Food pushers

To spend time with my dad this Christmas, I had to spend time with his wife, too.  She is a major food pusher.  Fortunately I had to spend time with only one of the food pushers in my life, because I couldn't have taken any more.  She was more than enough!  

First she tells me how great I look, which is followed quickly with the 'but don't lose anymore' speech.  Blah, blah, blah...  On the first day of Christmas, after explaining to her that I don't eat sugar anymore, she preceded to offer me five different kinds of cookies, pumpkin pie, scones, bear claws, ice cream and hot chocolate.  No, I'm not exaggerating and no, she wasn't just trying to be polite.  

On the second day of Christmas, she again offered me all these.  When that failed, she tried guilting me into eating her leftover apple slices!  She was too full for them and she just couldn't throw them out because that's not how she was raised.  For an hour she droned on about these apple slices.  At dinner she tried to get me to finish her salad.  It was all I could do not to smack her.  What do you do with people like this?

Other than that, Christmas and New Year were great.  I hope your holidays went well also.  

 

Happy New Year,
I'm sorry you had to deal with this. Some people just can't deal with others seeking to be healthy. Stand your ground. If need be limit the time you spend with this kind of person.
Celebrate every good decision you make.
Hugs~
Annie

Thanks for the encouragement.  I needed it today.  Sometimes God speaks through other people.
