"You will have plenty of time to eat when you have completed your work" . It was about the middle of boot camp when our company had mess cooking duties, serving the food and cleaning up. We were very busy and couldn't grab any food if we wanted to.
Desert was chocolate pie, too tempting for me to pass up. I managed to sneak a piece, and then another. In a few minutes I had consumed an entire pie. Lucky for me because the company commander decided there wasn't time for us to eat before going back on duty.
I smiled to myself; I wasn't hungry. Later as we marched, ran and did calisthenics, I felt very ill. Too much pie. For years after this I could not eat chocolate pie.
