22 year old lives at home but complains about the cooking.
Get a job and buy your own groceries, move the **** out, or STFU.
Because you can be **** certain I would not tolerate my child being so ******* ungrateful.0 -

This must be troll. Because, really, all day for two pieces of fish? Is this oven on 30ºC?0 -

I feel bad for your mother. She has such an ungrateful child who is rude and swears worse than a sailor.
A grateful child would have said to her mother, "Mom, thanks so much for lunch/dinner! Next time, maybe instead of chips we can use the frozen veggies in the freezer!" and then eat the food her mother cooked for her without complaint.
Even if you had eaten the nuggets and fries, it's doubtful it would offset your deficit sooooo much. You'd log it, enjoy it and move on. Because that's what adults do.0 -

You need to understand that life isn't always sunshine and monkeys dancing with toothbrushes. You're not always going to hear what you'd like to hear.

BUSTED!
That was BEFORE TODAY. TODAY I started my health kick. How could a health kick include crisps etc? Obviously it was started today. Use your brain.
After your fried fish, soda and doritos?
I feel like you cannot possibly be a real person.
I strongly concur. Otherwise we might as well leave the planet to the cockroaches now.
Thanks for bullying me. Makes me feel even better about myself. No wonder I used to self harm.
Ah. Papa Roach as well?

Somebody needs a time-out until she can get herself back under control! You are a grown *kitten* woman. Act like it. Throwing tantrums is for children. Either suck it buttercup or fix it for yourself.0

So much awesome in this post. Seriously better than FB.
It sounds like OP is regretting how she's used some of her calories today (we've probably all been there), and is directing this frustration towards her mom. My husband's been in that spot before too, with his suggestions of our favorite restaurant after I'd already eaten most of my daily calories-darn him and his thoughtfulness grrr. But, shockingly I did not explode or gain 100 pounds after veering away from my plan, but instead the unexpected detour gave me some good food and family time. I just made sure I was back on top of things afterwards.
OP-take a deep breath, realize this is one day, and in the scheme of things doesn't matter a whole lot. If you want to start changing how you eat, plan ahead a bit more and then make this plan known to others in your household who also may be doing some of the cooking.0 -

And incase anyone has forgotten we are ALL sinners and are nOT PERFECT. Do NOT think you all are and you are all so free to condemn someone. She was just venting. Have you ever vented? this is sup to be aplace where people can reach out from frustrations etc. I think she has handled the criticism really well, and judgement. You all who condemned her should look in the mirror and apologize to her. I dont know her but this was cruel. Honey, we do NOT know all of your circumstances, and thats fine. I do not judge. Just try to plan ahead if you can, and proud of you for recognizing that you want to eat healthy. Peace to you and good luck. Food is not Easy. We all have to eat to survive and sometimes we want to grab anything. Sending you love and peace.
But it's completely OK for YOU to judge US, not knowing OUR stories, and chew US out? Do you even see your own hypocrisy?

This. I am grateful when my mom brings me food (I live on my own). Sometimes it's just because she made too much for her and my father, or she'll be talking about what she's cooking for dinner while on the phone and I say it sounds good. I just plan the rest of my day around it. She also knows that I have been tracking my food for almost a year (not a few hours as the OP) so will tell me exactly what goes into the dish. Granted she doesn't weigh the ingredients, but I appreciate the effort she makes. Regardless- mom brings food, the correct response is thank you, end of story.0 -

Move out. Then you don't live with them anymore and can make your own choices.
I'm still recovering from agoraphobia. I have made many achievements, but unfortunately this is not an option currently.
Sounds like you should just appreciate that your family allows you to live there and eat the food they buy. I suffer from agoraphobia and at some point in life you have to do thing that cause you severe anxiety.
Do you know my life story? No. Do you know what I do most days? Go out. I have a social life. I have friends. I have pushed myself many a time and succeeded. As a fellow agoraphobic, you should know that you can't just move out like that. My friend who is a retired child psychologist knows that you have to take it in small steps. You cannot walk before you run. If you do, you'll eventually just go backwards. Anyway this is MAJORLY OFF TOPIC.
I'm sure it's a good 'small step' for you to go to the grocery store. I have severe anxiety and major depressive disorder, and was in an abusive relationship that once I got out of (still sometimes have problems with) I was in a state where I even had trouble recognising the need to change once I wet myself...outside...in public. And now I am the carer and spend my days looking after my dad. Did I get there whining like a child? No. Do you know what I did most days to get past it? I got the hell up and wrote a list of all the things I thought a person should be able to do and then every day I did at least one of them - I shopped some days, some days I just changed my socks... I now cook for the household every day using the money I claimed from benefit, recognising I was in no state to work. I later began visiting my dad daily because I realized he was struggling to do the things I had needed help with and now I get paid for that.
Go to a shop and stop being rude to your mother. You can ask her to go with you if it's too hard to face the store alone, and most stores are open late - they tend to be mostly empty after about 8pm.
Sorry for the image I just feel she needs a reality check guys.
What an inspiring story!
I blooming hope she sees it that way! Since being on mfp I've started to think I should write a book "When Angela decided to get some balls and also went to Tesco by herself that time."0 -

Is "health kick" food because she cooked it over a light bulb instead of frying it for a second time.0 -
I remember being 19, living at home, and wanting to lose weight. My mom still cooked dinners but I was on my own for breakfast and lunch. I ate what my mom made, just not as much as I used to. I never demanded for her to cook a certain way, never demanded that she not make certain things and never even thought about getting snotty with her about dinner. I still managed to lose 50 pounds in a year.
You really need to grow up and realize that the earth and your family doesn't revolve around you.

Do you have a job? You didn't mention that in your rant, or are you in school? And the word is "unhealthy". I'd like to meet your mom, she sounds a like a genuine sweet lady who deserves a little RESPECT. You should look up the definition of the word and stop being a spoiled, selfish, brat.0 -

For future reference do not use a retired professional to prove a point. It doesn't help your case at all.

Op: I can sympathize..... Kinda. But there is a different way to handle it.
Due to unforeseen circumstances my husband and I lost our apartment and had to move back in with my in laws. The normal diet around here consists of chips, popcorn, chicken fried steak, fried anything really. And my father in law is a grumpy old cowboy set in his ways and unwilling to change his eating habits. Everyone here is pretty overweight and fine being that way (except my husband. He has that crazy skinny gene and just doesn't gain weight). I am the only one here trying to be healthier, and I am making do with what we have here. Every so often my father in law, who knows my fitness goals, makes everyone a huge, delicious, calorie filled breakfast. It takes up almost half my daily calories. But you know what? He does it out of love. It's one of his ways of showing he cares, and you best believe I eat every bite. I may end up taking a long walk afterwards and eating a bag of frozen veggies for lunch, but it's worth it. He took the time and effort to do something nice, so I'm going to appreciate it. Find a way to make it fit, it's always possible. Heck, we took our kids to chuck e cheese yesterday. I ate for pieces of pizza and some chocolate and was still under my calorie goals, plus completely full. Just because you want to improve your body, it doesn't mean you have to be on a health kick. As many others have said, you can lose weight while eating chicken nuggets.0 -

I totally sympathise with you. I also suffer from angoraphobia. If I see one of these I immediately turn into an obnoxious spoiled brat and resort to profanity to get my point accross as well!!

736 calories for snacks and drinks. That could "alone" make for a decent serving of nuggets and fries. Add some veg and Yummy happy tummy.
You can do this. Just rethink some choices your making throughout the day.
