After a particularly busy morning, playgroup and then swimming, I went to the supermarket and decided to treat DS2 and myself to a cafe lunch. I got a sausage roll and a piece of carrot cake for us to share, as we were starving and we've had lots of healthy meals this week, so I thought sod it.
I'm happily balancing my tray in the queue to pay and an older man proceeds to look down his nose at me, peruse my tray and tell me that there is a lot of calories in said food items. 'It's ok' I reply, 'Just a treat. We've done loads of exercise this week.' The man proceeds to then tut and mumble something to his wife. I laughed it off at the time, but it's been bugging me all afternoon. Why do strangers feel they have the right to comment on my choice of food? They don't know how much exercise my family do (quite alot btw), or what our diet is like. I'd helped him with putting hot water in his bloody teapot too!
