I’m asking in AIBU for some perspective as I might be getting annoyed about this unnecessarily. As a disclaimer, I am fat and know I need to lose weight, it’s a work in progress!

I received some gifts recently as a thank you for some work I had done. This included flowers and some chocolate.

Some I put up to enjoy later in the year/take to a family gathering, and a couple of items that I like, I planned to eat.

I had already given some to family member (their fave chocolate) and had kept a second bar of the same chocolate out to enjoy myself. I had been enjoying a line of it each day.

when I got home the other day I noticed there was some missing and said family member told me they had had to eat it to save me from myself. Hmm

This really annoyed me.

I hadn’t been binging it and was looking forward to my little bit each day. I know they want me to lose weight (they mention it daily!) but as an adult in my mid 30s I am more than capable of making my own decisions.

Would this annoy you too?

Enjoying and savouring food sounds fairly healthy to me. Mindless bingeing is a problem; eating mindfully and taking pleasure from a small amount seems like a pretty healthy approach. Planning meals and snacks in advance is something my personal trainer always advises. I don't think there is anything particularly fetishistic or obsessive about intending to eat a chocolate bar in small increments every day. It could be part of a wider issue around food but there doesn't seem to be a reason to assume that from anything the OP had said.
