With a light pant, Celestia swung both doors open as she waddled into Canterlot Castle's fitness room.

The castle had always held a room with special equipment made just for her. Being nearly twice as tall as the average mare meant that many things simply weren't designed with her grand size in mind. Threadmills that she easily outpaced with her long legs, wing weights that she outsized, and conventional scales that her weight could barely be registered on.

Things were simply often too small. Though these days Celestia generally felt that her being too wide was a more apt description.

At she hauled her figure further into the room, Celestia could see her nemesis. A large state of the art cattle scale, something her dieticians had been forced to order once Celestia had started to put on weight. Their regular scales had easily been overloaded once Celestia had started to get chubby, and these days Celestia was anything but chubby.

Eyeing the scale, Celestia sighed. "Perhaps I finally lost some weight." A little wishful thinking could do wonders.

She didn't bother taking off her regalia these days they weighed next to nothing compared to her.

As her first hoof stepped onto the scale, she quickly saw the number climb. Then came her second hoof, and as Celestia moved further onto the scale, the number began to soar upwards.

1573 lbs - 1831 lbs - 2790 lbs

As the number continued to climb, Celestia moved her hindlegs onto the scale. These meaty thunderthighs hauled most of her weight and she knew she couldn't count her blessings just yet.

3018 lbs - 3793 lbs - 4028 lbs

Celestia allowed her hindlegs to spread as she gently went prone. Her thick blubber jiggling as it settled onto and beyond the metal scale.

ERROR - ERROR - ERROR

With wide eyes Celestia glanced down.

It was unbelievable.

ERROR - ERROR - ERROR

With a pout she glanced in the mirror, frowning as she saw herself.

She needed a bigger scale. Again.
