Lack of family support

Hello :)

I'm new here, i signed up in dec 22!

I do not consider that i'm overweight, but i have some extra pounds that i want to lose. Since I have an italian background, you can imagine that my family eat a lot and when they see you are "not eating"(by not eating, i mean not over eating), they get really judgemental. I just don't know what to do to make them happy and make myself happy at the same time.

I just want to know if any of you have experiences or advices for lack of family support :/

Thanks! :))

    welcome dont let them derail you. there is a lot of good support around here just be willing to listen and be open.
  • Why not find a healthy recipe and offer to make it for dinner? Shoe them new foods you will incorporate into your new lifestyle. Be firm and polite when they offer you seconds/thirds. If all else fails, keep your foods separate. I come from a similar background. Eventually they'll adjust to your new goals. If not, you can find support elsewhere!
