So we went to visit with my boyfriend’s parents yesterday. His birthday was this week so they offered to make us dinner. I had no delusions that this was going to be a clean eating experience but I certainly ate more than I bargained for. As soon as she came in the door his mom put a brownie in my hand. Of course I know it is my responsibility to refuse such offers with tact and grace, but it’s so much easier just to eat the damn thing then to spend the next few minutes going back and forth on me being such a little thing and how a few sweets won’t hurt me. We had chips and salsa for an appetizer (while watching Ronnie Coleman on Youtube mind you) and I ate plenty of that, so I only had one helping of everything for dinner, and you would have thought I slapped them in the face. My remarks about how full I was were poo pooed. We did manage to take a walk with his dad around the block following dinner but as soon as we returned we were met with cake and ice cream. A week’s worth of dieting down the drain. So what do I do? I can’t just not go over there (believe me, I’ve tried). How do I refuse cheats without looking like the stuck-up girlfriend?
