I've done well on my goal to not overeat for three weeks now. I can leave food on my plate, and save food for later, but I'm still selfish with my food. Today I needed to use up a potato and an onion, so I made hashbrowns with both. I only ate half of mine and saved the other half on my plate while I visited with my husband. He reached over and snitched a cube of my potato. One cube. And I snarled at him, "HEY! That's mine!"
Heaven forbid if I have one cube, one morsel, less at my next meal! Sheesh.
Will food always have such a hold on me?
I know what you mean. I don't know if it's food having a hold, or just the sense of our space/privacy being invaded.
ReplyDeleteAt least you made your own hashbrowns! A.cut up apples for our breakfast this morning, and then put mine in lemon water when I didn't want to eat them all right then. I nibbled on them later in the morning, and then hollered at him when I heard him crunching one! (I told him if he ate with better manners he wouldn't have gotten caught!)
Lynn... I laughed out loud when I read "...if he ate with better manners he woldn't have gotten caught." I shared that story with my husband.
ReplyDeleteBy the way...I shared a bite from a delicious meal today and he said that made up for snarling at him over the cube of potato. :)
