As I walked to my table at that lovely Italian restaurant I could almost read people’s minds “Aww, poor thing, she’s by herself”. It was the river walk in San Antonio on a random Tuesday night. I had been working all day and finally had some “me” time… So as they thought “Poor thing”… I thought “Lord, please don’t let me see anyone I know” lol. Life of an introvert!
I sat at my table and ordered the Lobster and roasted pepper bisque. I got lost in thought and before I knew it, my soup was ready. I took the first taste, and I was overwhelmed with excitement. It was so awesome! I was having such an experience with my little bowl of soup when I suddenly thought… How can something give me this much joy yet have the potential to kill hubby???
See, hubby is allergic to shell fish. When we were dating, I thought dude was faking it until his throat closed up and he couldn’t breathe after he unknowingly ate some. Scared the crap out of me! Thank Jesus we got through it. Now hubby knows he can’t eat that stuff, and somehow he has convinced himself that it is disgusting and smells funny. Pshh, if only he knew 😉
So I thought how foolish would it be, if he saw me enjoying this lobster bisque and decided he wanted it? What if he decided that if I could have it, so could he? Ridiculous right? Well we make such choices every day. Like when you see that friend that wakes up at 4am every morning to work out, or that extremely slim person that eats sooo much but never gains a pound, and that mum of 3 that enjoys her bowl of ice cream every night but has extremely flat stomach and we decide that if they can so can we… Uhh, not so smart.
