    Ugggh. Labor Day weekend. Which means overweight and unhealthy relatives shoving food at me. Even side dishes like corn or green beans, they have to add practically a whole stick of butter while cooking. Anyone else deal with this with your family?

    @bstamps12---Definitely....they're always offering and I don't have great self control. I'm going on vacation with my family too so many offerings will be had. Good luck!
