Well, it came to a head as feared. My mom is visiting me for two weeks. Tonight (the start of the weekend when I am not at work) she noticed me skipping dinner as everyone at home sat down for a Chinese take-out to which I did not take part as I do intermittant fasting. Anyhow, she suggested within earshot of me, and to my wife, that she did not like this and that I was "starving myself". My wife concurred. I went ******* crazy.
I told her that I had been 20 stone (280lbs), was on BP medication and cholestoral medication and would probably be in the ground before she was in my 50s unless I took some action. I explained that I just did not need to eat in the evening (I rarely feel hungry at this time) and that this was important for me.
But I fear it was t.m.i..
Handled badly like I have a knack for in all aspects of my life.
She got upset. My wife will also probably be upset with me for upsetting my mom (later - as they are all sitting around me as I type this).
I will stay OP, but this is HARD! Nobody really gets it!
