I haven't posted in a while, but wanted to jump in on this topic.
WHY is it ok to comment on all my food and weight now that I lost over 100lbs, but nobody said a word when I was fat and eating horrible foods in horible amounts!! It obviously happens to a lot of us. Sometimes I really want to say "why are you eating that double cheeseburger and large fries and making comments about my salad with chicken!?! You eat what you eat and I will eat what I eat!
This just happened again over at my parents house. It was my Mom's birthday. They were having ham, mash potatoes with butter and sour cream, 4 cheese stuffed eggplant that was battered in flour and egg and a salad. I said I would bring roasted vegtables. My Mom said that sounds fine. I also basically brought my own dinner cause I would have to have such small portions of everythng and I still would have gone over my count, not to mention all the sodium of everything. (I have a horrible time with sodium) My Mom was almost mad at me! What is so wrong with the food that we cooked that you can't eat it! UGH! I didn't say it was wrong or bad! I didn't say anything about it. I ended up just saying that because I am running a 1/2 marathon this weekend I wanted to make sure I am "fueled" really well. Which was part of the reason, I can't stand being really bloated when I run. I think it is ironic that if I had sat down and had 2 heaping helping of everything there, NOBODY would have said anything! Now I am just the crazy healthy eater!!!
End of rant! Jelly
