Alice the Fat Cheerleader Part 5

Alice looked at the large serving dish, covered in melted cheese and sauce. Her mind told her no, but her stomach was in control. She longingly stared at the meal until it was close enough that she could stick her fork into it.

With the first bite between her lips, Alice experienced an explosion of cheese in her mouth. The soft pasta shell and sauce combined for a tasty morsel. As with everything else, it only took one bite to convince Alice to dig in for more. She rapidly tossed cheese filled shells, one after another into her mouth. With each forkful her cheeks bulged, filled with the soft textured meal.

Maureen just watched as Alice made quick work of the entire serving tray. "You must really like it!" Maureen commented, her remark going in unanswered though, as Alice's mouth was constantly too full to reply. "I'm so glad you're enjoying it." Maureen fawned over Alice. "Your appetite is so impressive!" Alice paid no mind to the adoring comments, she was more fixated on the delicious food in front of her.

She found the shells super easy to eat, cheese was one of her favorite things. She imagined if this was the sort of stuff that Maureen used to eat then she must have been pretty fat. Especially with her short stature, any extra pounds would have really shown. Despite knowing how fattening this meal was, Alice couldn't help but have more. It was too good to put her fork down. As she chewed a bite she was already stabbing at another.

As she finished her third dish, Alice noticed her plain white tank had started to ride up as her belly filled with all this food. The shirt had been struggling to keep up with the hungry girl’s excess calories over the last 24 hours, but at this point it seemed like the war was over. The tank was still somewhat new, and was a necessary purchase at the time, but since Alice couldn’t keep her greedy mouth empty, it now joined the massive amount of garments that the burgeoning gal had outgrown. Alice’s round belly had gotten harder and harder to conceal, and pretty much any top could not cover the entire thing. Her poor tank though had started to reveal several inches of her round pale stomach, and with the amount of food in front of her it didn’t seem like it was going to stop riding up further anytime soon.

It was only a moment after Alice had finished her last stuffed shell that Diane was rushing to her side with the next course. "Alice, get ready. My gold ribbon short rib mac and cheese is fresh off the stove." The bustling brunette was carrying the large serving dish with both hands as she precariously approached the round teen.

"You mean it has gold in it?" Alice asked, confused. She had heard of edible gold before, gold leaf or something like that. Maybe gold ribbon was something similar.

Diane chuckled. "No silly." She placed the large bowl down, now within read of Alice so she could see inside. Handing the eager eater a large spoon, Alice took her first bite. "This won the gold ribbon at the county fair, and has been a hit ever since." Alice sure could tell why, this was delicious! But that didn't stop Diane from telling her all about her process. "I start with slow roasted short ribs. It just gets so smoky and melts in your mouth." Alice could attest, she barely had to chew, the tender meat just fell apart as she filled her mouth. "I also only use the highest quality cheese." The cheese did taste out of this world, and Alice could tell it was definitely not the generic stuff.

"And you also use a cow's worth of butter!" Maureen bursted out. That's when Alice realized why it was so creamy. The fatty butter just elevated the other flavors to take the dish over the top.

"Alright yes, there is a good amount of butter, but does it make it better?" Diane started to softly rub Alice's stomach, where all of her mac and cheese was headed. Alice attempted to nod, but was more concerned about keeping her mouth full. "I made this everyday leading up to the fair that year, making it just a little better each time. I always had to make big portions to make sure it would scale, so I got pretty good at making a lot of it at once, wouldn't you say?"

Alice was all consumed by this dish at this point, only hearing bits and pieces of any conversation happening around her. She felt like she couldn't shovel it into her mouth fast enough. It might have been the best thing she had ever eaten. The noodles were so soft and cheesy, which of course was her favorite. The short rib was so fatty and tender, and added a nice meaty and salty balance to all the cheese. And of course now Alice knew everything was smothered in rich creamy butter.

Alice would have been happy eating this forever, and with the size of the serving she had it felt like it would go on forever. She furiously spooned more and more into her mouth, the massive bowl seemingly barely emptying. Unlike the chili, Alice needed no break while tackling this course. She was able to go non stop to her heart's content with this one. Diane just continually rubbed the big girl's belly, giving pleasing commentary as Alice enjoyed her meal, bragging to all her friends about how much Alice liked her meal the best.

But like all good things, this course had to come to an end. Soon Alice had scraped the last cheesy elbow from the bowl, leaving nothing but cheese stains along the entire inner surface of the vessel. Alice felt proud but sad. She felt great for finishing such a tasty and large meal, but she would have loved if there was more. As she was able to have a moment of clarity now that she wasn't filling her mouth, she realized what she really wanted was to be away from this frenzy. That serving of mac and cheese would have easily fed several people, and greedy Alice ate the whole thing herself.
