I enjoy eating. I love food. I once gained 9 pounds in 1 meal. My roommate and I used to have "Gourmet Night" every Monday evening. This usually consisted of a group of guys getting out the cook book, picking out something we didn't know how to pronounce, going to the store to buy the stuff, and making it. Sometimes we would just cook something "traditional". This one particular evening, we decided to do steaks and potatoes. A couple of our buddies went to the store to get the steaks and potatoes. When they walked in, they were laughing pretty hard. When they were finally able to speak, they said, "Gary! We found a potato the size of your head!" and proceeded to pull out a huge potato. They knew that I liked to eat, so they found the biggest steak and the biggest potato in the store and bought them. After baking that huge potato for several hours and cooking the steaks we were ready to eat. My steak and potato could not even fit on a plate. We had to use a serving platter. After loading my baked potato with about a pound of butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon and chives, someone decided that we should weigh my platter. After subtracting for the weight of the platter, the food on my plate weighed 7 pounds. We also weighed me for a before and after weight, and also took before and after pictures of my belly. After I eating every scrap of food on my plate, a couple of beers, and several large glasses of water I also finished my friend Craig's steak and baked potato. On the final weigh-in I had gained 9 pounds in that one meal. My belly size was also greatly increased, as you can see in the before and after pictures.
