Before long, Jo had returned, hot dog in hand. It was large - more like a meal than a snack - but the smell reignited Becky's hunger.
"Gimme!" she said, snatching at it. Jo held it out of reach.
"Manners!" Jo exclaimed. "What do you say?"
Now it was Becky's turn to roll her eyes. Her tummy was rumbling again, the scent of sausage making her completely forget how much she'd already eaten.
"Please." she said grudgingly, and Jo passed her the hot dog. She tore into it immediately, tomato ketchup dripping onto her shirt in her haste. Jo grumbled to herself as she watched her daughter eat - that was just yet more washing she'd have to do later. Forgetting about it, she turned back to watch the baseball game.
By the time half the hot dog was gone, Becky was running out of energy. She'd already eaten a lot that day, and she was beginning to feel a bit sick - beneath her tight shirt her belly was swollen and bulging, packed to bursting with unhealthy junk food. She'd always had a fairly big appetite, and was no stranger to overeating - that much was obvious from her pudgy body - but she'd never eaten this much in a single afternoon before and it was taking its toll.
Jo glanced down at her.
"You alright, darling? Can't finish it?"
Becky frowned.
"I'm - I'm fine." She said stubbornly, biting off another big mouthful of the hot dog. "I'm gonna finish it." More determined than ever, she choked down the rest of the greasy snack, swallowing down the last bite as the game was almost finished. She leaned back in her chair, groaning unhappily; her belly was aching sharply, filled to its absolute limits. Her new pants, so loose only half an hour ago, now felt tight against her swollen tummy - but still she was filled with a sense of victory. She'd managed to finish the hot dog, even if she felt awful now.
Before she could revel in her success too much though, her mom was standing up.
"Come on Bec, the game's over. Let's pick up Josh and head back to the car."
