Last night, my 13-year-old daughter came to me practically in tears. She wants to start eating Carnation Instant Breakfast (a powder you mix with milk as a meal replacement) since I'm not allowed to eat regular food.
I told her that although I don't mind her having the breakfast drink once in a while, she's slim and doesn't need to lose weight. The poor kid nearly broke down in tears because I wasn't allowed to eat real food, and she felt it "wasn't fair."
I assured her that I wasn't hungry, that I was doing this diet of my own free will, and that I didn't feel at all bad about it. I told her I wasn't joining the family at the dinner table because I didn't want to be tempted, and I wasn't at all unhappy, so she shouldn't worry.
Truthfully, I was fibbing just a bit, because I am hungry, and I do feel a bit crummy about having to drink these lousy shakes when everyone else is eating stuff that looks oh-so-yummy.
Anyway, I'm wondering if other CDers have problems with family members freaking out when they start this diet?
