests can see the whole of her from behind: wide hips, soft thighs, the yellow shorts pulled to their last stitch. She looks back over her shoulder and laughs, low and amused.
Then she settles in on the living-room rug, stuffed to the limit and about to burst, and still she lifts the fork. She rubs her belly with both hands, pats it twice, like a drum, and gets one more bite.
That was the promise. This year, she would not say no to anything, and at 1,000 lb she has kept it down to the last crumb. If you want to see every size between that slice of cake in the kitchen and this rug, the full film shows all of it. Every plate, every tight seam, every time the fridge door swung open. Stage by stage, you can watch exactly how one small promise turned into the biggest night of her life.
Mara“Pass it here.”
Mara“There's always a little more room.”
Her outfit at 1,000 lb: The same red bandeau, whole but stretched to a thin strip over a vast bust, and yellow shorts as a tight band beneath a belly that hangs over them, still on.
