Everyone in my family wanted the traditional hotdogs,baked beans ,deviled eggs,potato salad , chips ect for tomorrow...No problem..I am fixing it all and I will have a hotdog (no roll) and a deviled egg.
This is what gets old...I have many people in my family that are obese and they see my plate (when theirs is piled with enough food for 5 people )and always say things like ..
"is that all you are eating"
"you don't eat enough for a bird"
"are you sick"
For years I have just said I am watching my calories when I want to say..
"If I ate what you ate, I would weigh what you weigh"
What can I say that isn't too mean but gets the point across that
I would love to pile my plate up but I would weigh 300 pounds if I did ?
These are the same family members that claim their metabolism is the reason they are heavy...are you kidding ??
I know I sound mean right now but I am tired of feeling like I am ruining their
party because I am not pigging out.
