"Oh, God... Ugh..." Lauren moaned, both hands grasping her stomach as pain shot through her mid-section. Her white tank top stuck to her clammy body, and her eyes were wide open with discomfort. Lauren knew she shouldn't eat in the middle of the night, but right now, she could think of nothing else. "Fuck it." She said quietly, before shakily standing up. The pain in her stomach was just too much. "I'll eat something light and go back to- Ughh!" Mid-sentence, a shooting pain of hunger had run through her body, overriding any idea of modest helpings. Quickly walking to the kitchen, Lauren desperately threw open the refrigerator door, the cold air causing her nipples to harden through her tank top- not that she cared, all Lauren could think about was eating.
Rummaging through the shelves, Lauren began pulling out everything she constantly saw, but almost never ate, due to her diet- Lunch meats, some cooked bacon, cheeses, mayo, butter. Grabbing a freshly opened loaf of bread, Lauren went to work after jamming a handful of ham into her mouth. Slathering one slice of bread with mayo and the other with butter, Lauren loaded the sandwich up with ham, bacon, turkey, and two slices of Monterey Jack cheese. The end result looked almost comical, the sandwich being so thick that Lauren could barely manage to get her mouth around it. However, she could, and she did, taking such a large bite that her mouth bulged with the amount of food inside it. Chewing greedily, Lauren's eyes scanned the kitchen for other foods, which, on any normal day, would have been a ridiculous notion, especially with a large sandwich already in her hands.
Taking another bite of her monstrous creation, Lauren's eyes locked on a clear plastic container: freshly baked cookies from the grocery store, one of the last things her parents had purchased before they left for their trip. Holding the nearly half finished sandwich in one hand, Lauren grabbed the container, noisily opening the lid before clumsily grabbing a cookie and jamming it into her still half full mouth, the sweet taste of the cookie mixing pleasantly with the saltiness of her unhealthy sandwich. As more and more of the sandwich made it's way into her stomach, less and less of the cookies remained in the container, until Lauren had finished both. As Lauren began to feel "normal" again, she took in the disaster area of the kitchen- crumbs and flecks of mayo littered the counter, and now she had an empty tin of cookies to explain to her siblings! Sweeping the mess off the counter with her hand into the empty plastic container, Lauren stealthily opened the door to the garage, chucking the container in the bigger trash can there, in hopes that Megan and Justin wouldn't notice.
Not even questioning the fact that she had just eaten easily 2000 calories in unhealthy foods, Lauren made her way back to bed, one hand happily rubbing her now swollen stomach. As she settled back into bed, a small belch made it's way past her lips, before Lauren blissfully fell asleep, glad that the hunger pains she had experienced had disappeared.
