I loved the "Tis The Season, Eat, Not Cheat" article. I am really doomed, sorry to say this Christmas with dieting. I don't mean to sound like a failure and a quitter, but I have a huge problem with family members and us dieting. They get furious with us and pout and won't speak, pick and bicker to us and get all pushed out of shape the entire time if we won't eat everything. I always cave to keep the peace and have the cookies, breads, pies, salads, etc. Trust me, we have been told, "Oh we'll have cheeses and meats, so don't worry about it." They have known in advance we were bringing low carb crackers, only to take them to the kitchen and then be snubbed until we EAT IT ALL. We are seriously thinking of going and doing our own thing this year since it's so important we keep the weight off we have both worked so hard to lose. I feel alone with this happening and it keeps us from being successful. Heaven knows we have talked until we are blue in the face to both sides of the family-it is not heard-ever. And get this...these are the same people who tell us we are fat when we eat the food they have served throughout the 23 years that dh and I have been married. Sorry, I don't mean to sound whiney, but it's going to mean a big weight gain and then about a month to quit binging on crap foods. Does anyone else here have this problem? Barbie
