Following on from the thread about parents, I'm not 19 (ahem) but am back living at home for various reasons. My family are all for losing weight, we need it. Anyhow, I've just finished my last vanilla cappuchino sachet, don't really need anymore, so no need to syn them. We're all supposed to be getting on the SW wagon on Monday, fruit and veg and food bought. My mother, who has put on lots of weight and it's giving her hip problems, has just arrived home with a couple of multipacks of crisps - because they were on special offer. I'm raging!!! If they're in the house, you'll be thinking about them and craving them - WHY?? WHY?? WHY??
She's miserable about her weight (as am I) and her friend has just lost 2 1/2 stone, she said she's disgusted that she can't do likewise. So why buy the !"£$%^&*ing crisps then??!!
So, if I say something, there'll be an almightyful row and tears and the whole 9 yards, so do I just start myself and see will she join me if and when it's working for me?
We're the typical comfort eaters - my little niece is putting on a bit of a tummy and my mother tells her not to be eating rubbish, but takes her to the shop for a treat a few times a week. Grrrrrr! It's her way of showing she cares, but she can't be told.
Is it just bite my tongue and get on with it myself? I feel such a cow 'cos she just got a photo of herself at a wedding and was disgusted at how she looks, but can't seem to do anything about it?
Any advice? And please be gentle about her - mother/daughter relationships are strange things!!
