Leave My Food ALONE!

I cannot eat much. My stomach is the size of a Sharpie. I have to prioritize my intake. So, dammit, when I find a yummy AND nutritionally balanced AND sleeve friendly meal.... Leave my food ALONE!!!! Don't eat my leftovers. Let me enjoy it.

Why is it what I'm eating and/or rationing out is the most appetizing thing in a 50 mile radius to my family?!?!

And then I feel selfish and guilty for getting so annoyed. Like I'm being the greedy food ogre who never wanted to share?

Girl, I'm ready to take down my hubs & 5yr old.....they won't stop! :blink:

My daughter and I go through this all the time.

Its not like I dont buy her her taquitos or spicy noodles, etc... No I come home to find my cheese, ham, pudding and fudge bars all gone! Its so frustrating.

We finally had a talk and I explained it was possible to starve me that way (she is 15).

I wasnt going to eat her snacks and goodies so she needed to be more mindful....

Now if only it worked :-)

I've felt so greedy and guilty for getting frustrated!

I woke up this morning came down stairs to find protein cookies wrappers in the living room!!!

Well there is only one person that stays up later than me in this house..It's a 17 year old girl child that I'm patiently waiting for to come down the stairs so I can pounce!!

Uh Oh... be gentile Laura...

Pounce!

Be afraid.....be very, very afraid.....

Haha! You know what she said!??

"Ok, whatever, they aren't even that good"

Now she's dissing my only joy? I have successfully convinced myself these things are better than Nestle toll house chocolate chip cookies!!!

She comes down in the middle of the night FINDS (because they were in my secret cupboard) my Cookies. Eats them LEAVES A MESS. Then has the nerve to talk crap about them!

Oh, but then she tells me that my dill pickle Protein Krinkles where good though??

what the????

Sing it, sister!

I work from home so I keep all my Protein bars, nuts, Jerky, etc. in my office. My cold foods are in the bottom drawer of the fridge and everyone knows no touchy. It's getting better now that I am farther out and can find more things to eat.

My two teens know they can have anything they want, they just can't have the LAST one. My husband, on the other hand, deserves a regular b***h slapping.

Haha! You know what she said!??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh my, I can TOTALLY relate!! My 18 yr old daughter eats ALL my stuff!! I've taken to labeling it "Eat this & I will cut you", LOL! It doesn't hurt that I can yell REALLY loud, and I have no shame even though its about food!

Teenagers!!

Glad I'm not alone on this! Thanks guys!! :D

My husband and I each have our own drawer in the fridge. He puts all of his meat in his since I'm a vegetarian and I put the food I don't want to share in mine. Everything else is fair game. :)

Nice. Cost is beyond my budget though. Cheaper to just take out the teen. :-)
