Did You Get To Eat What You Were You Told What To Eat?

Did you get to eat what you wanted or were you told what to eat?

When I was growing up we had to eat what we were given and ALL of it. I can still remember sitting with a dinner plate for many hours. I used to try to hide food in my napkin. We had a lot of food wars. I was pretty stubborn and eventually when I got older I wore them down.

There were also a few times when we were given things and told it was something else to encourage us to try it....

    It was the same for me. I was an expert food smuggler and flusher/dog feeder. I would sit at the table for hours waiting for my chance to get rid of it.

    I think it did me more harm than good. That said, if I had been given access to the foods I wanted to eat, because of my cravings I would have been 300 pounds by age 12.
