Chapter 3 - what did i do?!

I wake up to see the little man standing over me. He smiles politely. "Sorry miss, we're closing up. You well passed 5 lbs of candy so I'd be happy if you returned tomorrow, but you've got to leave for today" Oh... crap I fell asleep. Oh wow my gut hurts! Oh wow ow! Oh no. Ooooh no. I fell asleep with my mouth under the chocolate spigot. I'm incredibly tired and disoriented. I feel lightheaded although I'm laying down. I attempt to get up and fail miserably. I groan in pain. The man chuckles. "I haven't seen someone eat like that in ages. Here, let me help you." He puts an arm around me and as helps me sit up, the pressure in my stomach intensifies. I wince in pain. "I bet it hurts!" he exclaimed "These fit you just fine when you walked in!" he poked my exposed stomach next to my belly button where my high waists shorts were supposed to be buttoned. My fat wobbled a little bit. "And look at you now!"

I blushed. "Sorry!" I immediately tried to fix my button, but as I grabbed the two sides of my shorts, trying to force them together, it increased the pressure on my gut and I had to stop. Owwww. I winced again.

The man laughed a bit more. "It's fine" He reassured. "give it a few minutes, go to the bathroom, and that will alleviate some of the pressure you're feeling. You'll be fine."

I nodded and let him help me stand. It was a slow process. Breathing was hard. I couldn't inhale very deeply before my massive stomach rejected the notion because it was so full. The man led me to the bathroom. Walking, I felt dizzy, like I'd just gotten off of a roller coaster. "I'll be right outside. Holler if you need anything" the mad said as he let the bathroom door close with me inside.

"Thank you!" I managed before it closed all the way.

I thought I'd try going to the bathroom first. I mean, logically that would have to remove some pressure. Relieving myself was definitely a good choice. I could feel the pressure bing alleviated. When I stood up, although still mighty groggy and still stuffed, I was in considerably less pain.

I open the stall and see myself in the mirror for the first time. Oh wow! What did I do to myself?!

My stomach sticks out in front of me like a beach ball. I have pretty noticeable love handles. I really waddle more than walk. I turn sideways and rub my tummy. In the mirror, I track the slight indentations my fingers make in my fat as they move around. I play with my big belly and watch how it moves and sloshes for a bit (it feels so good!) before attempting to rebutton my shorts.

I grab the button and the hole and push them close to each other. There's too much flab in the way... There's no way I can walk home with my shorts unzipped. And my shirt is way too short to cover anything useful. I've got to think strategy.

I try to shove the right side to the left and the left side to the right, but I only get marginally closer. I try to pick up my food baby and button under it and It's so close! But with one arm holding my belly, it's hard to get the button to go through the hole. I remember the belt in my purse. I take it out and wrap it around and under my distended mound. I suck in best I can which unfortunately isn't much at all), and tighten the belt as much as I can. I can just barely get it to one notch looser than where it was when I came in. Still sucking in, I aggressively force the button in the hole. It goes in on the 4th attempt. After I get the zipper up, I relax a bit with relief and BAM! my belt snapped! Whoops... I pick up the pieces. Oh cool; I think I can fix this.

I admire and squeeze my new juicy love handles once more before sucking in again and pulling up the top of my shorts. My bloat isn't nearly as obvious now. If you were looking, you would see the fabric of my shorts screaming, but because they're so high waisted, you can barely see my muffin top.

I put my belt back in my purse and head out of the bathroom, thanking the little man before I leave. He's sweeping the floor and he smiles back to me to waving good bye.

I exit the store and find the shadows are very long and the sun is much lower than it was when I went in. How long was I in there?!?
