The decorations are put away. The candy has been eaten. I've gnawed the leftover ham until only the bone was left and I couldn't POSSIBLY cram one more fucking tupperware container into the fridge. In other words, the holiday season is officially over.
Now that we have all gained 30 pounds and are hiding our unsightly flaps, folds, and rolls under our largest sweaters, we are suddenly ecstatic about the cold weather. What used to be "Fuck, it's cold!" has gradually morphed into "lovely weather we're having, isn't it?" Because HEAVEN FORBID it gets warm enough outside to wear a t-shirt. Yep, it's back to the gym for all us fatties who have let ourselves go for the past couple months (and thank god for those little TVs they've got in front of the treadmills now, I gotta catch up on my Jersey Shore).
This is a special time of year I like to refer to as "The Recovery." Our walking pace has slowed, our running shoes have collected cobwebs, and our dignity is nowhere to be found. You know what I say? I say it's high time we rebound out of this season of perpetual binging and get back into the groove! But... well, wait a sec... is that so-called 'groove' really any different than the holiday feasting and non-stop fatassery? Isn't it anytime of year one can find me scarfing down a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger, large fry and chocolate shake, only to hold me over for the drive to Taco Bell? I mean let's be real, that fucking Chalupa Meal has my name ALL OVER IT. All day. Every day. Eat great. Even late. Oh and don't forget the crunchwrap! ...What? Oh right, mild sauce, please.
I'm sorry, I don't know what I was talking about. The holiday season is not much different at all from the rest of the year. For the fatasses anyway. *Sigh* I suppose the only difference is that eating is celebrated during the holidays. It brings people together. From Thanksgiving, to Christmas cookies, to advent calendars, candy canes, pies; it's all about eating! Why must the rest of the year be any different? Hmm... ponder that one, bitches, 'cause THIS fat bitch is hittin' the kitchen. Fuck "THE RECOVERY." Psshh... what a crock of shit. Don't mind me, I'm just gonna go microwave a pot pie and put on my new Susan Boyle CD.
Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays, Pt. 2: Advent Calendars
Who ACTUALLY eats advent calendars the right way? I mean let's be real for a sec, one measly chocolate Jesus or whatever per day never got anyone anywhere. All the fatasses know that eating the entire calendar in one sitting is the only way to play the game.

Happy Holidays, Pt. 1: All About Eating
Ohh, the holidays. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Peace and happiness to one and all. Especially for the fatasses! I mean, let’s be real, the holiday season is ALL. ABOUT. EATING.
First, Thanksgiving: an entire holiday devoted solely to binge eating. What could be more wholesome or natural? For weeks, gluttony wreaks mass hysteria in every supermarket across America. Fatties rampage down the aisles, fighting for turkey, gravy, stuffing, chicken, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, ham (honey-glazed, please), CORN, bread rolls, pumpkin pies, pecan pies, apple pies, every kind of pie, BUTTER, I mean helloooo the list goes on forever. [Note: Be sure to whip out the heavy-duty plastic because those plates are going to be under some serious pressure.] Thanksgiving is a prolonged period of situational insanity, a feeding frenzy that starts to wear off just in time for Christmas.
Let’s take a closer look at Christmas, shall we? Gingerbread houses, candy canes, chocolate Santas, those Lifesaver storybook things, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Christmas cookies (including but not limited to snickerdoodles, chocolate chips, oatmeal raisins, peanut butters, Mexican wedding cakes, double-chocolate chips, Double Stuf oreos), cakes, candies, pumpkin pies, pecan pies, apple pies, every kind of pie, brownies, hot chocolate, peppermint mochas, peppermint bark, and whatever else your huge fucking ass desires.
‘Tis a glorious season, is it not? There’s a good reason people start wearing sweaters and baggy sweatshirts around the holidays and, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be the first to tell you… it’s not because we’re cold. It’s because we’re fat bitches.

