Unsupportive Family Members??

My mother in law invited all of us to her house for Fathers Day. She knows my husband and I are trying to get healthy, and she asked us if there was anything special we had to eat. My husband said no, we can eat normal food just more fruits,vegtables, no fried stuff ect.... Anyway, when we get there dinner was deep fried pork chops, deep fried hamburger steak, hamburger helper, stuffing, pork and beans, and mashed potatoes with a stick of butter and a ton of salt. When I saw that I was a little disappointed because I knew had to eat it so I did seem rude, but i figured she didnt know what was healthy. So I figured one day blown.....not that big of a deal. Except that everyone was extremely rude. Making comments like I made my husband quit eating real food. When actually he has seen the change in me and wanted to join me. (He has lost 10 lbs in less than 2 weeks).

Also, we knew the only thing to drink would be a pitcher of sugar with a little tea added (thats what they like to drink doesn't bother me) so we brought a bottle each of diet green tea with citrus for ourselves. They were so mean about it, saying I was too good to eat/drink real food I had to have fancy stuff. I tried to explain that I dont consume sugar, but she wouldnt hear it. also when my husband asked her if she had any vegtables she said "well ya, I made potatoes"...lol.

This is a large family with every generation extremly overweight, they only eat meat, potatoes, cheese, bread, and corn....no joke, my husband can count the types of fruits vegtables he has tasted on one hand. So I expected alot of high calorie foods, but never the hatred. My familt is very proud and supportive of us so this just kind of took me by suprise. I didnt realize they would have such a problem with our success.

His aunt was worried about getting wrinkles, I told her to drinking water can help prevent them (at 27 my husband was getting crows feet, now that he drinks 8-10 glasses of water they are gone). She informed me that the doctor told her cousin to stop drinking water it was unhealthy. This was our conversation:
Her: The doctor told my cousin to stop drinking water because it was unhealthy so I dont drink it.
Me: Your body is make of mostly water, I think like 95%. Its mandatory for the body to function properly.
Her: Well he drank a gallon a day, and the doctor told him it was bad.
Me: well a gallon might be excessive (eventhough I drink that much working outside in the summer) It is reccomended 6-8 glasses a day.
Her: well thae doctor said not to drink it so I dont.
My Husband: So its healthier to drink sweet tea and sodas
Her: Well I drink diet sodas so its ok.:noway:

I am not joking, serious conversation.

Another thing that really bugs me is that I am 25 and they are really pissed that I havent had a baby. I told them I want to wait until I have a steady career and the finances to give a child a great life with all the perks, oppurtunities, and extras that I had. I dont feel like im ready to be responsible for someone elses life yet. They act like i'm just an old dried up bag of bones and all im good for is a broodmare. It is really eating at me, because I am 25, but I'm not ready. I am the youngest of my friends and the only one married. None of them have kids yet; are we getting to old? :frown:

I'm not sure the point of this other than I was a little hurt over their attitudes and wanted to vent to people who understand. I thought they would be happy for us and maybe we would even inspire them to change a few things in thier lives and be healther.

Is anyone else ruining their husbands life because you showed him that water was drinkable, fruits and veggies were not only edible but yummy, and because you forced him to loose 10 pounds recently, 30 since you have been married?

p.s please excuse my punctuation and spelling errors, its hard to write an essay on a phone.
