What do the other people in your house do that irks you when it comes to food? My step dad for a while would buy sweets to try and tempt me but I told him one day sweets dont bother me. If it was chips or stuff like that then yea I might be tempted.
But my mother gets on my nerves she always ask oh do you have french fries to make with that or shell nit pick on junk food before and after dinner is done...They put a roof over mine and my kids heads and they take care of the bills and other house hold items but I buy about 95% of the foods and I cook and feed them dinner about 98% of the time. So I feel as if I want to eat veggies and brown rice or quinoa for dinner then I am going to. I am not going to go out of my way to cook another product just because she wants it. I already have a picky eater where I got to make an extra side or something like that

I love my lady too death, and have no problem with her baking, it is up to me to control how much I eat of it.
But what irks me about her is how fast she eats.
It seems sometimes like if she is not breathing between bites, or even bothering to chew sometimes.
I pointed out to her all the studies that some of the weight problems we as a nation have is because of how we eat.
I tell her to make sure to chew before swallowing, I tell her to breathe between bites, and I even try to get her to talk to me when she is eating so that way she is not just scooping food the entire time straight to her mouth.
But that is it.0 -
I think that correlates with "mindless eating" they say people who watch tv, read, sit in front of the computer ect do mindless eating and wind up not realizing that they are full and then go back for 2nds. My mothers like that shell eat really fast too...Same with my oldest so I keep on trying to explain to her to eat more slowly then youll feel fuller more quickly. But shes 10 and growing like a weed so I let it slide a little...But yea I noticed that I even slowed down my eating and drinking more water in between bites to feel fuller more and it seems to be working0
