My mum is a feeder. When I was down to see her earlier this week she kept trying to get me to eat more than one protein meal/fruit/cake. She knows how this works but just can't help herself. It's because she wants to show her love through food so she gets quite annoyed when I refuse it. When I'm not on the diet but maintaining she gets quite insistant that I have cake when we go out for coffee. She gets really annoyed that I refuse it. I view it that the need to feed is her issue and not mine - whilst I'm happy to explain to her why I'm not having the food I won't eat it just because it will make her happy - this is about my health.

My husband is a feeder! He comes home with puddings, crisps etc. he has been very good since I started s&s though so hopefully we can break that cycle.
My mum is a feeder too. When I was growing up she used to feed me all the time and give me treats. I do believe this is why I am overweight in the first place. Won't make the same mistake with my kids

My mum was a weird mixture: kind of a feeder (ie you MUST clear your plate) but also a spectacularly bad cook. Evenings of liver poached in a casserole of water (I kid you not) until it had the appearance of black leather outside and the texture (and possibly taste) of green suede inside. We had to eat it. With burnt rice. Ack! She also (memorably) once boiled cubes of Spam with mushrooms for a couple of hours. I was reading 1984 at the time and thought she'd done it deliberately (Winston describes a meal very like that in the book) but no, it was her idea of a nutritious dinner, with boiled, translucent, wangy cabbage. Also for years I thought I hated chicken, because I'd only ever had it so overcooked it was like shredded string macrame.
Cooking kind of skipped a generation in our family, as her mum (my Oma) was a fabulous (very traditional) cook. I LOVE to cook as well (so being on a vlcd is sometimes v hard for me because no tasting of food while cooking :-( ) Is it any wonder that my sister and I developed very back-handed associations with food?
I am being very careful to give my two girls a variety of foods to choose from and never force them to finish if they are full. Always get complimented on the fact that neither of them is 'picky'. They will try anything!

Exactly what I said. I am very jealous of her, but in a good way as its given me the kick I needed to lose weight, I'd never dislike her for it, I can't even think why I would?
Just shows that some people have very odd attitudes to other peoples weight, and that when we are losing weight it's not just the battle with food we face, but the battle with other people too!

A massive battle with other people it's the negative comments people are just jealous that we have the guts to try this type of plan and they haven't it takes a lot to break the habit of eating when people think its easy they should try it but they won't they will stay negative people forever while we blossom into beautiful people. I'm doing this for myself no one else ..... Sorry rant over they just really pee me off

Think its healthy to be envious. You can be envious and still be a friend. Some people just have bad attitudes that we can do without. This diet is hard enough at times without other peoples negativity. A colleague at work lost a ton of weight on lighter life. Unfortunately she gained it all back and I swear some people were positively gleeful when she did x

That's exactly the sort of people you could do without isn't it !!
I agree with the envious thing my friend is slimmer than myself looks great doesn't need to loose weight in my opinion but thinks she does , if she didn't I wouldn't be negative towards her id support her all the way ! X
