I am having trouble allowing myself to eat more during the day because I always feel I have to "save" the calories for the evening... just in case. Like last night, I wasn't planning on eating anything after class, which ends at 9, but I was really hungry so on my way home I ate a tangerine. That was enough for me but after I got home, my bf and his parents pressured me into eating more veggies, fish balls, and fruit. They always pressure me by saying I HAVE to eat this or that for my own health, it's ridiculous! For example, last night it was "you can't not eat, you haven't had dinner", which isn't exactly correct because my workout was from 7-9 so I ate late in the afternoon around 4 then I had a tangerine around 6. My mom called me this morning and she agreed I shouldn't listen to them, especially when they pressure me to eat white rice (Chinese people think rice is absolutely essential when we all know it's actually refined carbs that have little nutritional value). She thinks my bf doesn't want me to lose weight because he doesn't want more guys to like me (I already joke about it to him all the time).
