Chubby Checker Day

What is a chubby checker day? Let me explain. I got the term chubby checker from a movie by the name of "Fatso" The main character, played by Dom Deluise, is fat and is trying to loose weight. He joins a weight lose group and is very optimistic that this will finally be the time when he is going to loose weight once and for all. He does great to a point. One night, after watching his brother eat a "regular" meal while eating his diet prescribed meal, he begins to waver. He goes to bed and decides to watch a little TV. It turns out that every channel he chooses to watch just so happens to be showing food or people eating food. He can no longer contain himself. He jumps out of bed and is planning to break his diet. After a tussle with his brother he calls his weight lose support group. The support group has created a support mechanism to help members in times of weakness. They have a couple of members (called chubby checkers) that are on call to check on fellow members when they have a moment of weakness. The 2 support members arrive at Dominic's house and commence the counseling session. They listen to Dom spill his guts and provide understanding. Dom and the chubby checkers begin talking about food. It starts out innocently and the conversation builds as they continue talking about the types of food they like. They get so immersed and obsessed with the food conversation that they become possessed and tear down the chained cabinets and proceed to cook, eat and eat and eat and eat. So the chubby checkers and Dom forget all about the diet program and have a feastarama galore. So, now when I decided to have a big-time eat o rama, I call it having a chubby checker day.
