I am so FAT!!! I don’t have access to a weighing scale but I can be certain I have gained at least ten pounds since I moved to Maine end of May. This summer my worst vice was banana splits.

Banana Split

I had one of these beautiful babies at least twice a week: one scoop vanilla with blueberry topping, one scoop strawberry with strawberry topping, one scoop black raspberry with raspberry topping, whipped cream, nuts and cherries sandwiched between banana halves.

I scored these banana splits from a tiny little single wide staffed by incredibly obese women. Each woman had their own station because there is no way two of them could squeeze past each other in the kitchen aisle.

Jay warned me I’d start looking like them fat ladies soon if I kept up my banana split habit. Look at that gleeful look in my eyes… I’m so ashamed! It takes all of my powers to resist the creamy goodness!

Today it was raining so I didn’t have a banana split, but we went out to Moody’s Diner in Waldoboro and had lunch. The Lobster Stew was awesome! Lobster in a milk and butter soup, served with a couple of buttermilk biscuits.

Oh, sacred cow udders, I worship thee!!! I see every kosher Jew shuddering at my utter disregard for cleanliness. Oh, yes! I am a dirty lobster eating meat product mixing heathen!

I was so stuffed! I couldn’t believe Jay ordered Walnut Pie a la Mode after my soup. Then he promptly left me and the kid to eat dessert while he checked out the gift shop without the task of having to chase after our little tasmanian devil that devastates all shop merchandise. I’d eaten half of it already before I remembered I wanted to photograph.

Have you ever been so full that you felt like puking? That’s how I felt by the time we stepped out of Moody’s Diner. All it would have taken was for someone to poke me in the middle. I tried to swallow the sour pukey taste in my mouth, breathe in and out through my tight jeans. I am so anti-puking. It was the one thing I told Max Hardcore I would NOT do. Jay even encourages me to puke sometimes when I feel like I’ve had food poisoning, but I just can’t. I can’t bring myself to put my head in a toilet bowl. It’s too gross! I guess the point of sticking your head in a toilet is to gross yourself out enough that you puke, but I just can’t. I don’t think I’d make a good bulimic. I’d be too grossed out. I’d rather be fat. What do you think? Do I look good FAT?
