One step she thought she'd never take was the one back into the shape-up club, but moved by the scale and by her now empty bank account, she risked her life and went back.

Down the mall neon col- ors, the latest wave of fashion, grabbed at the senses. She tried on outfit after outfit under the hot lights of the dress- ing rooms. Tired and feeling a bit wrinkled, she headed in the di- rection of the car, ing for came. She finally lost enough weight to go shopping-shopping for size seven clothes. After the orthodon- tist's appointment she planned a trip to Oak Park Mall. The halls leading to the orthodon- tist's office always looked a little de- pressing. The thought of probing fingers and tightening wires just didn't excite her very much. She walked back to the small room and sat in the familiar old chair.

Monday morning, he promptly hit the snooze button. Fifteen minutes later he was in the shower. Drying his hair was frustrating as annoying natural curls began to flip out. He combed and brushed and dried until the hair settled back down. He went to his closet for something to wear.
