From the first chapter we realize that Tere suffers and has always suffered with her overweight problem since her classmates laughed at her since high school, and constantly nicknamed her a whale, fat, hippopotamus. This leads Tere to want to forget this trauma by joining the Chubby Anonymous club, where people like her express her problems in her life. It is there that Teresa meets what would be her best friends, Patty Orama, Asdrubal, Paco and Toño Villegas, nice fat boys who made friends with Tere to the point of helping her find her love.
