I've had my parents staying this weekend. I get on well with them, but I really feel like they're subconsciously sabotaging me.
My mother told me that they'd get some groceries in as "payment" for them staying. I said that I didn't want anything - they're family, and my fridge, deep freeze and cupboards are full with food. My Xmas club order as delivered during the week and I've given away all of the unhealthy food - or wrapped it up for Chrismas presents. They bought food. Including cheese, which is one of my major trigger foods. I won't buy cheese now because I know how easy it is for me to go through a large block of cheese over a couple of days.
My mother made the comment that she was pleased to see I was doing something about my weight, then went out and bought me cheese. We also went out for dinner on Saturday night and went to a place where everything was deep fried - I'd suggested going to a completely different restaurant where I knew I could get something healthy.
They didn't even open the cheese. It's still sitting in my fridge - my mother's comment was "you love cheese, so we'll leave it here". I need to get rid of it, but rubbish day's not till Friday and since it's summer I don't really want to throw it in the bin now as my flat will smell absolutely foul if the cheese is in the bin that long.
I'm staying with my parents for a week over Christmas so I need to figure out a way to deal with this, and fast. Does anyone have any suggestions that they can offer...
Thanks in advance
