I'm shaking with anger right now, and I'm not sure whether I want to scream or cry!
I'm in week 5 of CD now. I live with my parents and my brother is still at home too. So obviously I've been eating my soups/porridge/bars in front of them all every day. It would be pretty hard to miss the fact that I'm on some kind of diet.
A couple of days ago, my brother decided to offer me a chocolate bar (he never does this). My mam hastily 'reminded' him that I'm on a diet and can't eat anything 'normal'.
Today, I've been feeling really drained and I'm having really bad food cravings. I know I've gotten off lightly up until now as my food demons haven't really been bothering me, but I've found it really hard to get through today and I said so to my family when I got home.
After dinner, my brother then proceeded to get up and declare to the entire room "ooh, I think I'll go and have supper. What shall I have? I think I'm going to get some bread, and some crisps, and a biscuit, and a bar of chocolate. Ooh and then I'll go to bed and then when I get up it will be time for breakfast!"
(I forgot to mention, my brother is not a kid, by the way. He's over 30).
I had to get up and leave the room. Hell hath absolutely no fury compared to what I want to unleash right now! I'm absolutely fuming and don't know what to do with myself other than vent to some people who I'm sure will understand why I'm so angry (sorry for my rant!!)
I know I'm feeling quite emotional right now, but was that not just a little unfair? Does anyone else have similar issues with family/colleagues/"friends" taking the p*ss in your hour of need?
Sorry again for the ranting :sigh:
