    Croc, a nervous anthro male crocodile, was anxiously pacing in his flat. He had an important meeting tomorrow and the stress was eating him up.

    As his stress levels soared, Croc found comfort in food. He began stress eating, consuming everything in his flat, hoping it would calm his nerves.

    After eating, Croc collapsed onto his bed and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he realized something was wrong.

    Looking in the mirror, he was shocked to see an enormous belly looming over him. His body had transformed overnight due to his stress eating.

    Despite the struggle, Croc managed to put on his suit and head to his meeting. But his enormous belly wouldn't allow him to pass through the skyscraper's doors.

    With the help of the empathetic receptionist and some passerbys, Croc was pushed and pulled into the building. It was a humiliating experience.

    Croc hurried to his meeting room, his face flushed with embarrassment. He took a deep breath, but his suit couldn't handle the strain and ripped.

    Standing in the room in just his red boxers, Croc felt a wave of humiliation wash over him. He quickly left the room and rushed back home.

    Back in his flat, Croc tried to find clothes that could accommodate his new size. But everything was too small. He felt defeated and broke down in tears.

    His co-workers decided to check on him after the incident. They found Croc crying and immediately felt empathy for his situation.

    They comforted Croc and reassured him that his weight did not define his worth or capability. They made him understand that it was okay to seek help when needed.
