Yes, I definitely experienced that tension, although I can't think of any specific stories. I grew up in a family that loved and valued good food, and special occasions often had special meals at their heart. Yet, we were all judged if we ate what was considered too much. My mother loved making decadent desserts, but was disparaging if we ate more of them she thought we should. We were supposed to enjoy food heartily, yet somehow never cross some invisible line.
