(Extremely petty) AIBU to think I got scammed out of my share of pie?

I'm on holiday visiting close family members, 4 adults in total including me, no kids. The family member whose house it is made a fruit pie for dessert, but I was already full- and I have a good appetite! Think starter, main, loads of cheese AND pudding for lunch AND dinner of every day we have been here (not complaining, it's absolutely delicious but it's quite a lot of food)

Anyway I have problems with binge eating (they don't know this and I suppose it's not really relevant anyway) so I'm trying to listen to my body without depriving myself. So seeing as I felt comfortably full I declined pudding and asked that my slice was saved for later, as I didn't want to miss out on the lovely homemade pie. Even delaying the pleasure due to the sensible reason of feeling too full was difficult and felt like a positive step.

There was plenty of pie to go round, and the other 3 ate about 60% of it. Later in the afternoon when I went to eat "my" slice of pie (not all of what was left, but a decent chunk) they came along and split the remaining pie into 4 equal pieces, so essentially they have had 2 slices and I've only had one!

I know I'm being unreasonable due to my food control issues, but AIBU to think it's a little unfair regardless? The pie was delicious and my slice unsatisfyingly small so now I have the rage Grin

This sounds like the kind of disagreement my kids have over leftovers....

Move on... it's just pie...

Agree that for future the ideal strategy is to slice my piece of pie and keep it separate. Thanks for the tip, some of you are clearly experienced in these matters Wink

SilageMarner I stand by what I said. I'm really hoping this post is light hearted but have a funny feeling it's not. What the op described as eating already was much more than enough. It's pure gluttony which is vile

You should have stuck it in the microwave for 30 seconds and lashed a load of vanilla icecream on your share, warm bulked up deliciousness

Big notice 'AgeingArtemis' Pie' placed on top of pie in fridge. Constant references to 'looking forward to my slice of pie in the fridge later'

All the hand wringing holier than though 'I only ever have half a slice of cucumber you greedy mare' brigade - Op wasn't asking for eating advice - she'd already made her decision to save her share for later. She's a grown up, she can make her own choices, she knows she's got a binge eating thing going on - so she controls herself and saves her share for later.

OP can get her eating sorted if she wants to - you lot will probably never learn to be kind or pleasant or have a sense of humour - have you thought about getting help for that ?
