So my husband and I saw Nathan’s annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest televised on ESPN.  Have you ever gone to an all-you-can-eat buffet and eaten so much you were in pain and vowed never to return?  Well, let me tell you, watching this hot dog eating contest was all pain and the LAST thing I wanted to do was eat afterwards. It is absolutely gut wrenching to watch grown men and women (of all sizes) stuff their faces with north of 50 hot dog wieners (and buns) in under 10 minutes. The winer was Joey Chestnut —he ate a total 64 hotdogs during the competition.  Can you imagine this?

Anyhow, I am now convinced that watching a video and/or pictures of this contest before a meal, will inspire anyone to stop overindulge (if eat at all!).  Move over Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers—if you’re looking for a cheap way to shut your evil twin from sabotaging your diets, then look up eating contests through the International Federation of Competitive Eating.  You’ll scare hunger right out of your stomach.
