Realdeal. I empathize with you.. as I said in another post, I binged on mussels, but still am in ketosis (traces though).
I'll try not to postpone eating anymore... whoops. I'll take a break now to eat, it's 14:30, 30 mins late for my 1400 meal.

As for your girl friend.. it's simply because you're her best friend. She obviously has less trust in what you say than what others say.. perhaps you're the complimentary type and if so, she won't believe it.. when others, strangers, give compliments it must be true.
Don't take it personal. For me it's a bit similar, but then the other way round.. when my brother says I have a fat butt I don't believe him as he's a bit more critical than others.. however, most others don't criticize just give compliments.. as a friend you should do both.

Fietser, now taking her psychological hat off.
