Boundaries! Get out my damn plate!

You handled it well!

I tend to think the best of people and would have thought that she was trying to help, in her own, overstepping way.

I haven't told many people I'm having surgery other than immediate family and my very closest girlfriends. I want to avoid the looky-loos keeping their eye on my plate!! Luckily, I transitioned to working from home a few months ago, so there's no one here during the day to notice what I eat but the puppy.

But Puja had a good point. I have a dear friend who had a very severe heart attack a year ago, a type that is commonly referred to as a "widow maker". After his attack, he was in physical therapy for a while and completely revamped his diet. In an effort to support him, I would often go out of my way to make special low fat/low carb dishes for him when we had get-togethers that included food. He didn't always eat them and told me many times I didn't have to do so, but it made me feel like I was being supportive to at least provide the *option of him having food that was heart healthy.
