Hypocritical Critics...

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone. So my parents comment on how I shouldn't eat that and how it makes me fat, and that I should eat less, etc etc. But THEN when I'm not very hungry they freak out and ask why I'm not eating much, or why I'm not having a second helping. Why are they doing this?? And when I ran that mile yesterday and told them about it, they didn't think anything of it, clearly expressing how very unimpressed they were. I guess it's just very irritating getting mixed messages like that x.x Also, just a few minutes ago I had dinner, and I only had one helping at first, but I was still hungry so I took two, and my dad commented on how he was getting worried that I didn't like it because I only ate one. Ugh.

    I have a good one for you.
    My sister in law and I were having a special treat dinner one day. Subs from this great.place near my house. Since it was a cheat day we decided to have a 2L of coke. Well we both ended up drinking about a 1/2 glass and the rest just sat until it went flat. So my mom brings over a case of coke. When my sister in law opens one my mom says ' you guys don't need it'. I asked her who she bought it for then since she is a diabetic and cant drink it...and she says she bought it for us because our 2 liter was flat. Welcome to Crazytown.
