E39 I feel ya on this. Others 'getting involved' with the food we put into our mouths and the foods we do best on eating---is a royal pain for alot of us LOL
Everyone thinks they know what is best for us. They don't!
Key thing is you see it. You are acknowledging this roadblock and you WILL have to address it. You got some options to plan for yourself----
like, do not talk 'diet' or losing lbs. or how you are eating AT ALL with your mom. When food talk starts change the subject to anything.
Next is if you are eating out wtih your mom eat before you go out. Stop at Wendys or eat a lb. of bacon at home before you go to meet her. That way your belly is full and whatever you order out will be small and on plan cause your appetite is handled already.
Third is it is time to put down the hammer on you and excuses. This is one of the hardest I had to do
We can 'blame' the people who are so annoying and insistent but in the end of it all, we make the choice! It is your choice in every situation in the bitter end of it all, so one can't truly blame anyone at all in any fashion. Oh yea I blamed alot of people and events and situations on why I couldn't move forward and keep on plan, til the day I realized I have only 1 thing....ME....and my actions. No matter what anyone says, or what food they put down in front of me or any other excuse to eat crap means 0. It is your direct action in every situation that is the only thing that matters to you. We only got ourselves
We have to be strong and change and take responsibility full on. I finally realized this and once I did....took on my personal responsibility, then I changed and with calmness, instead of being more frantic on plan. There is a peace truly in deciding your own future and taking your actions to heart and it is worth figuring out this step
I think this is when 'things clicked for me'. We all have to find this step thru our own journey in our own time.
In the end, it is ALL up to YOU. No one else has any real power over you in any way unless you let it. Yea I know
It is hard to ignore, live thru it cause it annoys us and more, but you got the inner core power for your change.
So rock on E! You will be ok cause you see this, now it is time to act on it and fix it and move forward. Might take some time but keep chatting with yourself on how to handle each situation that comes up in the best, easiest way to keep you on plan. We all got little tricks/tips/plans etc we do to make sure we hold our plans, now put some into effect for you and hold tight!
OK that is just some stuff I had to go thru too and ways I knew I had to act to make real changes that stuck.
Real addicts can't pretend to be low carb. Doesn't work for us. If you know who you are and what food does to you, only thing we got is a real gung ho inner strength to change and eat our best to kill cravings and do for us. Self care in our eating is key.
Keep going....you got this truly. Change takes time as we face all the darn demons that keep us on carbs
Might be different for each of us but in the end we all have to find that power to change and hold it!
