"Her body felt heavier in subtle ways—when she bent over, she felt a slight compression at her middle, like her belly gently folding in."
"There was a new plushness under her skin, a soft give when she pressed her hand to her side or sat cross-legged."
"Her thighs touched when she walked now, with a quiet rustle that hadn’t been there before."
"She’d catch herself shifting her posture more often, aware of how her midsection settled differently when she sat."
"Her silhouette had changed—still familiar, but softer at the edges, with a gentle roundness replacing once-flat contours."
