Not-so-supportive families

LucyLover19

I would love to hear that I'm not alone on this odd situation. My mom has always shown her love through food- she's the reason I'm a decent chef. Just when ever she gets wind of me dieting she starts to load up her kitchen with cake, ice cream, cookies, soda, candy, frozen fried food, and every snack under the sun except for humus. At 5'8" and 142 I know I'm not that heavy. I just want to get back down to the size I was comfortable with last summer and my mom is always so rude about it. I'm trying to keep my efforts hidden at the moment.

Has anyone been through a similar situation with a friend or family member?

Yes definitely! my mom is from the south and all her cooking is so unhealthy and I never realized it growing up but now that I am trying to be healthy I realize it so much more. Plus when I try to deny food from her she gets mad at me and then says I don't need to lose weight. its not very supportive and can be frustrating. but in the end I know I have to do what makes me happy and not worry about hurting her feelings.
