My girlfriend had said she decided to go on a diet, but when I went into the kitchen in the morning, I found a bag of chips hidden on the counter. She had eaten all of it at night and didnât even tell me. Iâm trying not to dwell on things like this, yet I canât help but wonder, âwhy did she hide it?â What do you think this reaction is about? Is she feeling bad about herself?

8I donât get why you want to cause a scene just because someone had chips in the middle of the night. Just forget it, come on 
I had the same situation. My girlfriend secretly ate some cake during a sweet craving. Then we sat down and talked, and it turned out she was hiding it because she was mad at herself. I think you should ask her about it without making her feel that way 
Are you living in the same house already? In such a case, why would they hide what they ate at night otherwise?
@cokdaseyapma yes, we are in the same house. Itâs not the first time actually, there have been a few other instances of hiding like this.
@uykuarasi I donât think the situation is that simple. There may also be a problem related to habits; saying we will diet and secretly snacking could be a sign of impulse control issues.
Itâs normal to have these kinds of âslipsâ while dieting, but whatâs important is to conceal them. This might stem from feelings of guilt, which can create issues in terms of sustainability. Transitioning to a nutrition plan together could be a solution.
Itâs normal to have this as an issue, but donât go getting into a mood or anything like that. Blowing up small things like this can ruin the overall vibe of the relationship.
after all, the diet was his own request. I think you shouldnât dwell on it so much; he must already regret it on his own.
