I usually don’t but I might start.
A year ago I stopped buying eggs and butter after I was really really brave and got a blood test and the doctor told me my cholesterol was a bit high.
But the other day I thought I would treat my self so I put a pound of butter in my shopping cart. After walking around the store I figured I should put the butter back. There was a lady by the butter cooler and I figured if she saw me putting the butter back she might think I was poor and couldn’t afford the butter. So I said I better put this back because I’m getting fat.
She said ya that stuff will do it then when I was walking away she said – and by the way you’re not fat.
It felt pretty good so I think I’m going start making fishing for compliments part of my shopping routine.
Put some butter in my cart – put it back – tell people it is because I’m getting fat – then hope they give me a compliment. Cheers!
If someone suggested something like that to me – I would look at them sincerely and say – you’re probably right. Then I would pretend to go put my vegetables back – instead of the chips and cookies. Cheers!

When it came to butter I didn’t know the meaning of the word moderation. I kept my butter in the fridge and I would use a metal wire cheese slicer to slice off the butter and tile my slice of bread – it was probably an1/8 of a inch thick layer of butter. I also fried every thing with butter. I have really changed my eating habits in the last year. Cheers!
