Greedy or is my sister right?

SweetMaryJesus · 30/04/2009 12:14

I bought myself a foot long granary french bread thing from Asda yesterday ... freshly baked ... lovely!

Anyway I commented to my sister that it would last me for 3 meals ... she raised an eyebrow and said she would eat the entire thing in one sitting. She then suggested that I'm starving myself to lose weight!

I'm not, I just think its greedy to eat a foot long bread stick! I've just used 1/3 of it to make a salmon and salad sandwich and it was just right ... anymore and I would have felt bloated.

AIBU to think its greedy to eat an entire stick in one go?

Oh I am soo tempted to go to subway now you horrible lot. I have not had a meatball sub for ages - but I hate subway

I don't think it's greedy. It all depends on your appetite. I couldn't manage it but I know people who could.

i know all things and troubles are relative - but really - how much of a shit should a person give about this exactly?

usually something that seems to be to be petty - i click off and move on...but seriously....

YABU YABU YABU!

Obsessive or what? And how nasty to call your sister greedy?

SarahL2 · 30/04/2009 13:02

MillyR are you talking about the special low fat subs at Subway?

Because there is no way in hell that even a 6 inch Steak and Cheese (my favourite and yes, I can if pushed eat a whole footlong ) could be below anyone's calorie limit!

If it is, I need the details of that diet - immediately

Sarah

I have the veggie patty, which is 414 calories, but the veggie delite is 203. It is very difficult not to buy the cookies while I'm in there though.

Mmm, toffee poppet things! You have good breakfast shiney!

bamboostalks · 30/04/2009 13:41

Isn't it stale after the first day though?

ruddynorah · 30/04/2009 13:44

it needs eating asap or you lose the gorgeous freshness. so your sister is right to woof down in one.

benfmsmum · 30/04/2009 13:46

I wouldn't eat any of it at all - mind you that's cos I'm intollerant to wheat!!!

They smell so good freshly baked though.......

I do think it funny to read the number of wicked/greedy/slatternly sister threads on here recently!

fwiw, I'm partway between you two- half a foot would be fine, a whole one too much, a third just not enough.

OrmIrian · 30/04/2009 13:48

Yes duchesse. I don't have a sister. Shall I start a thread about sisters that simply don't care, she never gets in touch, she never sends cards, she never rings ...

Ormirian- YANBU, she's an uncaring bitch! < gavel >

Confuzzeled · 30/04/2009 14:10

Perhaps your my sister and the issue is not about the breadstick but the fact your too frigging skinny.

LadyAga · 30/04/2009 14:19
