Sweet Relief

As you wobble down the sidewalk, you finally stop to catch your breath, huffing and puffing more then the wolf from the story. You really hate this, honestly your not sure you can take weeks and week and months of this to get back down to a reasonable size. You know that Albert believe you can be ripped like him, but at this point, your not sure if you even care anymore. You've been over the spectrum, and now your trying to go from one extreme to another again. Can't you just enjoy yourself?

You take it and dig in, making audible groans of pleasure at the fresh flavor. "My, you certainly have an appetite," he hippos says, "Let me know if there's anything else I can do ya for."
