Ain't That A Shame - Your character goes out to a buffet with a friend who warns them not to overeat, lest they wind up with a tummyache. Naturally, your character doesn't listen. Does their friend have any sympathy for their poor achy belly?

In the Still of the Night - Your character wakes up in the middle of the night to the sound of their belly rumbling. Maybe they didn't eat much for dinner, because right now they're absolutely starving, but fortunately, it's the perfect hour for a midnight snack.

Baby I'm Yours - Your character is notorious for not listening to their stomach when it's hungry, and they're stubborn and argumentative whenever people suggest they stop whatever they're doing to eat. They have one special somebody, though, who knows just what to say to coax them into sitting down for a meal.

Come Go With Me - Your character is dying to try out a new restaurant, and they invite a companion to come along. They order what they think will be a few small things to share, but the portions are much bigger than they expected, and it proves to be a bit much even for two.

Big Girls Don't Cry - Your character's eyes are bigger than their stomach, and they have a tendency to bite off more than they can chew. When they find themself filling up halfway through their meal, though, they're too stubborn to admit they can't finish and keep pushing themself past the point of discomfort.

I Only Have Eyes for You - After a big meal, your character's outfit can no longer contain their belly. Their pants are unbuttoned and their shirt has ridden up, leaving their round tummy on full display, and their companion just can't keep their eyes away from it.

Blueberry Hill - It's blueberry season, and your character can't get enough of them. When they visit a restaurant known for taking advantage of the seasonal fruit, though, they find that maybe a big blueberry shake and an even bigger slice of blueberry pie are more than enough, especially if it's on top of lunch.

Tears On My Pillow - Your character is curled up in bed with an awful tummyache, feeling absolutely miserable. Their poor tummy is feeling bloated and sore and they're all alone. Will somebody come comfort them?

Under the Boardwalk - Your character is spending a warm summer night the way it's meant to be spent--at the boardwalk, eating far more fries, pizza, ice cream, and other irresistible snacks than their belly can handle.

“I was nervous to step on the scale and see if i’d gained any weight while I had a beautiful weekend of great food with my partner”

Carey was full. And by full, she meant stuffed-to-the-gills with cake on top. Her belly was straining against her shirt; her shorts’ buttons had popped open ages ago. And through it all, her viewers steadily encouraged her, the ding! of the chats grounding her to the moment.

She shoved aside the two massive bowls of noodles that she’d just devoured, taking a moment to savour the feeling of being full. She knew that later, when she’d be nursing the consequences of this huge meal, she’d not have time to enjoy it.

Her camera was pointed towards her face, and at that point she picked it up, angling it so that the audience could see her gurgling, groaning belly.

As the food sloshed around in her, she stifled a burp as she spoke. “Well, guys, do you think I should sign off for the night? Or do you want me to do a little Q&A?”

The chat lit up with responses: only a few were telling her to go rest, but since the majority won, she started accepting questions.

“How do you feel? Um, full. Stuffed like a teddy bear. There’s so much food in me that I can barely stand!”

“Will you be okay or do you need something? Agh, I really need the soothing belly rubs of my Bess. She’s just outside, so once I log off I’ll definitely get my wish granted.”

“Can we get photos of you getting belly rubs? Tell you what, I’ll upload a quick something later on my Insta about that. I’ll even add video stuff.”

One hand rested gently on her belly. “Ooh, guys, this isn’t settling very well. I think I overdid it…” She let loose a mighty belch, her hand briefly fluttering off her gut in shock.

The chat was divided – should she go offline, or stay for the aftermath? Eventually, “go offline and upload pics later” won, and Carey gladly logged off with her customary “Don’t miss the next one!”.
