Samantha reclined on her couch, her hands resting atop her swollen stomach, which rose prominently beneath her snug button-up shirt. She had just returned from an all-you-can-eat buffet, where her competitive streak had gotten the better of her. Plate after plate of pasta, sushi, fried chicken, and desserts had left her feeling stuffed to the brim. Her belly, usually flat and toned, now stretched round and firm, pushing through her open pants. Feeling a mix of pride and amusement at her indulgence, she grabbed her phone and opened Snapchat.
Tilting the camera to capture the full extent of her overindulgence, she snapped a picture of her rounded belly, the words "Buffet 1, Me 0 🥴" scrawled across the image. She added a laughing emoji for good measure and sent it off to her close friends. Moments later, her phone buzzed with replies ranging from "OMG how do you eat so much?!" to "That’s impressive but maybe pace yourself next time 😂." Samantha smirked, leaning back further. Her stomach gurgled loudly in response, and she whispered, “Alright, alright, I’ll take it easy next time... maybe.”
