Eating is such a social activity. And it's amazing how fast the best intentions can go to pot in a group setting. How many times in your life have you asked for a little piece of cake only to be served with a slab big enough to feed a family of four for a day? And once it's in your face, what are the chances you're not going to eat it all?

Big Scary Man and I are in a constant dance over food. He swears I dodn't eat enough despite plenty of evidence around my middle that I eat too much. Trying to be polite, we each insist the other eat the last bite. I think he drowns toast in butter and jam, he thinks I use so little why bother? When we spend all day together I ususally wind up losing many of these interactions - and eating an extra couple hundred calories to boot. Ugh!
