Stuffing

I finally did something I thought I'd never be able to do again, and I broke 62,000 calories in one day.

Even as much as I've been stretching my capacity lately, this was almost more than my body could handle. I continued to bloat throughout the night, and my husband repeatedly massaged and patted my belly to ease the pressure. This is overly personal -- but he also had to assist me with peeing, because I was unable to stand for about 6 hours.

When I finally made it to the bathroom with great effort and some help, I stepped on the scale. With food weight and fluid retention, I must have exceeded the scales 699.8 lb limit, which means I crammed more than 30 lb of food inside.

I've called out today. Even though I work remote, I'm going to need a rest. Keeping myself comfortable isn't easy when small movements are very difficult.

As we always do, we kept a running total of everything I ate and drank. I have to say, this list isn't for the faint of heart.

Oh wow, what a glut! You must be super proud of yourself

I'm pretty thrilled. Of course, now, I'm dealing with some physical consequences, but they'll pass in a few days. My husband helped me shower tonight, because I'm pretty unsteady. He said I've easily swollen up another foot to 18 in around my midsection, because I'm still so full. Nevertheless, I managed about a 5,000 calorie day today.

Only 5,000 calories, huh? That's like twice the average person's daily calorie allotment and that's your rest day.

What all did you eat?

It ended up being a little more than that, but I definitely consider it a light day for me:

1 bowl of chicken tortilla soup - 320 calories
2 glasses of cranberry juice - 210 calories
1 grilled cheese sandwich - 300 calories
1 green apple - 80 calories
1 peanut butter sandwich - 245 calories
1 cup of tea with honey - 60 calories
1 Chipotle loaded burrito - 1,500 calories
1 32 oz. Dr. Pepper - 340 calories
1 entree Southern Fried Chicken salad - 960 calories
1 Ensure - 500 calories
1 32 oz. Sweet Tea - 360 calories
1 cup of Dannon's strawberry yogurt
1 Big Mac with cheese - 580 calories
1 can of Diet Coke - 0 calories

Total: ~5,900 calories

Oh wow that is still...so much more than I could ever think of eating in the course of one day...except maybe Thanksgiving!

Your stomach is a force of nature!

Still quite the tasty menu 👍😁

I doesn't dare eat more because I was nauseous for about half the day, but now it's after midnight, and I'm craving pizza!
