One reason why I always gain 15 lbs visiting home for Christmas

• Grandmother: Are you hungry?
• Me: Nah, I just had a sandwich
• -- An hour and a half later --
• Grandmother: Are you hungry? I know you're starving. I heated up some roast and mashed potatoes, plus made some potato soup and fresh cornbread, there's also rotel dip and chips if you want it...
• Me: But I'm not....
• Me thinking: Damnit, she went to all that trouble even though I said I wasn't hungry.. Well, I'll just be polite and have..
• Me: A bowl of soup, I guess. Thanks grandmother.
• -- After I have a bowl of soup and some cornbread AND some roast --
• Grandmother: Get you some more! There's plenty there for you! Get you another bowl of soup, you didn't even try the rotel dip, there's a whole pound cake too if you want some dessert, why don't you get you a slice?
• Me thinking: Are you kidding me? I wasn't even hungry to begin with! Then you guilted me into a bowl of soup and some other stuff I really didn't even want?!.... But you are my grandmother and I only see you every once in a while and this seems to make you so happy...
• Me: I guess I could eat a small slice of the pound cake
• -- 10 minutes later on the couch --
• Me thinking: UGH SO FULL How did she trick me again???
• -- 3 hours later --
• Grandmother: You hungry?
