Hiding the evidence
A member of a diet club bemoaned her lack of will-power. She had tried all the weightloss products on the market and still hadn’t lost any weight. Here was one of the stories she told her friends:
She’d made her family’s favourite cake over the weekend, she explained, and they’d eaten half of it. The next day, however, the uneaten half beckoned. She cut herself a slice. Then another, and another. By the time she’d polished off the cake, she knew her husband would be disappointed.
“What did he say when he found out?” one club member asked.
“He never found out,” she said. “I made another cake and ate half.”
