Difficult question about use of verb in clauses
Here is a complicated question:
If you have two main clauses separated by a conjuction like so:
I am quite tall and very fat.
What happens if you add a relative clause into the second main (?) cause like so:
I am quite tall and, although I haven't eaten for days, very fat.
OR
I am quite tall and, although I haven't eaten for days, am very fat.
OR
I am quite tall and, although I haven't eaten for days, I am very fat.
I'm not sure whether to write the verb a second time or just leave it out. Maybe it's optional. Can anyone help me?
