I know we have been discussing quite a few diet topics this evening and I wanted to bring up the fact that I get very little support from my family and the majority of my friends to eat healthy. I live with my grandmother and she is obese. She knows I use to be overweight. Now, every female in my family is overweight. So, I am obviously fighting genetics here. It's like they shove unhealthy food in my face constantly. When I cook I cook without seasoning. If you want butter or salt then you can add it yourself. If I am cooking a meat I use certain spices, lemon juice or maybe a lite dressing or sauce but I don't add any butter, fats or salt. That being said, I do know how to cook the hell outta some good southern food but I choose to fix healthy meals instead. But we buy two different milks, I drink skim or 1% and she drinks 2%. She buys Sara Lee bread and I buy whole wheat. I also know that grandmothers do give food to show love but she knows and experiences what I must fight only a daily basis. I appreciate her immensely but I can't allow myself to get big again. The other females in my family and friends of mine that are overweight also try to shove food in my face particularly when it seems like I am reaching my goal weight, which is 105. With my small, petite frame I look best at 105 and my clothes fit lovely. Now, pushing 110 I barely can wear my clothes.
I can ramble about this all night but do any of you other lady's struggle with this same dilemna?
