To have ran upstairs in case I smelt of burger

Just now

Treated myself to a Big tasty meal on the way home from work. Happily driving along in the dark and rain, listening to 90’s tunes 🤣
Dropped the bag evidence in the big bin round the corner from my house, getting soaked in the process, but all worth it.
Had to do the quick check of the car and car seat for any random bits-there was shredded lettuce-got rid.
Came in the house, coat off and Ddog smelling my hands, so I ran upstairs saying to Dh and Dd that I was tired 😂

In bed feeling satisfied, but wondering if I smell of burger

There should be separate streams to MN threads, one for the smug, the miserable, and those with no sense of of humour, and another for the rest of us.

💯!

I know 😂 surely they must be taking the piss, why on earth would this make you cross

No one is angry or cross as you are a secret eater, honestly, 😂 you can hide in your car and binge the whole of the McDonald’s menu and no one will be cross, well none of us, your family may have different opinions it seems,

lol honestly if not sitting in my car eating McDonald’s alone, hiding rhe rubbish in a far away bin and running upstairs as I’m scared my family will smell the food on me, makes me miserable smug or humourless then I shall take it,

but seriously trying to spin secret eating into some fun cool activity is not going to fly, it’s very clear there is an underlying issue that causes this behaviour, and I personally think it’s related to body weight,

That is some leap you’ve made there.

Slightly dramatic. You could have just thrown away the evidence and washed your hands.

Size 10, I also do this sometimes!

Honestly we can push healthy eating at home and still long go a sneaking McD on the way home!

Normal every day 50 something mother of 3

Ita nothing to do with weight and everything to do with being alone, eating alone, not being responsible for 10 minutes!

Sorry but this is ridiculous.

Really amateurish @Whydoesitalwaysrainonmeeeee

You need a good strong throat sweet and a nice handcream. Hides all traces. 🫡

But then you would ruin the burger aftertaste…
