Today Craig and I went to a pizza hut buffet for lunch. Craig had seen a forum that said that at pizza hut some guys had eaten 30 to 108 pieces of pizza during their pizza buffet experiences. Craig’s goal was to get to 25 slices during our stay and he’d been planning it for sometime…since yesterday when he read the forum. I was going to eat as much as I could because I felt bad when we went to jimmy chungs and I ended up eating very little of anything.

When we arrived I ended up turning it into a competition of sorts. I opened a little black book that Craig had given me and i wrote on top of one page “Craig’s Pizza Hut Pizza Tally” and on the adjactent page I wrote “Corinne’s Pizza Hut Pizza Tally” under both I also wrote “drinks”.

Whenever we finished a slice of pizza or a pint of bottomless pepsi we would put a tick down. I thought for sure that Craig would win because he was a lot more motivated about eating and after my fourth piece I felt my stomach catching up with me. It was Craig’s determination to stay one ahead of me that kept me going. I knew that if I could get Craig to slow down and take his limit that I could get him to fall and lose his consentration of the food itself.

After my 9th slice Craig was ahead by 2 and I was waining on the edge of stopping. On my next plate up I got 5 pieces instead of the four that Craig had been getting. I knew that if I stayed seated I could eat more than Craig. at Craig’s 10th piece I could see that he was getting sick. I’d gotten sick a bit before that.
I knew that if I tied Craig at 12 pieces that I would have a small chance in beating him. Craig was on his 12th piece and I tied him and he said something that changed my mind for good. I don’t remember exactly what it was but I do know that it involved Americans and their eating habits. I think it was ” If you eat anymore you’ll prove the rumors about Americans and their eating habits” That’s when I was out to beat him for good…forget being lady like…I ate 16 whole pizza slices and finished 3 pints of pepsi when Craig only had 12 slices with 4 pints of pepsi…I won.

We took a long walk to burn off the calories now I’m sitting in on one of Craig lectures. I don’t think I’m going to be hungry for quite some time now.
