Food as gift

So today I've found out that I passed this year with an A and that my external exams are all As. What I am anxious about is that when we celebrate such things at home, my brother loves to splurge(and lucky guy takes after my father who is light as a paper but eats for ten people) and buy me giro or a sandwich(there is a local restaurant nearby who just makes the best sandwiches in existence. Also very expensive I must note) and I know he works hard to earn his money so I don't know if I should reject the gift. It would be good within my calories but I don't feel as brave as to do that(I haven't had something like a sandwich since before I went in-patient for my ED).

    Show your brother this post. I am sure he might take back the gift since it is a bad gift I guess for you.

    I think you should accept the gift. Maybe you could eat half with your brother and save the rest for later. It's okay to enjoy food on a special occassion.

    How about an alternate celebration? Maybe a movie, bowling, hiking, etc. If you can find something from your childhood that you both enjoyed together, that might be a wonderful way to celebrate. For example, my brother loved fishing with my dad, so I might suggest going fishing to celebrate something for him.

    You shouldn't be worried about having bad food once in a while, it's a treat for you since you did well in your exams.
    I'm on a diet, but today's my friend's birthday so I'll be eating some cake, and I won't even feel bad about it lol
    Anyway, congrats on passing your exams! :D

    There's no such thing as 'bad food' just people who eat badly.

    Very true, I think everything is ok, and long as it's in moderation.
    I just meant food that's fatty, or carby.
