Eating Milestones

Most people are passionate about something. Some people train for months to compete in a 5k run. Others train for years to compete in a triathlon. Some people may train their whole life to compete in the Olympics. Me... I like to eat, and I have always been training for this. My weight fluctuates a bit, but I usually keep it under check, otherwise, I'd have to have a lot of clothes.

Here are some of my feats of strength:

August 2008 - Bridget and I went on our baby-cation. It was a 1 week cruise in the Caribbean. My goal was to eat as much as I could each day, after all, I had to get my money's worth, right? Well, I am happy to report that I was able to gain 14 pounds during that trip. That boils down to 2 pounds per day. I have to admit, I was quite astonished that I had gained that much, but Bridget said she could tell...

Oct 2008 - At an evening at Red Lobster, I was able to eat 1 salad with dressing, 2 biscuits, A baked potato with dressing, shrimp alfredo, and 60 fried shrimp. I almost didn't think I was going to finish, but Bridget, being the good wife that she is, encouraged me to finish, and I was able to stuff the last 4 in. This outing was kinda rushed too because we were trying to make a movie time right after.


March 2009 - Well, after boasting about my eating abilities, Elder Welms felt the need to challenge me. So, we decided to eat at incredible pizza. Unfortunately, he beat me bad. Needless to say, I was disappointed in myself. I had been watching my calories for about 3 weeks and blame my shameful defeat on a smaller stomach. But here were my results (We kept tabs):
12 pieces of pepperoni pizza
3 pieces of pan pepperoni pizza
2 glasses of Barq's rootbeer
5 beef tacos
6 cookies
3 cinnamon rolls
1 cup of ice cream
