Gentle Giant Glutton

🌸🪻A little bounce 🪻🌸

FML

Stopped at Walmart. Took too long to get clothes. Fitting room was closed so had to purchase stuff to try on in the bathroom and return things. So extra steps. Size 16 is too tight. I am in 18 now.

Thought this would fit ok, but too baggy and had already removed tags because I was in a hurry.

So went back and got this tshirt that under any other circumstance I would never wear.

Also the shorts bunch up in between my thighs as I walk and I hate it

"I'm done."

That's what I say after the first burger.

You raise an eyebrow.

"Really?"

I look down at my plate for a second before reaching for another fry.

"Okay… maybe not."

You can't help but smile.

You watch as I keep eating, slower now, every bite making me pause a little longer than the last. My stomach feels warm, comfortably heavy, the kind of fullness that makes every deep breath a little more noticeable.

"I shouldn't…"

I say it while already reaching for one more bite.

"I know," you laugh.

When the meal is finally over, I lean back with a long sigh, your hand instinctively finding my stomach.

"I ate way too much."

"Was it worth it?"

I close my eyes for a second before nodding.

first dinner done 🍽️🍕

“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:

It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.

You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.

Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.

Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%

During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.

When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.

You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.

You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.

If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.

Please feel free to share this.

And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.

you can use their product locator to find their stuff

also, they do store brand bagged salads and the salads for trader joes, target, walmart, aldi, and kroger.

costco sells them, but only as taylor farms (not as the house brand or a private label)

they also do starbucks salads.
