argggg!!!!

i miss living on my own.  what food that was around me in my own apartment was very controlled.  now that i moved back home (stupid loss of job) i have to control myself which i'm getting better with, but i have the damn food police all over me.  my families opionon on what i'm supposed to be eating is so screwed up.  i've tried education, ignoring, and telling them to back off.  nothing is working so today when i got all pissed off about it my mom told me to go away.  seriously i'm not 10 anymore and this really ****** me off.  i told her how much i'm supposed to be eating and she said they've seen me eat till i puke.  no she's seen me turn down dry chicken cause i thought it would get stuck, the one time a sandwich got stuck and i hurled and then most recently when i think i had a stomach virus cause all i ate was soup and it came back out.  so screw it i'm sitting in my room behind a closed door for the rest of the night because i'm not dealing with this right now.

sorry to hear your family is not helpfull in helping you with your journey. you know what you can and can not eat and how much you can eat. if you so happen to get sick its not nessearly because you ate to much it could be how it was cooked or something that didnt agree with your pouch. my mom had her surgery a month before i had mine and theres times shes eating something and shell ask if i want some and ill say i cant eat that and shell ask me why and i simply tell her that dosent agree. everything will work out just fine. just fix your own meals and ignore them the best you can.

OH girl...I can so totally relate. I don't live with my family but i'm around them all the time and it usually around meal time. They don't understand how just becuase something goes down once, dosn't mean it always will, and just because I have to get rid of something that decided not to go down easy, dosn't mean that I ate too much of it or tried to "gorge" myself. I have to keep telling myself that they have my best intrests at heart, and they're not trying to be mean, they just don't want to see me sick all the time. Just hang in there, it will get better and maybe once things pick up more in the economy you can get your own place back!!

I am in the same situation. I recently had to move back in with my parents also, and I have had similar problems.  My family doesn't eat healthy at all and there always bringing fattening foods and sweets into the house.   It just makes it even harder on me, but I've been doing really good so far, i think because I really, really, want this.  I'm trying to retrain my brain and my body that food is just a fuel and you dont need it just because your bored or something.  Anyway, I totally get having to move back in with your parents and then havin to go from your way of doing things back to theirs...It's not fun.
