I don’t think anyone really understands how enjoyable a blueberry bagel with cream cheese can be until they have not been able to eat one for a long time.

I have a serious habit of not eating so others can eat, even when there is no danger of running out too soon. It’s almost like an inborn trait. I continuously save things for others… like cream cheese. I save that for my husband. I rarely ever eat anything with cream cheese. I settle for the “cant believe this is not butter knock-off” in the bottom of the fridge. I won’t even eat bagels if I think we might run out soon… We get to the last bag and I leave them for my husband.

I do the same thing with turkey dogs, milk, chicken nuggets, and cereal (to name a few). Unless it is something I bought specifically for myself that no one else can have, I will save it for the others in my household. I dare call it food non-compulsive disorder… I always eat out of calculated risk of not having for others.

Am I the only one?
