Chinese term or phrase: 我吃撑着啦
口语说法
sun jiexin
I'm stuffed! / I'm bursting!
Explanation:
I agree with the answers of Prof Projex and Lai An, but whenever I hear this phrase spoken, it sounds like an abrupt exclamation, not a carefully thought out sentence. For that reason, I think the shorter the English the better. However, context is always a factor in determining the ideal translation, and we don't know it here.
