I had this problem too... My mom, who was always bugging me about my weight, would still make meals with all the "bad" stuff in them..
I finally had to sit her down and ask her to please keep in mind that if she wants our family to get together for meals, some concessions to the diet need to be made.. I gave her a list of good and bad things and so now, even though she still puts out bread, potatoes and dessert after the meal, at least she keeps in mind the things Liz and I can't have that she would normally encorporate into the preparation, like salt...
Of course, now the downside is that she makes a big deal of pointing out that she "prepared it that way JUST FOR YOU"... *sigh*.. Can't win for losing, I guess...
