Diet-FIGHT...

[Stars_n_Guitars]

So, I've been on the South Beach Diet since Monday. It is currently Friday and 1am central time. The diet isn't the bad thing. The diet is actually pretty easy to follow. The hard thing is...MY GRANNY is on it too!

 

She's about 4 inches shorter than me and about 50 pounds lighter. She is driving me absolutely crazy! All she thinks about is food. Constantly she's asking us, "What are you eating? What are you drinking? You went out to eat, didn't you? What's that? What's this?" I can't put up with it much longer!!!

 

We've been LOT! I can't stand having someone all up in my business like she has been. I can't stand looking at her without being disgusted!! I can't help but realizing that if I DON'T LOSE WEIGHT, I'LL BE LIKE HER SOON!!!!

 

The woman can not walk from one room to the next without having to sit down and rest!!!! She's disrespectful of other's feelings. It's like the whole world has to revolve around her or she'll throw a fit! She snapped at me several times today. Several times yesterday. Several times every day since we started this diet! I've tried to bite my tongue and just take it but this is really bringing me down!

 

I'm wanting to get out of the constantly thinking about food but it's so hard to do with her reminding me about it every time I take a drink of my water, or crunch on some ice!!! I know diets can be tough. Do any of yall out there know what I'm going through? Have a similiar situation? How do I keep my positive attitude about this new way of living with someone constantly reminding me of my old way of living??? ](*,)

Do you work? Try volunteering for something or joining a group, something that takes you out of the house and keeps you focussed on other things.

Do you live with your gran?

Can you move out?

If you can't talk to her about it then you need to stay busy out of the house.

Simple solution - spend time in the gym! YOu will literally be killing two birds with one stone!

[Alezia]

Is she someone who has been struggling with her weight all her life?

Or someone who has done a lot of yo-yo dieting (lost a lot and regained a lot in short periods of times).

If so, she might feel some pressure because you are suceeding at something she is not very good at.

I'm sorry this is just too funny I cracked up about the granny part..

 

Diets are hard. I usually gain weight after them

I've been doing good so far lately, losing slowly, but still loosing.

the diet is the bad thing. usually these 'specialized' diets starve you of something. some nutrients, some fats, etc. it can get to you mentally.

I don't work currently. Have been helping her out. I'm actually with her in Alabama, visiting family.

 

Oh she keeps me plenty busy, ordering me around constantly!

I've been walking and swimming anything to get out of the house. Thing is, when I come in, she jumps all over me with things to do...i mean the SECOND i walk through the door!

She has been struggling her entire life. Yes, done lots of the yo-you dieting. I'm not suceeding. that's not the problem. She's OBSESSED WITH EATING!!!

Well they say it's not a diet really, "It's a way of life." and, it really is. I'm just learning to cut out sugar and breads and pasta...starches. There is nothing that I need in those things, it's just empty...no nutrients. They are mainly fillers...to make someone feel more full.

She is just a B!! Like today, she went and had my aunt buy her some skipBo cards because I cleaned off the table the other night and put all the cards back in the box and put the box in my purse. She said, "see what i got?" and tapped the box of cards, "now I don't have to ask you for yours!"

 

SHE'S ridiculous. She does crap on purpose to make people feel bad. She didn't ask me for my cards, or if she did, I didn't hear her. So she took that as i didn't want her using my cards. UGH!!!

maybe she uses it as a way to work out her own frustrations so then it's best to let show as less as possible that she reaches this effect

or what if you start doing the same
