It's bcuz DH thinks his job is to monitor me and I don't want to be questioned " are u sure u should be eating that? " I keep forgetting that I'm all grown up now and if I want a darned square of chocolate once in a blue moon, it's really my bizniz and no one elses.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 My mom hid candy. So? I wanted potatoes. But only with meals. I don't know if *I* never wanted snacks or I was convinced they were evil. In any case, I never missed 'em. I hid food from my kids to save for treats--for them. But not hoarding. I hoard other stuff. Socks, for example. LOL! Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I don't think we had the $$$ for 2 per week. But I know I called raisins " candy " to make it more fun. They SAVORED raisins. Of course, I can't eat them today because they ARE candy. LOL! Bur back in the 70's, I just was trying so hard not to let them develop a sweet tooth. Which is odd since I didn't have one myself. My mother hated raisins. So did I. But I wanted my kids to think they were special. And so they do. And one made it his personal campaign one summer to conquer my food dislikes. He was 15. He got me to like broc, raisins & pineapple. He did not succeed with cauliflower or coconut. Great, raisins & pineapple are high in sugar. Broc is high in oxalates AND as much as I love it, it doesn't totally agree with my pouch. Little brat. Got me hooked on stuff I can't have. LOL! Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I doubt it. I would compare it to a child who knows he/she is doing something wrong (defined as not approved by his parents or other authorities he respects)-then conceals his/her actions and proceeds anyway. We may all be children in this respect. Maybe if we redefine WRONG. How about if we blatantly give ourselves permission to eat that one square of chocolate, then move on. It sure helps to feed that craving monster just a taste so it doesn't loom ever powerful to get us to eat the whole bar. Once we give ourselves permission, it is no longer wrong-or taboo. Then, concentrate on moderation. Does any of this make sense to anyone out there?? It is 5:30AM-usually my best time for mental activity!