Free Bread
The self-control of fatasses across the globe has been tested for centuries time and time again by a small and often overlooked component of the restaurant industry: free bread.
Becoming notably apparent to me within the past couple of days, free bread is an ever-present fatty hazard lurking around every corner. Italian restaurants, pizza parlors, Pat & Oscar’s, The Olive Garden… EVERYWHERE. For instance, the other night, I went to Mamma D’s with some friends and there I was introseduced to their absolutely heavenly bread. Every couple of minutes or so, the pretty bitch with the basket would come wheeling around with a smile on her face and say “more bread?” And I’d look up at her with my kankles, teary eyes, clogged arteries and mouth full and simply nod “yes.”
Another night shortly after, I found myself at California Pizza Kitchen for a going away party. I had forgotten my wallet in my car so the server kept bringing me bread. Plate after plate. Slice after slice. Butter packet after butter packet. The only going away I was concerned about that night was that of my non-diabetic status.
The moral of this story is: take it when you can get it, folks. Fatties, there’s a recession going on out there. These days, when someone offers you free food, you snatch it and run. And if you’re not hungry (which… I mean let’s be real, when does that happen?) you grab it, stick it in your purse and save it for later.

The Trouble with Cupcakes
Just the other day was my sister’s birthday. So, typical of my mother on any given holiday, a selection of sweets was in order. In this particular instance: cupcakes. The trouble with cupcakes is, well, they are fucking delightful.
Conveniently cup-sized treats comprised of fluffy cakes topped with heavenly sweet frosting, they make for the ideal dessert. HOWEVER. Being that cupcakes are cup-sized as opposed to the larger size of a regular-sized cake, there is an unwritten law that you can eat more cupcakes to make up for the fact that they are indeed smaller.
Therefore, of course, I take advantage of this situation and grab one of every flavor: chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, coconut, strawberry and mocha. KEEP IN MIND that I’ve already stuffed myself with sushi at dinner, which means not only have I overeaten but I’ve over-soyed which is an altogether separate experience, dreadfully unpleasant in itself.
Cut to me, bloated and ever-expanding on my futon, emotionally raw and watching Sophie’s Choice. If there is one thing I learned from Meryl Streep’s character Sophie in that movie, it is that there comes a time in everybody’s life when one is forced to make sacrifices in order to move forward to better days. And god damn it my sacrifice is NOT going to be cupcakes!

Cravings
The cravings of a fatass defy all logic and science. A sudden and inexplicable lust for food is a terrifying phenomenon that strikes hard and without warning, similar to natural disasters. Like a natural disaster, onlookers are shocked by the horrific display of the fatass “in the zone” and the damages done could potentially take years to recover from. Unlike a natural disaster, these cravings are not natural in any way, shape, or form and witnesses’ employers cannot write off therapist sessions administering treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Luckily for world peace, my episode occurred around 3:30 AM Pacific Standard Time, so there wasn't anyone watching me (except maybe Jesus) and there were not any cars on 17th Street for me to worry about as I cruised, both hands off the wheel, dressing my Del Taco chicken soft taco with multiple packets of hot sauce. As I maneuvered my way through a left turn at a stoplight using my knees for steering whilst simultaneously placing my large cherry Coke back in its cupholder with one hand and shoveling the rest of the taco down my throat with the other hand, I thought to myself… I’m getting too good at this.
But hey, in a world with McDonald’s Free Mocha Mondays, Wendy’s door-hanger buy one get one free Frosty coupons, and a new Yogurtland right down the street from my house, what is too good these days anyway?

We Meet Again
Today, we meet again at the crossroads of my love-hate relationship with McDonalds. As my loyal fans and subscribers know, I have been livid for weeks about McDonalds' implementation of a twenty-five-cent charge on BBQ sauces. My heart was thrown for a loop AGAIN the other day by this whimsical genie of a fast food establishment when it announced Free Mocha Mondays out of the blue!
For a limited time only, like all good things, Free Mocha Mondays takes place every Monday from 7am-7pm and one can get a free (small-sized, of course) iced or hot mocha. Is this charity? Is this coming out of the sheer kindness of the heart of Ronald McDonald, himself? Is Big Business America treating its economically and diabetically suffering citizens with a delightful summer sweet?
NO! This is a transparent-as-transfat ploy to lure the ignorant and unsuspecting fatasses into the golden arched drive thru! After all, it is common knowledge that the average fatass, when reeled in by a freebie, will drop tens (if not hundreds) on items including but not limited to Happy Meals, Big Mac Specials, McFlurries, apple pies and other desserts and merchandise products including but not limited to hats, buttons, stickers and triple-XL t-shirts and sweatsuits.
This Mocha Monday, however, I drove through and grabbed my free iced mocha with nairy a glance at the menu--shining bright like a beacon of hope to hungry hippos everywhere. That's it! Just an iced coffee! Not a single McNugget! I don't know what came over me. Did I do this out of spite for their relentless marketing strategies? Whatever the inspiration... I won. Take that Ronald McDonald!!! ...and see ya tomorrow.
