Why Do I Do Things Like This?

[Tilly2]

We have just come back from town and I was persuaded to buy a Dickinson and Morris pork pie. When we got home Mr T made some tea and cut a couple of slices of pie for us both. He had thrown the wrapper away and wrapped the remaining pie in foil.

I sat down to eat mine and before I ate it, asked how many calories the piece of pie had. He didn't know , or care. I searched for the wrapper, read the blurb, calculated the number of calories, took the pastry off and ate the meat. The dogs had the pastry.

I swear I heard Mr T mutter, 'For goodness sake', under his breath.

Why do you do things like this Tilly2?
I bet you put more weight on stressing about what to eat. I bet he would have loved to see you scoff it all - you have actually missed out on enjoying the pork pie as it was meant to be eaten (a shame). Your OH really wanted one and probably wanted you to really enjoy it with him - enjoy some food for once and I think he is thinking of you. Its good to trick the brain sometimes and break out (ask any sports instructor)- you are still in control but I can understand Tilly2 - the pressure of watching what you eat dominates sometimes.

At the risk of sounding very v. unpopular - good on him for saying something - he is probably fed up with it. (dont hate me please)
I say "for goodness sake alot" under my breath..all the time. I want to scream at friends (please shut up about slimming world, weight watchers, the gym obcession etc) Eg - they say things like I'm two pounds over and size six - I'm really disappointed with myself and you're there listening and just had a great meal with them. Not alot of people will be honest about what its like listening to calorie watch, sins etc....its b.......d..y awful. I hate it only because the calorie discussion has yet again cropped up and I dont care and I couldn't care less if you have a fat or a thin ass and I dont want the details about how you need the discipline. It also makes me feel inadequate sometimes and failing but I'm OK but it does make me feel like this for a while after and I dont want this. Food is to be enjoyed (I hope) and seeing someone (a man) enjoy food is quite sexy - I think, so perhaps OH finds your sensuous side sexy ... I bet he thinks you're amazing (if it was chocolate cake what would you have done though? - deny yourself or put it all in the bin) Its such a good job the pie had a crust! Tilly x
