I don't know why, but there has been something I wanted to do for a while and I've done it today.
I always like to be able to do things a lot of people can't or perhaps do something that would normally require more than one person to complete. Today, I ate a KFC Chicken Bucket with fries designed for 4 people. Why? To see if I could. 10 pieces of chicken, four portions of fries. You may have eaten more and if so, good on ya.
It's a bizarre idea, but one many others have eaten. You've maybe heard of those people who can eat 60 hot dogs in 10 minutes and it used to be something that grossed me out. Humans aren't meant to be able to do that and I dismissed them as freaks. But as I got older, it intrigued me more. How much can a normal person eat? I found stories of 5 foot tall women weighing about 8 stone eating 8 pounds of food and it made me wonder if I could a fraction of that. I myself am about 5'3" and weigh 10 stone. I decided to weigh myself right now to see what I've increased to. I've temporarily gained 4 pounds from eating and I'm now regretting running up the stairs.
It's a weird feeling being completely aware of what's in your stomach. I can feel it sitting there. I'm not sure you're meant to. I've eaten big amounts of food before, but only those designed for 1. I washed down 2 pounds of chicken and 1 pound of fries with two litres of water. My plan was to just eat the chicken as fast as possible then chew 7 or 8 fries and swallow it with water. I split it into 6 chicken/2 fries and 4 chicken/2 fries. I finished the second bit in about 8 minutes after a 30 minute lull.
It was interesting to see how I reacted to the food. My jaw started to ache and the chicken quickly became something I didn't want to eat any more of. By piece 5 I barely resisted spitting it out. It was suddenly this gross disgusting food. It reminded me of being forced to eat vegetables when I was younger. The chips were quite easy really. They go down with water and even when I had my fill of chicken, the fries went down simply. I started to sweat slightly at one point. The heat of the food and the number of layers I was wearing didn't go well together. I didn't gag or anything like that (I was going to stop immediately if I ever did).
Then there's what people call "The Wall". The wall is when you brain says "that's it, we don't need any more food". The thing is, your body can take more afterwards if you want to. This is one of the most extreme mental blockades I've ever experienced. It made pushing yourself to run faster look like nothing. It made nervousness before an exam seem like a good thing. It's just... really hard to bypass. I don't even know how I did. I got to the fries and I had a good rhythm going with the water and the wall sorta faded. Then I got back to chicken and it returned in full force. Eating just became the last thing I wanted to do. Kinda like trying to whack off after you just whacked off. It's a crude example, but I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about.
So now, I'm sitting here typing. I feel kinda woozy and I've got some water and antacid tablets just in case. Not sure if I'll be moving anytime soon. Getting sleepy too. Also wobbling on my chair.
Tomorrow I have set the day aside for all the sex I will have with the girls who are impressed with my highly sexy feat of eating
I will leave you with the lid of my KFC bucket which was the last thing I looked at before I started.

So weirdly disgusting and intriguing at the same time. I guess I'm not at that stage where I want to attempt such a feat.
What kind of chicken did you eat? Original? Crispy? Do you think it made a difference?

I think a lot of it comes down to what the food is, not just the weight. Like I'm a raw vegan and I can eat 5 pounds of bananas in one sitting easily because the food isn't as dense and difficult to digest. (I generally don't, but have done in the past)
Eating that much meat and refined carbohydrate in one sitting is going to fuck up your digestion and make you feel ill though, its more to do with how hard to digest the food is than the amount.
Speed eating is the stupidest thing ever :/

Fastfood always makes me feel durty.
I can eat tons of normal food but when I stick a couple of Macs under my nose I just feel full lol .
Same with KFC. I just don't understand how people can ask for supersized menus :o
|
haha this was a well written and interesting blog! I wish every blog was like this or similar in entertainment.
5/5
btw, what does it feel like when you have to shit all this out lol?
and now I'm hungry too but the nearest KFC is so far

Weight/Height?
huh? Did you even read his post? He mentions his height and weight.
As for myself, I have alot of problems with food in general ever since having emergency stomache surgery last year. I cant really eat too much (half a portion) before I experience immense pain in both my upper back, and just under my solar plexes. I cannot fathom what it would be like to actually sit down and eat that much food, followed by that much water lol. My hats off to you.

The stone is a unit of measure, abbreviation st[1] which, when it ceased to be legal for trade in United Kingdom in 1985, was defined in British legislation as being a weight or mass [sic] equal to 14 avoirdupois pounds (about 6.35 kilograms).

I've always had a bit of a fascination with competitive eating. I've had 2 contests with people. The first I tied at 14 slices of pizza. The second I won at 10 mcdonalds cheeseburgers vs 5 (they stopped trying after realizing I was clearly going to win). I'm a competitive person and I think it's fun to push your limits in whatever you're naturally good at.
I'll include my usual disclaimer at this point that I'm an average weight. Excess fat is actually a significant detriment to competitive eating as it limits the amount your stomach can stretch.

Fat.
+ Show Spoiler +/me eats flicky :3
If I eat you, does that mean that I also ate the chicken you ate?
|
I tried to do this recently by eating as many pancakes as possible at IHOP (they have all you can eat pancakes). I never really tried an eating competition before and thought it would be easy. BUT omg it sucks a lot. The food will not go in, and I've run half marathons and you get the same nervous tingle feeling in your extremities. I thought it would be a lot of fun but it is not enjoyable at all.

That is really impressive for a guy your size :D When was the last time you ate before this KFC binge? I think I could manage about 2/3 of what you ate if I only ate once at the end of the day. Maybe I should I try it some time.

I only ate a light dinner the night before but in retrospect I could easily have eaten in the day before too. I just drank a lot of water instead of eating. It's mostly mental really as long as what you eat is within you stomach's stretching ability.
The thing with how enjoyable it was like this for me: The first few minutes it was good. I felt like I was doing way better than I should be, it was me being better than usual. Then it's kind of a struggle that I would liken to pushing your body through excercise. I had a great sense of accomplishment when I'd finished. It's weird. I may do it again in the future but I'd have to eat more then I'd feel worse. Currently I got this bloated feeling that hurts but it comes and goes. Still not used the toilet since.
Just to point out, I eat quite healthily normally. I don't have a strict diet, but no fizzy drinks or chocolate and stuff like that. Cutting out the crap for most of the time.

Eugh! Don't ruin food like that! You made it sound like torture. I really can't see the appeal of this sort of thing, but I guess you're gonna do what you're gonna do. Don't hurt yourself if you chose to continue.

Dude, I so understand the mental block thing. Whenever I finish eating a 12 inch sub from subway or whatever, I'm really full, and when i try to eat more, I usually can, but its just hard. I have friends that can eat like 6 whoppers tho. I can only eat 2
